Artificial Intelligence Chatbot-Generated Educational Material
A structured educational material was generated using an artificial intelligence chatbot and presented through Google Forms in a conversational question-and-answer format. The content was written in plain language appropriate for female municipal employees aged 18 years or older and covered breast cancer risk factors, signs and symptoms, preventive attitudes, barriers to screening, awareness-related health behaviors, breast self-examination, and treatment methods. Participants accessed the predefined material through a link or QR code. No real-time or personalized chatbot interaction occurred. Both the artificial intelligence chatbot-generated educational material and the expert-developed educational material were evaluated by a panel of nine independent experts, comprising four general surgery specialists and five public health specialists.
Expert-Developed Educational Material
Breast cancer awareness educational material was developed by the researchers. The material covered breast cancer risk factors, signs and symptoms, preventive attitudes, barriers to screening, awareness-related health behaviors, breast self-examination, and treatment methods. It was evaluated by a panel of nine independent experts, comprising four general surgery specialists and five public health specialists.
