Gynecological cancers are among the most prevalent cancers in women, making it essential to enhance women's health and awareness. Education is vital for raising this awareness. Constructivist educational models promote active learning and personal experiences, contrasting with traditional methods that emphasize information transmission. This study aims to assess the impact of the constructivist education model on gynecological cancer awareness, health anxiety, and spiritual well-being in women. This randomized controlled study was conducted from 25 December 2023, to 20 February 2024. The sample was selected using purposive sampling and included 60 participants. The personal information form, gynecologic cancer awareness scale GCAS, three-factor spiritual well-being scale TFSWBS, and health anxiety scales (HAI) were applied to both study groups before and after the intervention. Interventions were carried out in 6 sessions based on the constructivist learning model for the intervention group. Women in the traditional education group received standard education on the subject. The GCAS, TFSWBS, and HAI scales were administered after the education and 4 weeks later. The study showed that both constructivist-based health education and traditional cancer education programmes increased cancer awareness after the intervention. However, no significant differences were found between the groups at any of the time points.
