The topics of the training sessions include understanding cervical cancer, the importance of screening and self-care in prevention, addressing social misconceptions and dispelling taboos about cervical cancer. In this study, visual educational technologies such as films, photos, visual handouts, and interactive exercises will be utilized to allow participants to share their experiences and knowledge and learn from others through observation. The visual validity of the educational materials will be determined through a review by a ten-member panel consisting of experts such as doctors, nurses, health educators, and patients. The training sessions will be conducted by a health specialist at comprehensive health service centers. Each session is expected to last an average of 50-60 minutes, with a maximum of 15 participants in each group. At the beginning of the study, control group patients will receive four consecutive educational sessions over four days, followed by a one-hour session every three months until the end of the study for follow-up and reinforcement of preventive behaviors.
