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 simulation-based breast health education on breast cancer awareness and breast self-examination practices of Afghan refugee women. The study hypothesized that simulation-based breast health education would have an effect on breast cancer awareness and breast self-examination practices scores among Afghan refugee women.

Detailed Description

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

Purpose: The aim of the research is to examine the effects of simulation-based breast health education on breast cancer awareness and breast self-examination practices of Afghan refugee women.

Methods: The study will conduct with 64 (32 in the intervention group, and 32 in the control group) Afghan. The study population consisted of Afghan women. The simulation-based breast health education will applied to the intervention group once a week for 8 weeks.

No intervention will offer to the control group. Data will collected by a socio-demographic questionnaire, Breast Cancer Awareness Measure (BCAM) and breast self-examination practices checklist.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

simulation-based breast health education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention group will receive simulation-based breast health education once a week for eight weeks. The simulation- based breast health education program will compose two part. The first part, it will theoretical education and second part will continue as practical education. On the plan date, a 60-min lecture will give about breast cancer, its risk factors, interventions to reduce the risk of breast cancer, the value of early diagnosis and cancer screening. After a 10-min break, course attendees watched a 20-min video, after which the course attendees' questions will answer.

Control group

The control group will not take part the simulation-based breast health education

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
