Summary
This study tested whether face-to-face or online training about cancer screening could improve women's knowledge, attitudes, and shyness levels. Sixty-eight women aged 50-65 who were literate and owned a smartphone took part. Researchers used a booklet to teach about screening for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers, then measured changes with questionnaires. The goal was to see if education can help women feel more confident about getting screened.
