简要总结
Purpose: The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of cancer screening education on individuals' knowledge levels regarding cancer screening and their rates of utilization of primary health care services.
Method: The research was conducted using a parallel group pretest-posttest experimental design. The study, conducted at a foundation university between April and May 2025, included 71 academics selected using simple random sampling. The intervention group received structured cancer screening education for four weeks. Data will be collected using a Personal Information Form and the Cancer Screening Knowledge Scale (CSKS), and will be analyzed using appropriate statistical methods.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention
Before the training began, baseline data were collected from participants in the intervention group, including a Personal Information Form, a Cancer Screening Awareness Questionnaire for Family Health Centers, and a Cancer Screening Knowledge Scale. Completing the baseline assessment took approximately 5-10 minutes. Subsequently, this group received a 15-minute face-to-face structured training session on cancer screening and the use of Family Health Centers. The post-test was administered two months after the training was completed.
干预措施: Cancer training (Behavioral)
control
No training was provided to participants in the control group. Participants in this group were only asked to complete a Personal Information Form at the beginning of the study, and final test data was collected at the end of the two months
结局指标
主要结局
Cancer knowledge level
时间窗: From baseline to 1 month post-training
Cancer knowledge level: The score obtained from the Cancer Screening Knowledge Scale (CSKS), which measures participants' knowledge about cancer screening methods, recommended screening intervals, and target populations. Higher scores indicate a greater level of knowledge, as defined by the study protocol.
Family health centre utilisation rate
时间窗: From baseline to 1 month post-training
Family health centre utilisation rate: The proportion of participants who report using services provided by a family health centre within a specified time frame. This includes visits for preventive care, screening, diagnosis, treatment, or follow-up services, as defined by the study protocol.
