Abstract

Background: Breast self-examination (BSE) is an important part of health care for all women in every stage of life. This study aimed to investigate the effect of theory of planned behavior (TPB) on doing BSE in a sample of Iranian women.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out to examine the factors affecting the BSE in 400 women. Then, a quasi-experimental study was conducted on 200 subjects (100 in experimental group and 100 in control group). The educational intervention for the experimental group consisted of 8 training sessions. A questionnaire including demographic characteristics, knowledge, and constructs of TPB was used to measure BSE performance before and 6 months after the intervention. Constructs of attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control predicted the intention to do the BSE.

Results: The mean age of the subjects was 31.65 ± 7.59 years. The studied variables predicted 38.7% of behavioral intention (P < .001, odds ratio = 0.387). Six months after the intervention, the experimental group showed a significant increase in the knowledge, attitude, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, intention, and BSE performance compared with the control group (P < .001).

Conclusions: This study showed that educational intervention based on the TPB was effective in promoting breast cancer screening behavior such as BSE. Therefore, it is suggested that health educators and health care planners use educational texts based on these constructs of TPB to increase their influence on individuals via screening behavior for breast cancer.

基于计划行为理论(TPB)的教育干预对伊朗女性乳房自检的影响

背景:乳房自我检查(BSE)是所有妇女在生命的每个阶段的保健的重要组成部分。本研究旨在探讨计划行为理论(TPB)对伊朗女性患疯牛病的影响。方法:对400例女性疯牛病的影响因素进行横断面研究。然后对200名受试者(实验组100人，对照组100人)进行准实验研究。实验组的教育干预包括8次训练。问卷调查包括人口统计学特征、知识和TPB结构，用于测量干预前和干预后6个月的BSE表现。态度、主观规范和感知行为控制的构念预测了做BSE的意向。结果:患者平均年龄31.65±7.59岁。研究变量预测38.7%的行为意向(P P)结论:本研究表明基于TPB的教育干预对促进乳腺癌筛查行为如BSE是有效的。因此，我们建议健康教育者和卫生保健计划者使用基于这些TPB结构的教育文本，通过乳腺癌筛查行为来增加它们对个体的影响。
