About this trial

The behaviour of healthcare demand procrastination constitutes an obstacle for individuals to lead a healthy life, and an example of this is the low participation rate of women in pap-smear screening programs compared to the target population. It is known that motivational interviews are frequently used and effective in studies planned to change health behavior. According to the results of the power analysis, at least 104 women, 52 experimental and 52 control, should be included in the study. Data will be collected with the "Personal Information Form", "Healthcare Demand Procrastination Scale", "Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test" and "Evaluation Form for Cervical Cancer Screening Participation". Motivational interviews will be given to the women in the experimental group.
