Abstract
This study was conducted to identify the factors related to the cancer preventive behaviors of middle aged women. The data was collected from October $1^{st}$ 2012 to February $10^{th}$ 2013 from 114 middle aged women in four churches in B city. As a result, there were significant differences in the cancer preventive behaviors according to cancer preventive education, concerns about cancer information and the utilization of cancer information. The cancer preventive behaviors were weakly related to the internal health locus of the control, chance health locus of the control and self-esteem. In addition, there was moderate correlation between the cancer preventive behaviors and the external health locus of the control. Meaningful variables that explain the cancer preventive behaviors were the external health locus of the control, self-esteem, cancer preventive education in that order. The total explanation power was 25.3% and the external health locus of the control has most explanation power. In conclusion, it is necessary to develop nursing intervention and health education for middle aged women to raise the internal health locus of the control and self-esteem, and encourage attending cancer preventive education to improve the preventive behaviors against cancer.
