Abstract: (48 Views)
Aim: Early detection of breast cancer through mammography is effective in reducing mortality associated with this cancer. This study aims to determine the effect of Protection Motivation Theory-based education on the intention to undergo mammography among teachers in District 4 of Tehran.
Methods: This interventional study was conducted on 250 teachers in Tehran, who were randomly divided into an intervention group (125 participants) and a control group (125 participants) in 2024. The data collection tool was a questionnaire on women's participation in breast cancer screening based on Protection Motivation Theory, which included 56 items and 8 dimensions. The educational intervention based on Protection Motivation Theory was conducted in four sessions, held bi-weekly, for the intervention group. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 and chi-square, paired t-tests, and covariance.
Findings: The results indicated that after the educational intervention, the mean scores of the constructs of Protection Motivation Theory and the intention to undergo mammography showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups (P ≥ 0.05).
Conclusion: The educational intervention using Protection Motivation Theory is effective in increasing women’s intention to participate in breast cancer screening programs and undergo mammography. Therefore, utilizing the constructs of Protection Motivation Theory in designing educational interventions appears to be essential.
