BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide (22%), and in India (18.5%) it ranks second to cervical cancer. The burden of breast cancer is increasing in both developed and developing countries. India is a vast country with huge population, cultural diversity, geographical variations, diets and habits; sources of information on cancer risk factors are limited. Ageing is the main risk factor for breast cancer. Some of the associated factors related to reproductive and lifestyle includes literacy, diet, age at menarche and menopause, age at first delivery, abortion, and family history of breast cancer. Various pneumonic devices are used in teaching breast self-examination which includes “7Ps” - position, perimeter, palpation, pressure, pattern, practice, and planning, what to do if a change is found in a breast tissue. This study was carried out with the intention of assessing the level of knowledge and prevention of breast cancer and breast self-examination (BSE) in female nursing students. METHODS A descriptive study was carried out in the Nurses’ Training Institute, Agartala, Tripura. A total of 100 students present on those days of data collection and who gave consent were included in the study. RESULTS 94 % were in the age group of 18 - 22 (reproductive age group) years. Among the 100 study participants, only 1 % had adequate knowledge followed by 36 % having moderate knowledge and majority (63 %) were under ‘inadequate level of knowledge’. Study showed that, there is a significant association between nursing student’s religion and educational level with the knowledge score on breast cancer and its preventive measures with chi square = 20.46 and chi square = 31.47 respectively at P < 0.05 level of significance. CONCLUSIONS This study concluded that the knowledge level of breast cancer among nursing students was poor. Nurse educator has ample opportunity for taking active part in educating the nursing students regarding breast cancer and its prevention. Education is of utmost importance for early detection of breast cancer and reduction of mortality. KEYWORDS Breast Cancer, Adequate, Moderately adequate, Inadequate

Introduction Breast self-examination (BSE) is a self-generated, non-invasive and non-irradiative method of breast cancer detection. Self examination of the breasts each month after the menstrual cycle is the simplest yet extremely important way to detect early breast cancer. It has been observed that women can detect 95% of breast cancers and 65% of early minimal breast cancers themselves. This method is harmless, less time consuming and can be performed by any woman.Objective To assess the effectiveness of educational intervention programme regarding Breast Self Examination among girl students of study school.Methodology Pre experimental one group pre-test post-test design was adopted for this study. In total, 61 girls were included. The result were analysed by using both descriptive as well as inferential statistics.Results In pre-test 75.4% had inadequate and only 1.6% had adequate knowledge regarding Breast Self Examination, in contrast, after the intervention the adequate knowledge was increased to 62.3%. The overall mean score was increased from 33.07% to 85.14%. The test of significance revealed that the increment in BSE knowledge score due to program intervention was highly significant (P< 0.001).Conclusion The educational intervention programme on BSE was found to be highly effective as the knowledge score was significantly increased after intervention of the package among higher secondary school girls.Birat Journal of Health Sciences 2016 1(1): 13-19

Background: In Malaysia, women had breast cancer always reported at their late stage. One of the causes is due to the delay in seeking medical attention. Poor knowledge about the breast cancer is one of the factors that cause the delay. Aim: This study was designed to assess the knowledge on breast cancer symptoms and risk factors, screening method, and practice among participants. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study done from 1st of March till 15th of March 2016 involving 89 nursing students from School of Nursing Science, Medical Faculty, University Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA).

Abstract Background: Breast cancer is the most prevalent and the second cause of cancer deaths among women worldwide especially in developing country. It is considered as a progressive disease with a poor prognosis if detected late. Therefore, its early detection using breast self-examination plays a significant role in reducing morbidity and mortality related to breast cancer. Objective: This study aims to evaluate breast self-examination practice and associated factors among women reproductive age group in southeast Ethiopia. Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted on 836 reproductive age group women. Interviewer administered questionnaire was used for quantitative part of the study and supplemented qualitatively using focus group discussions. Data was interred into Epi-info version 3.5.3, and analysed using SPSS version 20. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regressions were done to examine the effect of explanatory variables to the outcome variable. Variables with P. value <0.05 during multivariable logistic regressions were considered as significantly associated with the dependent variable. Result: Out of eight hundred thirty six total participants, 20.7% of them had ever heard about breast self-examination practice. Also only 13.2% of the mothers had practiced breast self-examination. Maternal age, mother’s level of education, and previous history of breast examination by health professionals were major predictors for breast self-examination practice. Conclusion: This study reported lower prevalence of breast self-examination practice. Therefore, enhancing maternal education and coverage of breast examination by health professionals are essential to raise the odds of breast self- examination practice among women reproductive age group.

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the second major cause of cancer mortality in women and is one of the important public health concerns of modern era. This suggests that the methods for early detection of breast cancer needs to be communicated to the general population. Breast self - examination (BSE) is one of the simplest ways of screening in breast cancer and this study intends to find the knowledge regarding breast cancer and BSE. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study conducted in women of reproductive age group belonging to an urban slum of Chennai. A sample of 170 women above 20 years of age were interviewed randomly using a pretested questionnaire in the local language. Ethical clearance was obtained from the IHEC of the Institution and proper informed consent was taken from the women included in the study. RESULTS In the study, we have identified that majority (84.7 %) of the women had awareness about breast cancer, but only 49 out of 170 were not aware that prevention is possible. Only 38.8 % of the subjects had heard of breast self-examination and among them, only 5.3 % had performed the BSE for cancer screening. Less than 2 % of the study population were fully aware about the procedure. Awareness regarding the disease is significantly associated with factors like age, education, and socioeconomic status. (P < 0.001) CONCLUSIONS Based on the study findings, poor knowledge about BSE and the breast cancer prevention methods was observed in this study suggesting the need to educate the high-risk age groups of women especially in low socioeconomic group.
