Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of planned visual education based on the Health Belief Model on university students' attitudes and beliefs toward skin cancer. The planned visual education based in Health Belief Model has possitive effects on univestiy students' attitudes and beliefs toward skin cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of planned visual education based on the Health Belief Model on university students' attitudes and beliefs toward skin cancer. Planned as a cluster-randomized controlled experimental study conducted on two groups (n=116). The study was carried out in Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences (FEAS) and Hasan Ferdi Turgutlu Faculty of Technology (HFTFT) from the faculties of Manisa Celal Bayar University (MCBU) between February-Semptember 2019. Among seven departments in FEAS and four departments in the HFTFT, simple random sampling was used to draw lots again. The Department of Econometrics from the FEAS was assigned as the intervation groups (n=58) and Mechatronics Engineering from HFTFT was assigned as the control group (n=58). Data were collected using The Student Introduction Form and The Health Belief Model Scale in Skin Cancer.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The sample of this cluster randomized controlled experimental study consisted of 2nd year university students (n=116) training in Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences (FEAS) and Hasan Ferdi Turgutlu Faculty of Technology (HFTFT) from the faculties of Manisa Celal Bayar University (MCBU) between February-Semptember 2019. Among the faculties in MCBU, simple random sampling was used to draw lots, with the first lot being assigned to FEAS as the intervention group (IG), and the second lot being assigned to HFTFT as the control group (CG) . Among seven departments in FEAS and four departments in the HFTFT, simple random sampling was used to draw lots again. The Department of Econometrics from the FEAS was assigned as the IG and Mechatronics Engineering from HFTFT was assigned as the CG.

58 students for the CG and 58 students for the IG were recruited for the sample. Power of the study was calculated as post hoc at α=0.05 with a significance of 0.95.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Planned Visual Education Based on Health Belief Model

Intervention Type OTHER

The students in IG were administered the planned visual education based on Health Belief Model for a period of seven months.

The education materials were a PowerPoint presentation, a skin cancer model, videos titled "Dear 16 years old me", "Mr. Sun", a brochure, and 3 posters.

.

Control group

No attempt was made by researcher during the study. Only data were collected. At the end of the study, the planned visual education based Health Belief Model was given and all students continued in the study were given key rings with pictures about sun protection designed by the researchers.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
