The aim of this cross\u2010sectional study is to reveal the OC awareness of Turkish women and affecting factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants were invited to study via social media tools between February\u2010June 2022.

The most frequently recalled and recognized OC symptom is pelvic pain (19.8%; 55.8%, respectively). The most frequently recalled and recognized OC risk factors were smoking (43.1%, 67.9%, respectively) and family history (39%, 58.7%, respectively). 2% of the participants felt very confident in recognizing the signs, 72.9% would seek help within 1\u20132 days when they recognized the signs of OC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The awareness of OC was higher among women who had advanced age, higher education, family history and were in menopause. Turkish women have low level of awareness and knowledge about OC symptoms and risk factors. There is an urgent need for an OC awareness campaign that takes into account the socio\u2010demographic characteristics of women. The results of the study may also guide strategies to prevent OC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/phn.13306","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,14]],"date-time":"2024-03-14T11:39:55Z","timestamp":1710416395000},"page":"535-542","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Ovarian cancer awareness of women in Turkey: A cross\u2010sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9183-219X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meltem","family":"Ugurlu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Sciences Faculty of Gulhane Midwifery Department University of Health Sciences Turkey, Etlik, Ke\u00e7i\u00f6ren  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4604-4570","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruveyde","family":"Aydin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics Nursing Health Sciences Faculty Ondokuz May\u0131s University  Atakum Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6451-296X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatma Uslu","family":"Sahan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecologic Nursing Faculty of Nursing Hacettepe University  S\u0131hh\u0131ye Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7304-685X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gulsen","family":"Vural","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Faculty of Health Sciences At\u0131l\u0131m University  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.22034\/APJCP.2018.19.7.1833"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471\u20102407\u201014\u2010171"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ygyno.2020.05.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13048\u2010019\u20100503\u20107"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","first-page":"71","article-title":"A cross\u2010sectional study of ovarian cancer knowledge and its determinants among female employees in a Public University, Malaysia","volume":"13","author":"Elmahdi N.
