Description
Introduction: The incidence and mortality of breast cancer will be reduced by screening.
Objective: The study aimed to determine breast cancer screening behaviors based on the
health beliefs model in women living in Mashhad City, Iran.
Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 406
women referring to five health-medical centers in Mashhad from July 2018 to May 2019.
They were selected by the multistage sampling method. The study data were collected with
a questionnaire based on health belief model constructs consisting of two parts. The first
part collects sociodemographic information. The second part is based on constructs of the
health belief model (perceived susceptibility, perceived barriers, perceived severity, cues to
action, and self-efficacy). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential
statistics (the Smirnov-Kolmogorov, the Pearson correlation, and the Spearman test).
Results: The Mean±SD age of the participants was 33.5±10.3 years, and perceived severity and
perceived susceptibility of breast cancer screening behaviors were low and very low in 36.4%
and 8.1% of the women, respectively. Perceived barriers were high in 70% of women; cues to
action and self-efficacy were low in 57.4% and 17.2%, respectively. There was a negative and
significant relationship between perceived barriers and perceived benefits (P=0.001, r=-0.160).
Also, there were significant statistical relationships between preventive behavior with self-
efficacy (P=0.001, r=0.896) and cues to action (P=0.001, r=0.269). However, the Pearson test
showed a negative and significant relationship between age and self-efficacy (P=0.001, r=-0.231).
Conclusion: The present study highlights the educational programs for preventing breast
cancer screening behaviors based on the health belief model. These programs should focus
on increasing breast self-examination skills and understanding the perceived benefits of
breast cancer screening behaviors.
