Abstract: (137 Views)
Aims: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an Android-based breast cancer risk assessment application in enhancing the knowledge of women of reproductive age regarding breast cancer prevention.
Materials & Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test control group approach. Participants were divided into intervention and control groups, each comprising 32 subjects. The intervention group utilized the risk detection application, while the control group received conventional education through a pocketbook. Demographic data and knowledge levels were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and inferential tests, including paired t-tests and independent t-tests.
Findings: There was a significant improvement in knowledge levels in both groups following the intervention. In the intervention group, the mean knowledge score increased from 10.940±1.865 at the pre-test to 13.380±1.314 at the post-test (p<0.0001). Similarly, in the control group, the mean score rose from 10.750±1.344 to 11.500±1.368 (p<0.0001). An independent t-test indicated a significant difference in the mean post-test scores between the intervention and control groups (p<0.0001), with the intervention group demonstrating a higher level of knowledge.
Conclusion: The breast cancer risk assessment detection application effectively enhances the knowledge of women of reproductive age regarding breast cancer prevention.
