Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in the women and the primary
cause of mortality from cancer in developing countries. Aim: To investigate the effect of program
based on Health Belief Model (HBM) on women's knowledge and beliefs regarding cervical cancer
prevention. Study Design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized. Sampling: A convenient
sample of 200 working women from Mansoura University's various faculties, 80 from theoretical
faculties, 53 from practical faculties and 67 from medical faculties. Tools: For data collection, two
tools were used. Tool one was a structured self-administered questionnaire that assessed socio
demographic variables and cervical cancer knowledge. The Champion Health Beliefs Model scale
for cervical cancer was the second tool. Results: The results showed significant improvement post
intervention for all items of the HBM scale for cervical cancer. Conclusion: Women who
participated in the program based on a HBM exhibited greater knowledge and higher positive
belief scores regarding cervical cancer prevention after the program compared to before.
Recommendation: Raise women's awareness of cervical cancer prevention based on HBM.
