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

Simple Screening

Breast self-examination is a very simple screening tool for breast cancer. It requires minimal training to be imparted to women. They are instructed to detect any asymmetry with the other breast in terms of a lump, change in breast shape or of the overlying skin (puckering), any abnormal discharge from the nipples &/or any breast lesion that does not heal easily. Teaching women about this importance of breast self-examination is a core subject of community nursing. It was therefore thought important to assess the background knowledge regarding the same amongst women of a selected area in Haryana. The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and expressed practices regarding breast self-examination among women in a selected area of Haryana. A sample of 50 women was chosen. Data collection was done by using Google form questionnaire after assessing their willingness and ability to participate in this survey by filling up this online form. After assessing the knowledge level, it was found that 80% (n=40) were having adequate knowledge regarding breast self-examination and 20% (n=10) were having inadequate knowledge regarding breast self-examination. 52% of the women (n=26) were practicing breast self-examination and rest were not. Awareness regarding breast self-examination was adequate in the sample studied. However, the practice of performing the same was present in only about 50% of the women in the above-mentioned sample. The findings of the study highlights the need for educational programs to create awareness among women regarding regular breast screening behavior.
