“…[ 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ] Few related studies have also been conducted in Iran, which have been generally limited to the preparation of educational electronic content. [ 21 ] However, no study has hitherto been conducted regarding the design of a comprehensive virtual program based on the needs of women that, while having appropriate educational content, provide these women with motivational discussions to improve their behaviors with regard to the prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer and guide them gradually and effectively. Accordingly, the need to educate women about breast cancer prevention at younger ages and in more advanced stages of the disease, the public interest in virtual education platforms in current conditions, the development of new communication technologies and the availability of various virtual education facilities and platforms, and the lack of resources and manpower in health centers for providing the necessary education related to breast cancer prevention prompted the researchers to design a self-directed program based on modern virtual education methods and the culture and needs of women in Iranian society to prevent breast cancer in them.…”

BACKGROUND: The growing number of breast cancer patients in Iran, following the lower referrals of women to screening centers after the outbreak of the COVID-19, suggests the need for designing virtual educational interventions to teach self-care methods to women. The aim of this study is to design a virtual training program for the prevention of breast cancer in women based on the steps of the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) educational design model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This developmental study will be conducted based on the steps of the ADDIE model. In the first step (analysis), a qualitative study, literature review, and a panel of experts will be conducted to analyze the situation (learners, content, platforms, and media for the electronic presentation of the program). In the design step, the learning objectives, educational strategies, and the way of program’s implementation and evaluation will be specified. In the third step, not only are the content, storyboard, and educational program developed, but the pilot study is also conducted and formative assessment is performed. In the fourth step, the program will be provided to the audience and will be implemented as a preliminary program. In the final step, the final virtual education program for the prevention of breast cancer in women will be presented based on the results of the evaluation. CONCLUSIONS: Using a comprehensive and systematic educational design model can be a step toward making changes and encouraging innovations in breast cancer prevention education programs in women based on virtual education. Given the existing needs and conditions, this program can promote cancer preventive behaviors as much as possible, reduce the costs imposed on the family and healthcare systems, and lower the complications and mortality rate caused by the delayed diagnosis of the disease.

Background Breast cancer prevention is a globally significant and cost-effective public health priority, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Empowering women through improved health literacy is a key strategy for reducing the disease burden. However, effective educational programs must be tailored to the specific cultural context and needs of the target community. This study explored the educational needs of Iranian women for a virtual breast cancer prevention program. Methods A descriptive qualitative design was used from January to July 2022. Purposive sampling with maximum variation was utilized to recruit a sample of 28 participants. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews. Following the method outlined by Graneheim and Lundman, qualitative content analysis was employed to analyze the interview data. MAXQDA 2020 software was used for data analysis. Components of trustworthiness, including credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability, were considered. Results Our findings identified three primary categories: “developing women’s scientific, practical, and attitudinal capabilities”; “features of program content”; and “principles of electronic content design”. These results offer valuable insights into the educational needs of Iranian women for virtual breast cancer prevention programs. Conclusions To design an effective virtual program, it is crucial to address all three domains: cognitive, emotional, and psychomotor. Program content should be organized and presented using methods that sensitize women to the importance of breast cancer prevention and motivate them to participate. Furthermore, the program’s design should be grounded in evidence-based practices and principles of electronic content design, ensuring cultural sensitivity to the needs of Iranian women.
