Literacy in self-breast examination (SADARI) still lacks attention from the community. Urban women in marginal communities even have limited access to health information. As a result, early detection of breast cancer remains a significant challenge for them. This study aims to obtain an overview of SADARI literacy among urban women in marginal communities. The study was conducted using a descriptive quantitative approach with a random sampling technique. The respondents were 79 women from the Az Zahra fisherman community in Ujung Tanah District, Makassar. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire sheet and observations consisting of 20 questions. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics using Excel. The early cancer detection variables used are self-breast examination (SADARI) and clinical breast examination (SADANIS). The results of this study indicate that SADARI literacy among urban women in marginal communities is still low. There are five indicators measured in this study, with the results showing respondents who have a good understanding of the purpose of SADARI (27%), the benefits of SADARI (11%), how to perform SADARI (7%), the appropriate time to perform SADARI (13%), and the signs found and the appropriate time to perform SADANIS (23%). This research can be a reference for the government to promote the socialization of early breast cancer detection that reaches marginal communities.

“…Setelah mengikuti edukasi ini, para peserta mendapatkan pemahaman yang baik dan benar tentang kesehatan reproduksi khususnya terkait tindakan periksa payudara sendiri. Faktor utama yang meningkatkan risiko kanker payudara pada wanita termasuk kurangnya praktik pemeriksaan payudara sendiri (Udeze et al, 2020). Pemahaman yang baik tentang sesuatu hal dapat berdampak pada peningkatan kualitas hidup.…”

Semua kalangan masyarakat memiliki hal yang sama untuk mendapatkan tambahan pengetahuan, demikian pula kaum biarawati yang merupakan sekelompok perempuan yang memilih untuk menjalani kehidupannya didalam biara. Pengetahuan yang baik tentang proses terjadinya kanker sangat penting diketahui termasuk oleh golongan nulliparitas karena juga memiliki resiko mengalami kanker payudara. Hasil penelitian sebelumnya tentang pemahaman para biarawati tentang kanker payudara, menyebutkan bahwa salah satu masalah yang di hadapi para biarawati adalah kurangnya pengetahuan akan masalah reproduksi khususnya kanker payudara. Mereka sangat membutuhkan sosialisasi tentang kanker payudara karena selama ini mereka beranggapan bahwa kondisi mereka yang tidak kawin dan memiliki anak tidak beresiko terkena kanker payudara. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah memberikan edukasi dan pelatihan kepada para biarawati dalam kelompok kecil untuk menjadi kader promosi kesehatan payudara kepada komunitas-komunitas lainnya terutama pada komunitas biara lain. Sebanyak 20 orang biarawati terlibat dalam kegiatan ini. Metode kegiatan berupa ceramah, diskusi, melakukan demonstrasi pemeriksaan payudara sendiri dan tahap evaluasi. Metode sharing pengetahuan yang digunakan dalam kegiatan pengabdian ini menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan para biarawati dalam kategori tinggi sebesar 73,6%, sehingga kegiatan ini berdampak pada perubahan pola pikir dan perilaku para biarawati dalam menjaga kesehatan reproduksi

“…BSE is singly assumed to be the most appropriate and effective strategy of ensuring early detection of breast cancer and could detect 40% of breast lesions among women if properly administered. Udeze et al (2020) also averred that Jenkins in his study explained that wherever breast self-examination is adequately practised, about seventy to eighty (70-80) percent of breast cancer are discovered by women themselves. Having good knowledge of breast self-examination and positive attitude towards it will have a great impact on the level of practice (Olajide et al, 2021) and this will go a long way in detecting breast cancer which had widely spread among women.…”

“…Breast cancer, according to Choumessi et al (2021), is considered the second most identified cancer among the whole world population and the commonest malignancy among women. Sadoh et al (2021) described breast cancer to be the commonest cancer in women and Udeze et al (2020) averred that it has become a problem all around the world; it accounted for 14% globally. Sharma (2021) reported that breast cancer accounted for 29.5% of all cancers in Africa and 33.3% annually in Nigeria, according to Ibitoye and Thupayegale-Tshwenegae (2019).…”

“…Late presentation of patients at advanced stages due to late detection when little or no benefit can be derived from any form of therapy is the hallmark of breast cancer in Nigerian women (Alshahrani et al, 2019). The escalation of breast cancer has brought about innumerable chaos on women society just because they fail to detect breast cancer early with BSE which is considered the most appropriate strategy for all categories of women, and they also report breast cancer cases late even at an advanced stage in hospitals (Udeze et al, 2020). Early detection and prompt report for quick treatment on breast cancer is the basic and ultimate priority in reducing the morbidity and mortality from breast cancer (Seifu & Mekonen, 2021) and this is easily achievable through proper administration of BSE.…”

Background: Among the screening methods for the early detection of breast abnormalities that could lead to breast cancer, Breast self-examination is the basic, simplest, cost effective, self-administered and very important technique. It allows women to get acquainted with the nature of their breasts and therefore allows them to discover any deviation. Early detection goes a long way in successful treatment of BC and this is easily come by with good and adequate knowledge, good attitude towards and excellent skill to administer BSE. Consequently, we drew out the data on BSE knowledge, attitudes and practice among Nigeria women. Methods: A systematic review was done among studies conducted in Nigeria using Arskey and O’Malleys’ framework as a guide. The databases searched include PubMed, Google, Google Scholar, Jstor, Intech Open, Proquest and PubMed Central for relevant studies on women’s knowledge, attitude and practice on BSE. Studies included in the review were from thirteen states in Nigeria. The articles reviewed in this systematic review were journals published between August 2012 to July 2022, a 10-year systematic review. Results: Sixty-three (63) articles were firstly extracted to be eligible for review; thirty-seven (37) were excluded due to duplication of content, lack of focus on the concept and incomplete content. Another nine (9) were discarded for muddling up result with another concept and for not involving at least two of the variables, i.e., knowledge, attitude and practice of breast self-examination. The seventeen (17) articles were conducted in thirteen states of which two (2) were conducted in Osun State as well as Sokoto State and three in Oyo State while one (1) each in other ten states, namely Benin, Kano, Imo, Akwa-Ibom, Ekiti, Ebonyi, Abia, Ondo, Awka, and Lagos States. Twelve (12) studies reported evidence on BSE knowledge, attitude and practice; three (3) on knowledge and practice; and two (2) reported on attitude and practice of BSE. The findings of this study submit varying knowledge levels on BSE though—averagely good knowledge but poor practice among women in Nigeria. Conclusion/Recommendation: The findings from these studies show that the knowledge of BSE among women folk in Nigeria is averagely low though women’s attitude seems good. Similarly, the practice of BSE among women in Nigeria is poor. Therefore, proactive measures need to be taken to increase the level of knowledge of BSE through educational programs among every category of women to reduce morbidity and mortality from breast cancer in Nigeria in the nearest future.
