This quantitative-descriptive study was conducted between December 2020 and February 2021, and the sample of the study consisted of 202 women working in a private seedling company in the Mediterranean Region. The percentage, frequency, One-Way ANOVA, and Independent Samples t-test analysis were employed in the evaluation. Descriptive Characteristics Form, Breast Cancer Anxiety Scale, and Breast Cancer Prevention Behaviors Scale were data collection forms in the study. Of the women, 17.3 had a family history of cancer, 79.7 had no health checks, 7.9 applied self-breast examination, 9.9 had a clinical breast examination, and 8.4 had mammography examinations. The participant womens Breast Cancer Anxiety Scale total score average was 14.882.37. The score distributions of female workers from the Breast Cancer Prevention Behavior Scale revealed that marital status, history of cancer in the family, and self-breast examination were statistically significant.

 Bu araştırma mevsimlik tarım işçisi kadınların meme kanseri endişe düzeylerinin, meme kanserini önleme davranışlarına etkisinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Nicel-tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma Aralık 2020-Şubat 2021 tarihleri arasında yapılmış olup, araştırmanın örneklemini Akdeniz Bölgesindeki özel bir fide şirketinde görev yapan 202 kadın oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin değerlendirmesinde yüzde, frekans, One-Way ANOVA, Indenpendent Samples t-test analizi kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama formu olarak; tanımlayıcı özellikler formu, meme kanseri endişe ölçeği ve meme kanseri önleme davranışları ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Kadınların 17,3ünün ailesinde kanser öyküsü olduğu, 79,7sinin sağlık kontrollerine başvurmadığı, 7,9unun kendi kendine meme muayenesi yaptığı, 9,9unun klinik meme muayenesi yaptırdığı, 8,4ünün mamografi çektirdiği saptanmıştır. Kadınların meme kanseri endişe ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 14,882,37 olarak belirlenmiştir. Kadın işçilerin meme kanseri önleme davranışları ölçeğinden aldıkları puan dağılımları incelendiğinde; medeni durum, ailede kanser varlığı ve kendi kendine meme muayenesi yapma durumları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı çıkmıştır. Ayrıca kadın işçilerin meme kanseri önleme davranışları ölçeği alt boyutu toplam puan ortalaması 103,776,64 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmamıza katılan kadınların yüksek düzeyde meme kanseri endişesi yaşadığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca kullanılan ölçekler bazında meme kanseri endişe düzeyinin, kadınların meme kanserini önleme davranışları üzerinde etkili olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Bulgular koruyucu sağlık hizmetleri bakımından önem arz etmekte olup kadınlarda meme kanserini önlemeye yönelik davranışların geliştirilmesi için farkındalık ve eğitim çalışmalarının arttırılması önerilebilir.
