Abstract

The health belief model served as the foundation for the study to determine the factors that most affect women’s decisions to receive a breast cancer screening that examined how study participants changed after receiving a multimedia health education intervention. After that, we could create a plan to advance women’s rights for the upcoming breast cancer mammograms. Following the multimedia health education intervention, the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher scores in perceived vulnerability, perceived seriousness, perceived advantages, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy compared to the control group. We believe that multimedia health education is a more effective approach than traditional methods for raising awareness about breast cancer. Through engaging visual and interactive content, multimedia education has the potential to reach a broader audience and is more likely to motivate women to undergo regular breast cancer screenings. By delivering information in a dynamic and accessible format, it addresses barriers to understanding and encourages proactive health behaviors. Breast cancer, apart from skin cancer, is the most prevalent cancer among women globally. If left unchecked, it can spread to other parts of the body, highlighting the importance of early detection in improving outcomes and avoiding complications. Raising awareness and providing education are key to encouraging more women to detect breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages.
