Abstract
This research was carried out to determine the relationship between nurses' breast cancer fear levels, breast cancer prevention behaviors, and early diagnosis application behaviors. It was conducted with 177 nurses working in the surgical clinics of a university hospital between 15 May and 15 June 2022. In addition to questions about nurses' characteristics, Breast Cancer Fear Scale (IDFS), Affecting Factors Scale and Breast Cancer Prevention Behaviors Scale (FABCP) were used. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyzes were performed. The P value smaller than 0.05 was used to indicate statistical significance. Breast cancer fear levels of nurses; are high, and protective and behavioral BSE and mammography/USG application levels are quite high except for clinical breast examination.
