The study was conducted to determine the effect of breast cancer and breast self-examination (BSE) education on breast cancer fear and health beliefs. The main questions it aims to answer are: H1: Breast cancer and BSE training given to women will affect the health beliefs of women. H2: Breast cancer and BSE training given to women will affect the fear of breast cancer among women. H3: Breast cancer and BSE training given to women will affect the information and behaviour in relation to breast cancer screening among women. Researchers divided participants into experimental and control groups to examine the effects of breast cancer and breast self-examination education on breast cancer fear and health beliefs. The experimental group received education about breast cancer and breast self-examination and was reminded to perform breast self-examination by phone for six months.
