Objectives: This is an explanatory correlational study to identify the relationship among knowledge, attitudes about cancer, self efficacy and health behavior for cancer prevention in school-age children.
Methods: Data were collected from 488 students in grades 5 or 6 who understood the purpose of the study and agreed to participate. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression using SPSS 18.0.
Results: There were significant differences in health behavior for cancer prevention between upper 25% and lower 25% group of attitudes about cancer and self efficacy. Result from the multiple regression analysis revealed difference in the related factors and in the magnitude of the relationship evaluated by the standardized beta coefficients. Significant factors, listed by the magnitude of beta coefficients, were self efficacy, attitudes about cancer, perceived health status. These variables accounted for 30.5% of health behavior for cancer prevention.
Conclusions: Based on results of the present study, systemic health education about cancer prevention for school-age children is suggested. Further research is necessary in order to draw consensus on roles of the related factors of health behavior for cancer prevention.
