Clinical Trial Summary
The European Code Against Cancer contains 12 recommendations to reduce the risk of cancer. It
is estimated that about half of all cancers could be prevented if all recommendations are
followed.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Program of Health Behaviour
Against Cancer (PHeBAC) applied to mothers of children with intellectual disabilities in
increasing the participation of mothers and their children with intellectual disabilities in
cancer screenings and their health behaviors against cancer. The goal is to improve the
preventive health behaviors of children with intellectual disabilities and their mothers
against cancer and to increase the rate of participation in cancer screenings. Specific
targets are; not smoking and not being exposed to smoking, increasing physical activity,
healthy nutrition, limiting alcohol consumption, protection from sunlight, HPV vaccination
and increasing participation in breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screenings.
Description:
Intervention Group: Program of Health Behaviour Against Cancer (PHeBAC): PHeBAC is an 8-week
program consisting of five interviews, two face-to-face and three by telephone.
Face-to-face training will be provided in two different sessions of 45 minutes each in the
first and 4th weeks, and telephone interviews of 15 minutes each in the 2nd, 6th and 8th
weeks.
Each planned intervention will be organized by taking the opinions of experts working in this
field. In addition, expert opinions will be taken for the content of the presentation of
face-to-face individual trainings to the intervention group.
The pre-tests of the study will be collected just before the training in week 0 and the
post-tests will be collected in week 9. Data collection forms will be filled in by the
participants under the supervision of the researcher.
Intervention to be applied to the Control Group: Participants in the active control group
will be invited for a face-to-face interview and the pretests will be completed by the
participants under the supervision of the researcher. After the pre-tests are taken, the
participants will be informed about the brochure of the Ministry of Health, which includes
cancer prevention recommendations and cancer screening recommendations, and the content of
the brochure. The contact information of the researchers will be given and they will be told
that they can call if they have any questions. The post-tests will be completed in the ninth
week. Data collection forms will be completed by the participants under the supervision of
the researcher.
The data of the study will be evaluated using "the Health Behaviors and Participation in
Cancer Screenings Data Collection Form developed by the researchers", "Healthy Lifestyle
Behaviors Scale II-Physical Activity and Nutrition Sub-Factors", "Sun Protection Behavior
Scale". IBM SPSS 23 and Gpower programs will be used for statistical analysis of the data
obtained from the study. The distribution of the data will be evaluated with Skewness and
Kurtosis. For continuous data showing normal distribution, t test in two dependent groups,
Student t test in two independent groups, One-way ANOVA test will be performed. For
categorical data, McNemar test in two dependent groups and chi-square test in two independent
groups will be performed.
