Summary

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of health education given to female teachers on HPV knowledge and screening test. The population of the study consisted of all female teachers belonging to the Bucak Directorate of National Education between September 2021 and March 2022. The sample of the study consisted of 144 healthy female teachers who were registered in the institutions affiliated to the District Directorate of National Education between the specified dates, met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to participate in the study. In this study area, with the assumption that the rate of cervical cancer screening test of 70% of the women in the Healthy Life Centre after the trainings would be considered significant, the effect size d=0.18 was calculated to include at least 98 women in 3 groups at 95% power and 0.05 error level. The calculation was performed with the 'G Power 3.1.9.2' package programme. In this context, the total sample of the study was determined as 156 participants, 52 in each group.
