Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinde akran eğitimi ile jinekolojik kanser farkındalığı oluşturmak ve davranış değişikliği gerçekleştirmektir. Yöntem: Araştırma yarı deneysel bir çalışmadır. Akran eğitimcileri tarafından toplamda 90 üniversite öğrencisine ulaşılmıştır. Akran eğitimcileri, akranlarına eğitim öncesi sosyo-demografik ve davranış değişikliklerini belirleyen soru formu ve JİKFÖ’yü, eğitimden bir hafta ve bir ay sonra tekrar JİKFÖ’yü ve davranış değişikliği soru formunu uygulamışlardır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 25 yazılım programı kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Eğitim öncesi ve eğitimden bir hafta sonrası ile; eğitimden bir hafta ve bir ay sonrası değerlendirmelerde t testi kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p<0.05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Akran eğitimcilerinden eğitim alan öğrencilerin eğitim öncesi JİKFÖ puan ortalamalarının 151,17+ 18,54 ve eğitimden bir hafta sonrası JİKFÖ puan ortalamalarının ise 180,77+16,66 olduğu görülmektedir. Yapılan analizde öğrencilerin, eğitim öncesi ve eğitimden 1 hafta sonrası JİKFÖ puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur(t: -11,975, p=0.00, p <0.05). Öğrencilerin eğitimden 1 ay sonra JİKFÖ puan ortalamaları 179.14+20.96 olup, eğitimden bir hafta sonrası ile bir ay sonrası arasındaki JİKFÖ puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır (t:,796, sig: ,428). Sonuç: Yapılan değerlendirmede öğrencilerin JİKFÖ’den aldıkları puanlarını korudukları ve öğrencilerde davranış değişikliğinin meydana geldiği saptanmıştır.
