Self Examination

In a prospective study, we measured compliance with breast self-examination, using an anonymous questionnaire, in suburban high school students three months (n = 85) and eight months (n = 54) after group instruction. Post-instruction proficiency in performing the procedure and personal health beliefs regarding breast cancer were also evaluated. At three months, 40% of the group reported practicing breast self-examination at some time since instruction; 12% had performed the procedure timed correctly with their menstrual cycle. At eight months, only two girls (4%) had practiced breast self-examination at least once since the three-month evaluation. Proficiency scores overall were high, with 77% scoring 12 points or above on a 15-item questionnaire; however, scores were significantly lower in the 15-year-olds than in the older adolescents. No significant relationships were found between compliance and most personal health beliefs, previous instruction, or level of knowledge of the procedure. Attention should be directed toward assessing the ability and willingness to practice preventive health behaviors before instruction programs are instituted in this age group.

Background. Breast cancer remains a serious public health problem globally. It is particularly increasing among adolescents and premenopausal women. Breast self-examination (BSE) is the most effective and feasible means of detecting breast cancer early in developing countries. This study aimed at evaluating and comparing knowledge of BSE among secondary and tertiary school students and at revealing their attitudes and practices about BSE. Method. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 1036 female secondary and tertiary school students of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and Technology Senior High School. Data was obtained using a pretested questionnaire to access sociodemography, knowledge, attitudes, and practice of BSE among the students. Result. Most students were within the age of 15–24 years; 90.9% were aware of BSE. A high level of knowledge on BSE was found in 54.5% of the students. Knowledge was significantly higher in tertiary than secondary school students (p=0.002). 24.1% of the students thought BSE could be performed anytime; however only 8.1% of the students performed BSE monthly as recommended, whilst 41.8% had never practiced. Of these, more secondary students had never practiced BSE as compared to the tertiary students. 22.3% indicated they would wait for a change in a detected breast lump before seeking medical attention. 96.3% of the participants agree BSE is a good practice which must be encouraged.
