Fatalism and fear perceptions of women on breast cancer screening were considered in a few studies. Objectives: The present study was conducted to determine the health beliefs, fears, and fatalism of Muslim Turkish women with regard to breast cancer screening. Methods: The study was designed as cross-sectional study and conducted in the "Quran Courses" being taught under the administration of the Turkish Directorate of Religious Affairs in a city in Turkey. Women from the participants of 23 Quran courses in the city were included in the sample group on the basis of simple random sampling. The sample group consisted of 339 women aged above 40 years. Data collected by personal information form, the Breast Cancer Fear Scale, the Breast Cancer Fatalism Scale, and the Health Belief Model Scale. We were calculated the data with percentage, mean, standard deviation, One-way ANOVA and t test. Before the study was conducted, the necessary permissions were received from the Ethics Committee, the relevant institution, and the individuals involved. Results: A significant relationship was determined between the educational levels of women and their degree of fatalism regarding breast cancer (t = 2.229, P = 0.027) as well as a familial history of breast cancer and their BSE self-efficacy perception (t =-2.311, P = 0.027). No significant statistical difference was determined between the socio-demographic characteristics of age, employment and marital status and respondents' health beliefs, fear, and fatalism. Conclusions: As a result of the study, regular BSE, CBE, and mammography rates were estimated at 5.3%, 9.7%, and 9.4%, respectively and no significant relationship was determined between the screening behaviors of women and their degree of fear and fatalism.

Incidence of breast cancer is reported as 38-40 per hundred thousand in the World and 40 per hundred thousand in Turkey and its age of incidence becomes increasingly lower (1). Early diagnosis methods such as Mammography, Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) and Breast Self-Exam (BSE) are used for the early diagnosis and successful treatment of breast cancer and making the lifetime longer (2, 3). BSE is a simple practice without cost and which can be made at a short time. Today, the prevailing view is that BSE has limited effect in reducing the mortality of breast cancer. However, the authorities of breast health include BSE in screening guides because women know their own breast tissue, they often find the bulk themselves first, they are responsible of their own health and they adopt preventive healthcare behaviour (3, 4-6). Moreover, when it is considered that mammography, which is accepted as the gold standard in the diagnosis of breast cancer, is not used in young women, BSE becomes more important. When the socio-economical facts are also considered especially in developing countries with middle income such as Turkey, BSE is regarded as an indisputable practice (5, 7). Although BSE is recommended in the early diagnosis of breast cancer, it was shown that BSE was made irregularly or never made in the studies conducted on women of all age groups and students (2, 8-14). Researches indicate the importance of education in increasing the rate of BSE (10, 11, 15-18). However, it is reported that even the educated student nurses do not make BSE at a sufficient level and the number of them who make BSE irregularly or who never make it is high (19, 20). Women avoid having CBE, do not want to see a doctor and they delay it because of being ashamed in Islamic countries like Turkey (20).

The semi-experimental type of study was carried out between January 01 and July 30, 2020, with first-year midwifery students (N=84) who received clinical skills training for the first time in the Midwifery Department of a University in the Middle Black Sea region. The sample of the study consisted of students (n=69) who had not received any professional skill training before and agreed to participate in the study. Ethics committee and institutional permissions were obtained for the study. The data were obtained by "Student Identification Form, State-Trait Anxiety Scale" and "Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale", which measures students' satisfaction with simulation education. The academic achievements of the students were evaluated in the laboratory by taking the process step tables and the midterm and final written exam and taking their success averages. Of the students, 87% stated that simulation training will improve their communication skills, 79.4% said that it will improve their critical thinking and decision-making skills, 85.5% claimed that it will improve their professional practice skills, 92.8% remarked that it will improve their professional responsibilities, 88.4 % said it will increase their adoption to their profession, % 82.4 stated that it would help reduce their anxiety in the first clinical application. In the study, it was determined that there was no significant relationship between state and trait anxiety and academic achievement. In the second and third measurements of the education given by simulation, it is seen that while the student satisfaction and self-confidence towards learning increase, academic success is expected to increase, but there is no significant relationship between them. However, the same result could not be obtained in the measurement made during the final exam. The education model provided with simulators in a skill laboratory environment made a difference between students' satisfaction and selfconfidence in learning, their satisfaction levels increased, but no linear relationship was found between academic achievement and satisfaction. The education given did not cause a significant change in the state anxiety and trait anxiety levels of the students.

Yöntem: Bu çalışma, tanımlayıcı, ilişki arayıcı tiptedir. Araştırmanın evrenini Kadın Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları dersini alan 3. ve 4. sınıf ebelik bölümü öğrencileri ve öğrencilerin anneleri oluşturmuştur. Örneklemini ise evreni %90 güven aralığı ve ±5 yanılma payı ile 164 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma gönüllü olarak katılmayı kabul eden 93 öğrenci ile 93 anne olmak üzere 186 kişi ile tamamlanmıştır. Veriler online olarak öğrencilere ve annelere yönelik olarak ayrı ayrı hazırlanan Kişisel Bilgi Formu I ve Kişisel Bilgi Formu II, Meme Kanseri Korkusu Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 22,0 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21.80±1.09 yıl, %54.8'i ebelik bölümü 3. sınıfta öğrenim görmektedir. Annelerin yaş ortalaması 48.59±5.69 yıldır, %60.2'si ilkokul mezunu, %91.4'ü evlidir. Çalışmada annelerin ölçekten aldığı puan ortalaması 25.75±7.28, öğrencilerin ölçekten aldığı puan ortalaması 25.00±7.491'dir. Öğrencilerin meme kanseri korkusu ölçeğinden aldıkları puan ile kendi kendine meme muayenesi yapma zamanı arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur (p<0.05, F=2.770). Sonuçlar: Annelerin ve öğrencilerin ölçekten aldıkları puan değerlendirildiğinde yüksek derecede meme kanseri korkusuna sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir.
