| dc.description.abstract | This research aimed to investigate the relationship between women's level of knowledge about cancer screenings and health literacy. The research involved a descriptive study design and included 418 women, aged between 18 and 65, who registered at two different Family Health Centers in a provincial center in eastern Türkiye. The research utilized three separate forms to collect the study data: the \"Descriptive Features Form,\" the \"Knowledge Scale for Cancer Screenings,\" and the \"Health Literacy Scale-Short Form.\" The research found the average age of the participants to be 41.88±12.91. In addition, a low level positive relationship was found between the knowledge scale and its sub-dimensions regarding cancer screenings and the health literacy scale (respectively, p<0.05, p<0.001). The research identified a slightly positive relationship between women's knowledge about cancer screenings and health literacy. It also concluded that some sociodemographic characteristics were effective factors in women's cancer screening knowledge and health literacy. | |
