Title

Effects of Education via WhatsApp vs Compact Disk on Health Literacy and Behavior of Middle-Aged Women about Screening Methods of Breast Cancer

Pages

  12-22

Abstract

 Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of delivering education via WhatsApp vs a compact disc on Health Literacy and behavior of Middle-Aged Women about Breast Cancer. Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial in which 154 middleaged (40-59 years) women were recruited and randomly assigned into two groups of education (WhatsApp and compact disc [CD]). The CD training group was given a CD containing information, videos, and images about Breast Cancer Screening Methods. Women in the WhatsApp group received the same information on a daily basis for two weeks. The participants completed the Health Literacy Questionnaire (BCHL) before the intervention and after three months. The independent t test, the chi-square test, and the Wilcoxon test were used for analyzing the data. Results: The total score of Health Literacy was improved significantly in both groups after the intervention (from 79. 1 ± 18. 6 at baseline to 94. 7 ± 11. 9 in the CD group, and from 75. 6 ± 17. 7 to 85. 5 ± 17 in the WhatsApp group; P < 0. 0001). The improvement was observed in all domains of Breast Cancer Health Literacy including accessibility, reading, understanding, assessment, and decision making. Although using breast self-examination improved significantly in the two groups, there was little improvement in using clinical breast examination and mammography. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that education could significantly improve the Health Literacy as well as the behavior of Middle-Aged Women about Breast Cancer, but the comparison of the effects of the two methods showed a greater effect for education via CD.
