“…According to the HBM, people's beliefs about whether they are at a risk of a disease or health problem and their perceptions of the benefits of taking action to avoid it will influence their readiness to action . The results of this study indicate that health beliefs have some effects on developing positive health behaviors (adjusted R 2 = 4.7%, Δ R 2 = 5.6%), which is consistent with the findings of many other studies . The HBM is an internationally used conceptual theory framework for judging the perceived susceptibility to disease, the severity of perceived disease, the barriers to seeking preventive measures, and the benefits of preventive measures.…”

Aim: The objective of this study is to identify the role of factors influencing women's breast cancer screening (BCS) intentions in Changchun city based on the health belief model (HBM) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Methods: A cross-sectional study of 422 women aged 17-75 years was conducted in Changchun, northern China, in 2018. Data were collected using a questionnaire that included three parts. We used descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regressions to analyze data in SPSS version 23.0. Results: Career (P = 0.004), clinical examination (P = 0.002), X-ray examination (P = 0.026), screening costs accepted (100-300 RMB) (P = 0.001), perceived behavioral benefit (P = 0.000), self-efficacy (P = 0.000), subjective norms (P = 0.000), behavioral attitudes (P = 0.000) and perceived behavioral control (P = 0.000) had significant associations with BCS intentions. This study tested the applicability of the HBM (adjusted R 2 = 4.7%, ΔR 2 = 5.6%) and the TPB (adjusted R 2 = 8.3%, ΔR 2 = 3.8%) in the prediction of BCS intentions. It was found that the predictive power of the integrated model (adjusted R 2 = 39%, ΔR 2 = 30.8%) is better than that of each of the single models. Therefore, the integrated model has better predictive power. Conclusion: An exploration of the factors affecting BCS intentions based on the HBM and the TPB is beneficial for reduced mortality and the development of measures to increase women's BCS awareness, thus providing a basis for future research on the factors affecting BCS intentions.

“…Regarding the total score of knowledge and performance, the present results showed that there were highly statistical significant differences between total score of knowledge and performance during the three phases of the study pre, post and follow-up P-value 0.000. This observation was in the same line with [6,13,16,17] who reported that there were statistical significant differences between total score of knowledge and practice of the participants during pre and post-test. The designed program helps to add new knowledge and correct false concepts regarding BC and BSE which had a positive impact on performance.…”

“…In accordance to relationship between personal data and total score of knowledge regarding BC and BSE; the present finding clears that there was statistical significance difference between score of knowledge and level of education of the rural community health workers during three phases of the study p-values = 0.010, 0.000 and 0.000 respectively. This result was in the same line with [16,17]. While there weren't relationship between age and residence with total score of knowledge, this was disagreed with [23] who reported presence of relationship with age and residence in conjunction with the total score of knowledge.…”

“…In referral to personal data of the participants; more than half were aged less than 20 years, this finding agreed with [6] who carried out a study on female Nursing Students to evaluate the effect of BSE training program in Alexandria University and reported that the highest percentage was among the age group less than 20 years. In contrast; [16] who conducted a study to evaluate the effect of training on women knowledge and beliefs about BC and early diagnosis methods and reported that the average age of women was 39.44 years old.…”

Breast Self-Examination (BSE) has a greatest role in the early discovery of breast cancer and it is still an important screening tool for early detection of Breast Cancer (BC) in developing countries. The study aimed to: Assess the impact of training program on improving knowledge and practices of rural community health workers regarding BC and BSE. Subjects and Methods: Design: Quasi-experimental research design. Sample: A total of 74 rural community health workers recruited in this study. Tools of the study: Two tools used; Tool (I): Self-administrated questionnaire; which divided into two parts, Part (1): Included participants' personal data, Part (2): Included questions to assess knowledge about BC and BSE. Tool (II): BSE performance checklist. Results: The participants were aged less than 20 years with university education (54.1% and 51.4% respectively); 73% of them were from rural area and 13.5% had family history of BC. There were highly statistical significant differences between total score of knowledge and practice during the three phases of the study pre, post and follow-up test p-values 0.000. Conclusion: A remarkable improvement was noticed in the participants' level of knowledge and practices during the posttest and after three months of follow-up. Recommendation: Establishment of ongoing training intervention to increase rural community health workers' confidence and skills for teaching preventive health behaviors including BSE to larger society.

“…After the program, the knowledge levels of the women about BC screening methods were reported to increase when compared with the scores prior to the training as in the present study, and it was found that their attitudes toward screening methods had taken a positive turn (18). Studies in Turkey have also reported that women's knowledge levels about BC increased after an educational program in a similar way to our research (7,18,19).…”

Objective: The aim of the study is to increase the participation level of women in screening programs by increasing the level of knowledge about early diagnosis and screening methods for breast cancer (BC). Materials and Methods:This was a pretest-posttest one group design study held in Eskişehir Osmangazi University, Turkey. The sample consisted of 405 women in all departments of the University. Data were collected using socio-demographic forms and questionnaires. Training about BC was provided for participants. The questionnaire used prior to the training to measure levels of knowledge about BC was re-administered 3 weeks after the training. Results: The women were most commonly aware of the breast self-examination (68.1%). The ratio of women who had had mammography in the previous year was 11.4%. The BC knowledge level significantly increased after the training (p=0.001). Conclusion: This study determined that the level of knowledge about BC in terms of early detection and screening was low and that the percentage of participation in screening was also low.
