Özet:

 Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship of womens breast cancer fatalism perceptions with health beliefs and early diagnosis behaviors. Method: This descriptive and relational design study was conducted with 400 women. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Breast Cancer Health Belief Model Scale, and the Breast Cancer Fatalism Scale. Results: Women who had high Breast Cancer Fatalism Scale mean scores were found to have low levels of breast self-exam BSE and clinical breast exam p .05. While a negative relationship was detected between health motivation, BSE benefits, BSE self-efficacy, and mammography benefits sub-scale scores of the Breast Cancer Health Belief Model Scale, a positive relationship was detected between susceptibility, seriousness, BSE barriers, and mammography barriers sub-scales and Breast Cancer Fatalism Scale scores. Conclusion: As a result, a negative relationship was found between womens breast cancer fatalism, health beliefs and early diagnosis behaviors. It is recommended that health professionals evaluate individuals health beliefs and breast cancer fatalism perception level and take these factors into account in their education planning in order to increase womens screening behavior.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma kadınlarda meme kanseri kadercilik algısının sağlık inançları ve erken tanı davranışları ile ilişkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişkisel tasarımlı bu çalışma 400 kadınla yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın verileri Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu, Meme Kanseri Sağlık İnanç Modeli Ölçeği ve Meme Kanseri Kadercilik Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Meme Kanseri Kadercilik Ölçeği puan ortalaması yüksek olan kadınların KKMM yapma ve KMM yaptırma oranlarının düşük olduğu saptanmıştır p .05. Kadınların Meme Kanseri SİM Ölçeği alt boyutlarından; sağlık motivasyonu, KKMM yararları, KKMM öz-etkililiği ve mamografi yararları alt boyutları ile Meme Kanseri Kadercilik Ölçeği puanları arasında negatif yönde bir ilişki olduğu saptanırken duyarlılık, ciddiyet, KKMM engelleri ve mamografi engelleri alt boyutları ile Meme Kanseri Kadercilik Ölçeği puanları arasında pozitif yönde bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak kadınların meme kanseri kaderciliği, sağlık inançları ve erken tanı davranışları arasında negatif yönde bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Sağlık profesyonellerinin bireylerin sağlık inançlarını ve meme kanseri kadercilik algı düzeyini değerlendirmeleri ve kadınların tarama davranışlarını artırmak için eğitim planlamalarında bu faktörleri dikkate almaları önerilir.
