“…This finding is consistent with the results of the studies conducted by Awwad et al, Noman et al, Ibitoye et al, and Dadsetan et al and on learning knowledge from longitudinal data of mammograms to improving breast cancer risk prediction [ 22 – 25 ]. It is consonant with another study by Mohsenipouya et al, who aimed at investigating the use of educational intervention in breast cancer screening in northern Iran [ 26 ]. Also, it was consistent with the studies by Heidari et al, Sabeg et al, and Sadeghi et al [ 27 – 29 ].…”

Background. Early identification of breast cancer may result in earlier treatment and a lower mortality rate. This fact has resulted in the development of screening programs to detect breast cancer in its early stages; thus, the current study sought to investigate the influence of educational intervention on knowledge, attitude, and practice about breast cancer screening in Izeh, Khozestan Province, Iran. Materials and Methods. This experiment was carried out on the women of Izeh city in 2019. This study included 120 women who were randomized into the experimental and control groups at random (60 in the experimental and 60 in the control groups). Before and two months after the intervention, data were collected using a researcher-created questionnaire by the control and education groups. The intervention program for the intervention group included eight educational sessions over the course of two months. The SPSS 20 statistical program was used to examine the data, as well as the paired t -test, independent t -test, and Chi-square. Results. There was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups’ mean scores of knowledge, attitude, and practice prior to the educational intervention, but a significant difference was observed after the intervention, with the experimental group obtaining significantly higher mean scores of knowledge, attitude, and practice ( P = 0.05 ).Conclusion. In the present study, the educational intervention on the knowledge, attitude, and practice towards breast cancer screening led to the increased scores of the experimental group compared to control group.

“…The research results regarding performing three breast cancer screening behaviors, including monthly breast self-examination, clinical examination by the midwife or physician and mammography, indicated that the rate of performing such three behaviors increased significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group (Regarding the clinical examination by the midwife or physician, considering that this examination should be done routinely once a year, the results of the study showed a significant increase in this examination, which was due to the fact that a number of women in the intervention group after ultrasound or mammography were determined to have breast cysts, and these women were examined once or even twice by the midwife or physician at intervals of 3 and 6 months). This study produced results which corroborate the findings of a great deal of the previous work in mammography by Khani Jeihooni et al [ 59 ], khalili et al [ 6 ]; the findings are consistent with data obtained from monthly breast self-examination, Bashirian et al [ 66 ], these results are in line with those of previous studies about monthly self- and clinical examination by Sheppard et al [ 61 ] and Mohseni et al [ 69 ]. However, the findings of the current study do not support the previous research given breast self-examination and mammography 2 months after the intervention [ 49 ].…”

Introduction Breast cancer disease is known as the most common cancer among women. Lack of knowledge and awareness is a leading cause of breast cancer, and since nearly all women are increasingly susceptible to this disease, training screening behaviors for early detection is proven essential in order to reduce breast cancer mortality. Therefore, the present study was designed to determine the effect of educational intervention based on the Health Action Model in improving breast cancer screening behaviors in women aged 30 to 69 in Kashan, Iran. Methods This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 162 women aged 30–69 years old among the clients of Comprehensive health service centers in Kashan, Iran and they were assigned to intervention and control groups. The research instrument included a questionnaire assessed within three phases: baseline, 3-months, and 6-months, containing Health Action Model (HAM) structures and also three screening behaviors. The intervention consisted of a model-based education package and was carried out over 2 months. To evaluate the effect of the intervention, the mean of model structures and proportion screening behaviors in the third and sixth months were compared with the baseline phase. All analyses were carried out using SPSS, version 22. Results The intervention and control groups were homogeneous regarding the structures of the HAM and the proportion of screening behaviors in the baseline phase (p > 0.05). In the 3-month (p < 0.05) and 6-month (p < 0.05) phases, the mean scores of the HAM constructs in the intervention group were found higher compared with the control group. Moreover, the proportion of clinical breast examinations in the intervention group was statistically higher than in the control group in the 3-month (p < 0.001) and 6-month (p < 0.001) phases. In addition, the proportion of mammography performed in the 3-month (p = 0.002) and 6-month (p < 0.001) phases were reported to be higher in the intervention group compared with the control group. Conclusion Overall, these results provide important insight into the effectiveness of the interventions based on the Health Action Model in promoting breast cancer screening behaviors and the determinants of such behaviors.

“…The intention is a key factor in a person's readiness to perform a behavior. Researchers believe that the more people intend to perform a behavior, the more likely they perform that behavior[36, 65].The research results about performing three breast cancer screening behaviors, including monthly breast selfexamination, clinical examination by a midwife/physician, and mammography, indicated that the rate of performing such three behaviors increased signi cantly in the intervention group compared to the control group.The result was consistent with the results of studies by Khani Jeihooni et al about mammography [60], Shojae Zadeh et al [6], Bashirian et al about monthly breast self-examination [67], Sheppard et al [62], and Mohseni et al[70] about monthly self-and clinical examination, but the results were inconsistent with studies by Ghafari et al[11] about breast selfexamination and mammography two months after the intervention. The differences between the two groups after the educational intervention showed the effectiveness of the educational intervention based on the health action model (HAM).ConclusionImproving women's knowledge, attitude, and motivation can play important role in regular breast cancer screening behaviors.…”

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Considering the lack of knowledge about the cause of breast cancer and since all women are susceptible to this disease, training screening behaviors for early diagnosis is essential to reduce the mortality from this disease. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effect of training based on the health action model in improving breast cancer screening behaviors in women aged 30 to 69 in Kashan City. Methods: The present study was semi-experimental and the research setting included comprehensive health service centers in Kashan. The statistical population was women aged 30 to 69. A total of 162 women in the same age group were selected to participate in the study by simple random sampling. They were divided into two intervention and control groups. Before the educational intervention, a questionnaire distributed between two groups. The educational package was designed and prepared after analyzing the initial data of the questionnaires. The educational intervention was performed in both virtual (Whatsapp platform) and attendance methods for the intervention group over two months. All participants completed informed consent forms before the study. The questionnaires were distributed and collected in three periods before, three, and six months after the educational intervention. The data was analyzed using SPSS 22 software. Findings: The mean scores of knowledge, perceived susceptibility, severity, barriers, benefits, self-efficacy, subjective norms, skills and behavioral intention related to monthly breast self-examination, clinical examination and mammography, significantly increased in the intervention group compared to the control group three and six months after the intervention. Furthermore, screening behaviors, including monthly breast self-examination, clinical examination and mammography, significantly increased in the intervention group compared to the control group 3 three and six months after the intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion: The research results proved the effectiveness of interventions based on the health action model in promoting breast cancer screening behaviors and the determinants of such behaviors.
