Abstract (707 Views)
Aims: Early detection of breast cancer through mammography is effective in reducing mortality associated with this cancer. This study aimed to determine the effect of Protection Motivation Theory-based education on the intention to undergo mammography among teachers in District 4 of Tehran.
Materials & 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 by SPSS 26 using chi-square tests, paired t-tests, and covariance analysis.
Findings: 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.
