Özet:

 Aim: To assess the impact of peer education on university students self-breast examination BSE practices and their health beliefs. Materials and Method: A single-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study was conducted. The study population comprised 560 first and second-year nursing students enrolled at Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Nursing. Data collection instruments included a Descriptive Information Form, Champions Health Belief Model Scale HBM, and a breast HBMulation model. Peer educators received five weeks of theoretical and practical training facilitated by the Peer educators have had their peers fill out data collection forms, explained self-breast examination using a breast HBMulation model, and sent reminder videos and brochures online twice a week. Post-tests were administered to students six weeks after the training. Dependent groups t-test and McNemar tests were used in the data analysis. Results: Upon comparing students BSE performance before and after training, a statistically significant difference was observed p0.001. However, there was no statistically significant difference in participants perceptions of the sensitivity and seriousness of HBM before and after BSE training p  0.05. In contrast, there was a statistically significant difference in university students perceptions of HBM related to motivation, perceived benefits, obstacles, and self-efficacy before and after the training p  0.005. Conclusion: Peer education had a positive effect on students ability to conduct breast self-examinations. Moreover, students health beliefs regarding motivation, perceived benefits, obstacles, and self-efficacy related to breast self-examination improved following the training and peer education to enhance both BSE practices and health beliefs among university nursing students.

 Amaç: Akran eğitiminin üniversite öğrencilerinin kendi kendine meme muayenesi yapma durumlarına ve sağlık inançlarına etkisinin belirlenmesidir. Yöntem ve Gereçler: Tek gruplu ön test-son test yarı deneysel bir araştırmadır. Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Hemşirelik Fakültesinde birinci ve ikinci sınıfta öğrenim gören hemşirelik öğrencileri 560 çalışmanın evrenini oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin toplanmasında, Tanımlayıcı Bilgi Formu, Championun Sağlık İnanç Modeli Ölçeği SİM ve meme HBMülasyon maketi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmacı tarafından akran eğitimcilere beş hafta süren teorik ve pratik eğitim verilmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesine bağımlı gruplarda t test ve Mc nemar testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin eğitimden önce ve sonra KKMM yapma durumları karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur Mc nemar: 74.112, p0.000. Katılımcıların KKMM eğitimden önce ve sonra SİM duyarlılık, ciddiyet algılarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır p0.05. Fakat üniversite öğrencilerinin eğitimden önce ve sonra SİM motivasyon, yarar, engel ve öz-etkililik algılarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmıştır p.005. Sonuç: Öğrencilerin akran eğitimi ile kendi kendine meme muayenesi yapma durumları eğitim öncesine göre artmıştır ve kendi kendine meme muayenesine yönelik sağlık inançlarından motivasyon, yarar, engel ve özetkililik algısında da da eğitim öncesine göre artış saptanmıştır.
