Effect of Health Belief Model-Based Education on Cervical Cancer Knowledge and HPV Vaccine Attitudes in Women

This study evaluated the effect of a Health Belief Model-based educational intervention on women's knowledge of cervical cancer and their attitudes and beliefs toward HPV vaccination. The study was conducted among women aged 18-49 years attending a primary health care center in Van, Türkiye. Participants were assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group received a structured, face-to-face educational program, while the control group received routine care. Data were collected using validated questionnaires before and after the intervention. The findings contributed to a better understanding of strategies to improve preventive health behaviors and increase HPV vaccination awareness among women.
