- Abstract
Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between fear of breast cancer, risk factors, and early diagnosis behavior of women aged 20 or above. Method: It is a descriptive cross‐sectional study. Findings: It was found that 17.3% of the women conducted breast self‐examination, 14.0% underwent clinical breast examination, and that 9.3% of them underwent mammography. The predictors regularly affecting early diagnosis behaviors were identified through logistic regression. Different predictors for breast cancer diagnostic behaviors were found in each age group. Practice Implications: This study is important in terms of taking into account the age factor in the practices aiming to increase the diagnostic behavior of healthcare personnel, especially nurses. Conclusion: It was concluded that there were different predictors of breast cancer diagnostic behaviors in both age groups of the women in the study.
