dc.description.abstractObjective: This study aimed to assess gynecological cancer awareness and healthy lifestyle levels among women in Türkiye.Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional design was applied with 656 women from various Turkish regions. Data were collectedusing a sociodemographic form, the Gynecological Cancer Awareness Scale, and the Healthy Lifestyle Screening Scale.Results: The median gynecological cancer awareness score was 147.00, and the median healthy lifestyle score was 95.00. A positive,significant correlation was found between awareness and healthy lifestyle scores (r s = 0.359; p < 0.001). Awareness differedsignificantly by education, employment, motherhood, gynecological examination and Pap smear frequency, cancer knowledge,fear of cancer, and age (p < 0.05). Healthy lifestyle scores were significantly related to income, smoking, perceived health, andregular exercise (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Women generally demonstrated above-average gynecological cancer awareness, and higher awareness was linkedto healthier lifestyles. Overall, 1.2% had a very low, 14.6% low, 75.9% good, and 8.3% very good healthy lifestyle level. These findingssuggest that nurses should implement educational and counseling programs to enhance women’s gynecological cancer awarenessand promote healthy lifestyle behaviors.
