Background: Menopause is tightly linked to an elevated risk of endometrial cancer which
can be mitigated by utilizing the health beliefs model and promoting preventive health behaviors.
Aim: The research aimed to investigate the effect of an endometrial cancer preventive program on
menopausal women's health behaviors utilizing health beliefs model. Design: The reserach design
was quasi-experimental. Research setting: The current reseaech was carried out at administrative
building of Benha University Hospitals. Sample : In accordance with the inclusion criteria, a
purposive sample of 74 menopausal women was chosen and split equally into two groups, each
consisting of 37 menopausal women. Tools of data collection: Three tools were employed: tool (I)
a five-part structured interviewing questionnaire (personal characteristics, menstruation,
contraception, medical and family history, assessment of menopausal women's knowledge, tool (II)
health beliefs model scale and tool (III) health promotion lifestyle profile-II. Results: Following
program application, all items of knowledge, health beliefs, and behaviors related to endometrial
cancer prevention improved statistically significantly in the study group compared to the control
group (P ≤0.001). Additionally, before and after program application, there was a very statistically
significant positive correlation (P ≤ 0.001) between the overall scores of knowledge, health beliefs,
and health behaviors. Conclusion: Menopausal women's knowledge, health beliefs, and health
behaviors about endometrial cancer prevention were improved by a preventive program based on
the health beliefs model. Recommendation: Endometrial cancer prevention strategies should be
incorporated into current women's health programs at the primary care level to encourage early
identification and fair access to preventive services,
