Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of two different health education methods (one based on motivational interviewing) on women's HPV knowledge, cervical cancer health beliefs, and screening behaviors in women aged 30-65. A total of 96 healthy women who are registered at the Incirli Family Health Center in Ankara, meet the inclusion criteria, and volunteer to participate will be randomly assigned to three groups (32 participants per group).

The control group will receive standard healthcare services. The first intervention group will receive three sessions of motivational interviewing-based health education on cervical cancer prevention through home visits, along with an informational brochure. The second intervention group will receive health education and a brochure, followed by a reminder session via phone. At the end of the study, participants in the control group will be offered the intervention of their choice.

Detailed Description

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

This study aims to evaluate the effect of two different health education methods-one based on motivational interviewing-on HPV knowledge, cervical cancer health beliefs, and screening behavior in women aged 30-65. A total of 96 healthy women, registered at the Incirli Family Health Center in Ankara, who meet the inclusion criteria and provide informed consent, will be randomly assigned into three groups of 32 participants each.

The control group will receive standard healthcare services. The first intervention group will receive three face-to-face educational sessions based on motivational interviewing principles on HPV and cervical cancer prevention through home visits, along with an informational brochure. These sessions will occur during Weeks 1, 2, and 3. A final follow-up session to administer FORM II will be held in Week 8.

The second intervention group will receive a single face-to-face educational session on HPV and cervical cancer prevention (Week 1), receive a brochure, and two follow-up reminder sessions via telephone in Weeks 2 and 3. FORM II will be administered in Week 8.

After the study period, participants in the control group will be offered the opportunity to choose and receive one of the two intervention methods. All participants will complete the HPV Knowledge Scale, the Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test Health Belief Model Scale, and a VAS for self-assessment.
