Aim: This study aims to examine the effect of breast cancer and breast self-examination online education given in line with the Health Belief Model on women's health beliefs and fear of breast cancer.
Methods: This research, conducted in a quasi-experimental type with a single group pretest-posttest evaluation, was carried out as an online study between November 2022 and January 2023. The study included 66 women in a social media group. The data of the study were collected with the descriptive characteristics data collection form, “Champion Health Belief Model Scale”, and “Champion Breast Cancer Fear Scale” before and two months after the online education intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired samples t-test.
Results: After the online education intervention, there was a significant increase in the mean scores of women's health beliefs subscales, perceived susceptibility (t=-6.616, p=0.001), perceived benefits (t=-10.576, p=0.001), perceived confidence (t=-16.268, p=0.001), and health motivation (t=-3.125, p=0.001); there was a significant decrease in the mean score of perceived barriers (t=6.712, p=0.001). The online education intervention had no effect on the perceived seriousness (t=-1.493, p=0.14), one of the subscales of women's health beliefs. A significant decrease was found between the breast cancer fear scale pretest and posttest mean scores (t=6.170, p=0.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study show that breast cancer and breast self-examination online education have significant effects on women's health beliefs, especially perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, perceived trust, and health motivation, and reduce the fear of breast cancer. An online educational intervention may be an appropriate approach to encourage women to practice breast awareness and regular breast self-examination.

Bulgular: Çevrimiçi eğitim müdahalesi sonrasında kadınların sağlık inançları alt boyutlarından duyarlılık algısı (t=-6,616, p=0,001), yarar algısı (t=-10,576, p=0,001), güven algısı (t=-16,268, p=0,001) ve sağlık motivasyonu (t=-3,125, p=0,001) puan ortalamalarında anlamlı bir artış olduğu, engel algısı (t=6,712, p=0,001) puan ortalamasında ise anlamlı bir azalış olduğu saptandı. Çevrimiçi eğitim müdahalesinin kadınların sağlık inançları alt boyutlarından ciddiyet algısına (t=-1,493, p=0,14) etkisi olmadığı belirlendi. Meme kanseri korkusu ölçeği ön test ve son test puan ortalamaları arasında (t=6,170, p=0,001) anlamlı bir azalış olduğu saptandı.
