Self Examination

The knowledge and practice of breast self-examination (BSE) was investigated among 500 women with operable breast tumors between 35 and 64 years of age (all successively operated) and 652 healthy women, matched with the previous group for 5-year age groups from 35 to 54 years. Only 39.9 % of breast cancer women and 34.5 % of the controls practiced BSE, and only a third of these did it monthly. Such practice tends to progressively decrease, starting from 45 years, and it is used less frequently by the women with a poor education and those in a lower economic bracket. Among the 500 breast cancer patients, those who practiced the self-examination had a higher number of tumors with a diameter no greater than 2 cm and a lower number with a diameter larger than 4 cm. In addition, in this group the percentage of unaffected axillary lymph nodes (N–) was 58.8 % compared to 48.8 % for the group that did not practice self-examination, and the percentage of the cases with more than 3 metastatic lymph nodes (N+ > 3) was 20.0 % in the first group and 27.3 % of the second one. These differences are statistically significant. The correlation between tumor diameter and the histologic lymph node stage is equally evident, since there is a progressive reduction in N– cases and a contemporary progressive increase in N+ (> 3) cases with increasing breast tumor diameter. Therefore, we can infer that the lack of practice of BSE causes a diagnostic and therapeutic delay, which is responsible for aggravation of the prognosis.

This study estimated the frequency of breast-self examination practice and its possible relation to the stage of the disease at diagnosis and patient-related delay in diagnosis among newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. Breast self-examination was practised in 10.4% of cases. It was performed by patients from higher socioeconomic levels and those with a positive family history of breast cancer or benign breast mass. There was significant association between failure to practise breast self-examination and diagnostic delay. We emphasize the need for breast self-examination awareness campaigns as a key measure for ensuring earlier diagnosis and hence better prognoses for breast cancer patients in our community

Background: Breast cancer is an abnormal growth of cells that form in breast tissue. In Aceh, breast cancer is the third most non-communicable disease with most breast cancer patients having a period of late treatment. The results of research on women in Lueng Bata District Banda Aceh City in 2015 found data that the majority of respondents had never had regular breast examinations. This can result in breast cancer being detected at an advanced stage where the therapy often cannot make the patient recover and end up in pain and death. To prevent the occurrence of these problems, health promotion is held about breast cancer and breast self-examination (BSE).Objectives: This study aims to increase women's knowledge and understanding of breast cancer and increase awareness for early detection and appropriate treatment.Methods: was carried out for 3 days from 12 to 14 September 2018 to the community in the work area of the Batoh Health Center in Banda Aceh. The method used is filling out questionnaires, lectures accompanied by questions and answers to explain risk factors, early signs of breast cancer, as well as demonstrations of breast self-examination.Results: From the evaluation of the results obtained from the community service activities, among others, is to increase awareness and understanding of the community, especially women about breast cancer and breast self-examination. It is thus expected to continue on a will that is applied in daily behavioral changes to prevent and routinely examine breast cancer in order to prevent complications and improve quality of life.Conclusion: There is an increase in knowledge and understanding of the meaning, risk factors, early signs and symptoms of breast cancer, and how to detect breast cancer early.

Kasus kematian kanker di Indonesia menjadi yang tertinggi dengan angka 21,5 pada setiap 100.000, 70% pasien kanker payudara datang ke fasilitas kesehatan dengan keadaan stadium lanjut. Pengenalan penyakit kanker menjadi penting karena dapat menurunkan kasus baru kanker. Sehingga diperlukannya upaya pencegahan deteksi dini untuk mempermudah mengenali faktor risiko dan gejala kanker. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh mahasiswi D-III Kebidanan STIKes Murni Teguh yaitu sebanyak 32 orang. Sampel berjumlah 100 orang mahasiswi. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan menggunakan total sampling. Penelitian dianalisa secara univariat dan bivariat dengan uji statistik chi square. Dari hasil uji bivariat menunjukan Hasil uji Chi square dengan bantuan SPSS diperoleh nilai P = 0,001 (P ≤ 0. 005) sehingga dapat dikatakan secara statistik terdapat hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan pemeriksaan payudara sendiri (SADARI) sebagai deteksi dini kanker payudara. Disarankan agar mahasiswi STIKes Murni Teguh meningkatkan Pengetahuan tentang pemeriksaan payudara sendiri (SADARI) dan rutin melakukan pemeriksaan payudara sendiri sesuai dengan waktu dan langkah – langkah pemeriksaan. STIKes Murni Teguh memberikan konseling dan informasi kepada mahasiswa untuk rutin melakukan SADARI.  Cancer death cases in Indonesia are the highest with 21.5 in every 100,000, 70% of breast cancer patients come to health facilities with an advanced stage. The introduction of cancer is important because it can reduce new cases of cancer. So that the need to prevent early detection efforts to facilitate recognizing risk factors and symptoms of cancer. This type of research is descriptive analytic with cross sectional design. The population in this study were all 32 D-III Midwifery students from STIKes Murni Teguh. The sample amounted to 100 female students. Sampling is done using total sampling. The study was analyzed by univariate and bivariate tests with chi square statistics. From the results of the bivariate test, the results of the Chi square test with the help of SPSS obtained a value of P = 0.001 (P ≤ 0. 005) so that it can be said statistically there is a relationship between knowledge with breast self examination (BSE) as early detection of breast cancer. It is recommended that Pure STIKes students firmly increase their knowledge of breast self-examination (BSE) and routinely carry out breast self-examinations according to the time and steps of the examination. STIKes Murni Teguh provides counseling and information to students to routinely conduct BSE.
