Abstract

ABSTRACT
Purpose: This research was conducted to identify the factors that affected women’s breast cancer prevention behaviors.
Methods: The research, designed as a descriptive study, was conducted between October 2020 - March 2021 and the sample of the research consisted of 587 women.
Results: The scores to be obtained from the Scale to Measure Factors Influencing Women’s Breast Cancer Prevention Behaviors range from a minimum of 33 to a maximum of 165, and the mean score obtained by the participant women in this study was 104.15± 10.03 points. It was found that, as per knowing the frequency of having mammography screening, receiving breast self-exam training, and having clinical breast exam, there were statistically significant differences in the means of scores obtained by the participant women from the scale (p<0.05).
Conclusions: It was identified that the participant women had moderately positive breast cancer prevention behaviors.
