The Effect of Web-Based Breast Self-Examination Education

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women. Reasons such as diagnosing breast cancer at an early stage increases the chances of treatment and survival, and the fact that the masses are largely noticed by the individual themselves, point to the importance of breast self-examination (BSE) . BSE skill is among the nursing skills. When the literature was examined, it was seen that the web-based education method was frequently used for cognitive skills during nursing education, but its use was limited for psychomotor skills training. It was determined that in BSE training, in addition to traditional education, methods such as concept maps and peer-supported education were used, but web-based education methods were not used. It is thought that the study will contribute to the literature in these aspects.
