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,
can be mitigated by utilizing the health beliefs model and promoting preventive health behaviors.
