Masking: Single (Participant)

Intervention:

Intervention type: Behavioral
Intervention name: Nurse Navigation Program
Description: It is planned to provide "Cervical Cancer Education and Counseling" to women in the experimental group about cervical cancer. Training and counseling is planned to be implemented face to face. An information booklet will be given to the experimental group. After 30 and 60 days after the training and counseling given to the experimental and control groups, it was planned to provide online (WhatApp) training and counseling to the patients in the experimental group: Participants will be given a contact number that they can reach during the day when they want to receive counseling about HPV-DNA or Pap smear. Interviews will be scheduled between 08.00-20.00. Individuals who are not screened will receive a reminder message by phone on the 45th and 75th day. Transtheoretical Model In the study, interventions will be planned for the experimental group according to the stages of the transtheoretical model. The researcher will conduct motivational interviews with the individuals.

Summary: This study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to examine the effect of the 'Nurse Navigation Program' on cervical cancer screening behaviors (Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) DNA screening test and/or pap smear test) and health beliefs about cervical cancer screening in women aged 30-65 years.

Detailed description: An important step in the fight against cervical cancer is access to early diagnosis, early screening culture and the creation of screening opportunities. Problems in access to health services, barriers and cultural reasons play an important role in participation in cervical cancer screening. Nurse The Navigation Program is important to help individuals overcome and cope with these barriers. There are international studies showing the positive effect of the nurse navigation program on cervical cancer screening behaviors. However, it is thought that this study will contribute to the literature because the number of studies on this subject is not sufficient and no research is found in national sources. It is aimed to contribute to overcoming the problems and obstacles in front of the patients' access to cervical cancer screening with the Nurse Navigation Program application developed based on the Transtheoretical Model to the experimental group and to provide evidence for the nurse navigation program application to be a method used in the cervical cancer screening process. The population of the study will consist of female members of Non-Governmental Organizations in the 30-65 age group. The data of the study will be collected between September 13, 2024 and February 15, 2025 after ethics committee approval and institutional permission. The design of the study is a randomized controlled experimental study. The data will be collected using the Individual Descriptive Information Form, Information Questions on Reproductive Health and Sexual Life, Questions on Cervical Cancer and Screening, Questions on HPV Knowledge, Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test Health Belief Model Scale. The statistical data obtained as a result of the research will be analyzed using the SPSS package program. It is expected that the rate of having HPV-DNA test and Pap smear test is higher in the experimental group in which the nurse navigation program is applied compared to the control group in which the intervention is not applied, and the mean score of benefit perception of cervical cancer screening behaviors (HPV DNA and/or Pap smear) is expected to be significantly different in the group in which the nurse navigation program is applied compared to the group in which it is not applied.
