Read More BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women and it is thesecond leading cause of mortality among cancers in women and a major health issue in developedcountries. Although there are simple and effective screening methods, just minority of women usethem. Given the high prevalence of breast cancer in Isfahan women and the low prevalence ofscreening behavior, the present study aimed to determine the impact of theory‑based educationalintervention on breast self‑examination (BSE) behavior and mammography.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present experimental study was conducted on 93 women referredto comprehensive health centers in Isfahan through convenience sampling, and by this way 46 womenwere included in the control group and 47 in the intervention group. Data collection was done bya valid and reliable questionnaire. Furthermore, educational interventions were performed for theintervention group in three sessions. Furthermore, the data were completed in the intervention groupbefore, immediately after, and 3 months after intervention and before and 3 months after interventionin the control group. The data were analyzed by SPSS (16); and paired t‑test and repeated measuretest were used for analysis in the intervention group and also independent t‑test and paired t‑testwere employed to analyze data of the control group.RESULTS: The results showed significant changes in perceived benefit constructs (P = 0.023),knowledge (P < 0.001), self‑efficacy (P < 0.001), and behavioral intention regarding BSE (P = 0.035)in the intervention group over time, but changes were not significant in both perceived susceptibilityand severity in the intervention group. As far as mammography behavior is concerned, only theperceived benefit construct in the intervention group had significant changes. In terms of the screeningbehavior, only BSE behavior significantly changed before and after intervention.CONCLUSION: The study showed that theory‑based education by applying of constructs suchas perceived benefits and self‑efficacy and intention for BSE model could promote breast cancerscreening behavior such as BSE. Therefore, it is suggested that health educators utilize educationaltexts based on these constructs to increase their influence on individuals via screening behaviorfor breast cancer.
