Primary purpose: SCREENING

Brief summary: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of web-supported peer education on health beliefs, knowledge levels and breast self-examination in university students.

Detailed description: In line with the general purpose of the study, an experimental design will be used in the study. The population of this study consists of female students of Ankara Medipol University. Considering that there may be dropouts from the study in line with the determined sample size, 200 students (intervention; n=100, control; n=100) who were excluded from the exclusion criteria and who agreed to participate in the study were planned to constitute the study group.

Hypotheses of the Research Between the experimental group and the control group, which received peer education on breast cancer and Breast Self-Examination (BSE); H1a1: There is a difference in terms of the sensitivity subscale score average. H1b1: There is a difference in terms of the mean score of the seriousness/importance subscale.

H1c1: There is a difference in terms of the average score of the benefit perception subscale.

H1d1: There is a difference in terms of the average score of the obstacle perception subscale.

H1e1: There is a difference in terms of the mean score of the trust subscale. H1f1: There is a difference in terms of the health motivation subscale score average.

H2a1: There is a difference in terms of the average knowledge score. H3a1: There is a difference in terms of performing breast self-examination.
