About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the effect of a Health Belief Model-based educational intervention on women's knowledge of cervical cancer and their attitudes and beliefs toward HPV vaccination. The study will be conducted among women aged 18-49 years attending a primary health care center in Van, Turkey. Participants will be assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive a structured, face-to-face educational program, while the control group will receive routine care. Data will be collected using validated questionnaires before and after the intervention. The findings are expected to contribute to improving preventive health behaviors and increasing HPV vaccination awareness among women.
