Özet:

 Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between womens fatalistic tendencies and their fear of breast cancer and breast cancer screening beliefs. Methods: This cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted in the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinics of a hospital between February and July 2024. The study included the participation of 419 women. The research data were collected using the individual information form, Champion Breast Cancer Fear Scale, Breast Cancer Screening Beliefs Scale, and Fatalism Tendency Scale. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean age of the women participating in the study was 35.3110.70 years. Of women, 52.7 know how to do breast self-examination. However, 52 of the women do not perform breast self-examination. The rate of women who had a clinical breast examination in the last five years was 17.2, and the rate of women who had a mammogram was 16.7. The study found a positive, low-level, and significant correlation between fatalism and fear of breast cancerp0.05. A negative and low-level significant correlation was found between fatalism and breast cancer screening beliefs total and sub-dimension mean scores p0.05. Regression analysis results showed that fatalism has a significant and positive effect on fear of breast cancer and a significant and negative impact on breast cancer screening beliefs p0.05. Conclusion: Research results showed that as fatalism increases, fear of breast cancer increases, and breast cancer screening beliefs are negatively affected.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı kadınların kadercilik eğilimleri ile meme kanseri korkusu ve meme kanseri tarama inançları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Yöntem: Kesitsel ve ilişki arayıcı tipteki bu çalışma Şubat-Temmuz 2024 tarihleri arasında bir hastanenin doğum ve kadın hastalıkları polikliniklerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya 419 kadın katılmıştır. Araştırma verileri kişisel bilgi formu, Champion Meme Kanseri Korku Ölçeği, Meme Kanseri Tarama İnançları Ölçeği ve Kadercilik Eğilimi Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Pearson korelasyon analizi ve doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan kadınların yaş ortalamaları 35.3110.70dir. Kadınların 52.7i kendi kendine meme muayenesinin nasıl yapıldığını bilmektedir. Ancak kadınların 52si kendine meme muayenesi yapmamaktadır. Son beş yıl içerisinde klinik meme muayenesi yaptıran kadın oranı 17.2, mamografi yaptıran kadın oranı ise 16.7dir. Araştırmada kadercilik eğilimi ile meme kanseri korkusu arasında pozitif yönde, düşük düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır p0.05. Kadercilik eğilimi ile meme kanseri tarama inançları toplam ve alt boyut puan ortalamaları arasında ise negatif yönde, düşük düzeyde anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur p0.05. Regresyon analizi sonuçları kadercilik eğiliminin meme kanseri korkusu üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif yönde bir etkisinin olduğunu, meme kanseri tarama inançları üzerinde ise anlamlı ve negatif yönde etkisinin olduğunu göstermiştir p0.05. Sonuç: Araştırma sonuçları kadercilik eğilimi arttıkça meme kanseri korkusunun arttığını, meme kanseri tarama inançlarının ise olumsuz yönde etkilendiğini göstermiştir.
