Abstract
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of an education based on health promotion model on healthy lifestyle behaviors and breast cancer fatalism perceptions in women preachers. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study with one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample of the study consisted of 138 women preachers. Results: A statistically significant difference was found between the women pre and post-test healthy lifestyle behaviors scale mean scores (t=-4.891, p=.000), but there was no statistically significant difference between their pre and post-test breast cancer fatalism scale mean scores (t=1.633, p=.105). Conclusion: The education based on health promotion model was effective in making women preachers gain healthy lifestyle behaviors, and decreased their perception of breast cancer fatalism. Therefore, it is recommended to ensure the continuity of this education, and to develop and implement relevant training programs at certain intervals.
