Introduction: Cultural beliefs are influential factors that affect breast cancer screening practices among Korean women. The aim of this study was to examine the role of educational levels and compare the cultural beliefs associated with breast cancer screening practices among immigrant Korean women in Australia with those of their counterparts in Korea. Methods: A secondary analysis based on data from convenience samples of 245 and 249 Korean women living in Australia and Korea, respectively. Data were collected by the Korean version of Breast Cancer Screening Beliefs Questionnaire. Results: Educational level has a significant association with Korean women’s cultural beliefs about breast cancer and breast cancer screening practices regardless of country of residence. Discussion: Nurses working in multicultural societies should take cultural beliefs and the role of education into account while designing strategies to promote breast cancer screening practices among immigrant Korean women.

Abstract Backgrounds and aims Breast cancer is a major public health problem. In Tunisia, breast cancer is the first leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Different organizations and professionals advise women to learn how to perform breast self-examination (BSE) so that they can detect the slightest change as soon as it intervenes. Objective This study aims to determine the prevalence of women performing breast self-examination and to evaluate their practices. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed about women's knowledge, attitude and practice of breast cancer screening and breast self-examination. The study was conducted in the Reproductive Health Center of Sousse spread over a period of 2 months (February, March 2018). Self administered questionnaires were distributed to women. Results The mean age of the participants was 34 years with extremes ranging from 18 to 64 years. 47% of women surveyed have already performed breast self examination at least once during the last year. 14% of participants practiced breast cancer screening less than once a year. The first source of learning for breast cancer screening was health professionals in 27% of cases. The score of the practice of women surveyed was average; mostly, women have intermediate results for the technique of self-examination breast. No woman had a score of 15/15. Conclusions A better education of the practice of self-examination is essential in order to improve the screening program for breast cancer. The role of the gynecologist, general practitioner or midwife is therefore essential in education and training. Key messages A better education of the practice of self-examination is essential in order to improve the screening program for breast cancer. The role of the gynecologist, general practitioner or midwife is therefore essential in education and training.

Contrast Analysis

Abstract Background To investigate whether women with benign breast disease (BBD) history have higher breast cancer detection rate in screening. Methods We reviewed data for 33 001 female participants in Multi-modality Independent Screening Trial (MIST). Corresponding data for 6823 breast cancer patients were retrieved from the Tianjin Breast Cancer Cases Cohort (TBCCC) and analyzed for comparison. Results The breast cancer detection rate was 2.83‰ among women with BBD history and 3.28‰ in women without. Moreover, the proportion of carcinoma in situ (CIS) was also lower in women with BBD history than women without (7.69 versus 20.31%). In contrast, analysis of TBCCC data revealed a higher proportion of CIS in patients with BBD history (5.05%) than patients without (3.26%). Our data showed that a larger proportion of women with BBD history had undergone previous breast examinations. Additionally, among participants diagnosed with both breast cancer and BBD in MIST, we found a lower proportion of CIS in women with BBD history (11.76%) compared to women without (32.14%). Conclusions Women with BBD history were not found to have higher detection rate in breast cancer screening. Women with BBD history were more likely to be proactive in seeking breast examinations and to have breast cancer be diagnosed in clinic.
