Breast and Cervical Cancer Awareness Training in Visually Impaired Women
The Effect of Awareness Education on Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Among Visually Impaired Women
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 21 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This quasi-experimental study aims to determine whether a breast and cervical cancer awareness training program can increase participation in cancer screening among women with visual impairments. The study also aims to identify barriers to screening and improve knowledge about cancer risk factors and screening methods. The main questions this study will address are: * Does the training increase the rate at which women with visual impairments attend cancer screening appointments? * Does the training improve participants' knowledge about breast and cervical cancer? Participants will: * Receive training on breast and cervical cancer risk factors and screening methods. * Learn how to apply to the Cancer Early Diagnosis, Screening, and Training Center. * Be encouraged to attend cancer screening during the study period. * Have knowledge and screening status assessed before the training, immediately after, and three months later.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Have undergone screening for at least one of these two cancer types (breast or cervical) within the last year
- According to the Turkish Ministry of Health, General Directorate of Public Health, in current screenings conducted in our country, within the breast cancer screening program for women, mammography is recommended every two years for women aged 40-69, and within the cervical cancer screening program, Pap smear and HPV-DNA tests are recommended every five years for women aged 30-65. Since women will be referred by the researchers to KETEM centers after training to undergo mammography and Pap smear screening tests, visually impaired women over the age of 40 who have previously had sexual intercourse will be included in the study, as these two screening tests are performed in this common age group and Pap smear screening requires being sexually active.
