Özet:

 Aim: This study aimed to determine the breast cancer risk levels of women aged 20-69 and their health beliefs regarding breast cancer screening methods. Methods: The study included 375 women registered at a Family Health Center in the Büyükçekmece district of Istanbul. This descriptive and cross-sectional study data were collected using the Patient Identification Form, Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Form, and Champions Health Belief Model Scale. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 22.0 statistical software. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentages, arithmetic mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the variables. Results: The study average age of the women was 40.5810.22 years. The breast cancer risk level was moderate 201.45104.98 among women aged 51 and above. A statistically significant relationship was found between breast cancer risk level and factors such as body mass index, educational status, and history of mammography p0,05. According to the health belief model, women with a high perception of susceptibility were more likely to utilize screening methods p0,05. However, working women and those with higher educational levels were found to have lower susceptibility perceptions p0,05. Conclusion: To increase the utilization of breast cancer screening methods, it is recommended to provide adequate time and appropriate environments, especially for working women, and to improve womens health beliefs.

 Amac: Bu araştırma, 20-69 yaş aralığındaki kadınların meme kanseri risk düzeylerinin ve meme kanseri tarama yöntemlerine yönelik sağlık inançlarının belirlenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirildi. Yontem: Araştırmaya İstanbul ili Büyükçekmece ilçesinde bulunan bir Aile Sağlığı Merkezinde kayıtlı 375 kadın dahil edildi. Tanımlayıcı-kesitsel nitelikteki bu araştırmanın verileri; Hasta Tanılama Formu, Meme Kanseri Risk Değerlendirme Formu ve Championun Sağlık İnanç Modeli Ölçeği kullanılarak elde edildi. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 22.0 istatistik programı kullanıldı. Değişkenlerin çözümlenmesinde frekans, yüzde, ortalama ve standart sapma gibi tanımlayıcı istatistiklerden yararlanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırmada kadınların yaş ortalaması 40,5810,22 yıldı. Meme kanseri risk düzeyi 51 yaş ve üzeri olan kadınlarda orta 201,45104,98 düzeyde bulundu. Beden kitle indeksi, eğitim durumu ve mamografi çektirme öyküsü ile meme kanseri risk düzeyi arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir ilişki saptandı p0,05. Sağlık inanç modeline göre duyarlılık algısı yüksek olan kadınlarda sağlık tarama yöntemleri kullanım durumunun yüksek olduğu belirlendi p0,05. Çalışan ya da eğitim düzeyi yüksek olan kadınlarda ise duyarlılık algısı düşük bulundu p0,05. Sonuc: Meme kanseri tarama yöntemlerinin kullanımının artırılabilmesi için özellikle çalışan kadınlara yeterli zaman ve uygun ortamın sağlanması ve kadınların sağlık inançlarının iyileştirilmesi önerilmektedir.
