The significance level was considered as P < 0.05.Findings: The mean age of 335 participants was 34.78 years, and the vast majority of them were married, housewife, and had good income. The mean ± standard deviation of the breast cancer screening beliefs score was 41.03 ± 10.54. The mean score of screening beliefs was 42.71 ± 10.76 and 38.16 ± 9.38 in subjects with and without screening practice, which showed a significant difference in t-test (P = 0.001).
