Methods: This descriptive and correlational research included 1,620 women—807 with a family history and 813 without. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, Breast Cancer Awareness Scale (B-CAS), and Attitudes Toward Cancer Screenings Scale. SPSS 27 software was used for data analysis, including chi-square test, Pearson correlation, and descriptive statistics. Results: The mean age of women with a family history was 31.22 ± 8.97, while those without had a mean age of 27.15 ± 8.78. Women with a family history scored higher on the B-CAS and the Attitudes Toward Cancer Screenings Scale, particularly in knowledge of risk factors, symptom awareness, screening barriers, and health behaviors (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Women with a family history of breast cancer have greater awareness and knowledge of risk factors than those without.BioMed Central Ltd2026Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/kostu/10509https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-026-16155-31471-2407enBMC Cancerinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://kostu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/kostu/10509
