Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the most common type of gynecologic cancer worldwide
affecting elderly women. Aim: to evaluate the impact of a HBM-based education about
endometrial cancer prevention on elderly women’s awareness and quality of life. Design: A
Quasi-experimental pre- post nonequivalent control group design was utilized. Sample: A
purposive sample of 60 elderly women with postmenopausal bleeding and not diagnosed
with endometrial cancer. Setting: the study was conducted at El-Galaa’ teaching hospital,
and El kasr El Ainy teaching hospital outpatient clinics. Study tools: 1- A structured
demographic data and medical history questionnaire, 2-An endometrial cancer prevention
awareness questionnaire (beliefs, knowledge& practices), 3- (WHOQOL-BREF)
questionnaire to assess elderly women’s QO. Results: the mean age of elderly was 65.87±3.
15. All elderly women had unsatisfactory knowledge and practice level related to
endometrial cancer prevention during pretest evaluation which was improved to satisfactory
in the study group after program implementation, a highly statistically significant difference
between total beliefs (perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, perceived barriers,
perceived benefits, cues to action) and the total QOL mean score of elderly women in the
study group in the pre, post, follow up test (P= 0.00). Conclusion: Elderly women
knowledge, awareness, beliefs and QOL improved after implementation of the HBM-based
prevention program than the results of the pretest. Recommendation: plan and implement
educational programs to increase awareness of women about endometrial cancer prevention
