“…In our logistic regression analysis, it was determined that the BSE rate increased as the confidence / self-efficacy score increased. Spountzi-Krepia et al, Aker at al., Lee, and Lavdaniti showed that the ratio of BSE increased as trust/self efficiacy increased in logistic regression models [13,15,18,21]. Although, the CHBMS perceived barriers subscale was found to be significant in univariate analysis in our study, it was found that regular regression model did not significantly affect BSE performance.…”

Objectives: Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy in both Turkey and the World. Breast self-examination (BSE) is the cheapest and the easiest method for early detection. According to Turkey's Ministry of Health, 65.1 percent of women have never performed BSE. Only 10.1 percent of women perform BSE monthly. The purpose of this study was to examine health beliefs, behaviour and determining factors in BSE among a group of university students. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was carried out with 15,940 female university students in 2016. Sample size was 912. The research data was collected using a self-report questionnaire form and the adapted Turkish version of Champion's Health Belief Model Scale (CHBMS). Results: Ten point four percent of students (n=91) reported that they performed BSE monthly. Monthly BSE rates were higher in the students who were educated about BSE, who knew BSE timing and technique, who had been performed clinical breast examination and whose confidence subscale of CHBMS was higher. Conclusion: In conclusion, health education programs should include BSE education in high schools and universities. Also, these education programs should include all women and relate to the confidence subscale of CHBMS.

“…Segni ve arkadaşları [18] ortalama yaşları 22,9 yıl olan üniversite öğrencisinden oluşan 368 olguyu inceledikleri çalışmada, KKMM'nin uygulanma oranını düşük bulmuş (%44,2), bunun nedenlerini öğrencilerin KKMM'nin nasıl yapıl-dığını bilmemeleri ve kendilerini sağlıklı görmeleri olarak belirtmişlerdir. Krepia ve arkadaşlarının [19] toplamda 175 hemşirelik öğrencisinin bilgi ve tutumlarını inceledikleri çalışmalarında, öğrencilerin sadece %10'unun periyodik olarak KKMM yaptığı ve bu öğrencilerde uygulamaya iliş-kin ciddiyet ve yarar algısının yüksek çıktığı saptanmıştır.…”

Introduction and objective. Working at night and in shifts, as well as an unhealthy lifestyle, may increase the risk of breast cancer in nurses who therefore should frequently perform breast self-examination (BSE). The aim of the study was to investigate the performance of BSE among Polish nurses, its accuracy, sources of knowledge and skills, self-assessment of own competences and preparation to educate women about BSE. Materials and method. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in a group of female nurses (N=1,242). An anonymous, self-administrated questionnaire was used for data collection. To properly assess the BSE a four-item scale was made of the type single best answer multiple choice question. Each item referred to one agreed principle of performing BSE. Results. Regularly BSE was performed by 56.1% nurses, 67.3% pre-menopause nurses 2-3 days after cessation of menstruation and 30.4% post-menopause women on a chosen day of the month. About 98% examined visually and by palpation; 58.9% did so in two positions. In the accuracy scale of BSE, the average number of points was 2.8 out of 4. All (4 points) or almost all (3 points) recommendations of accurate BSE were met by 61.4% of the nurses. Self-assessment of knowledge and BSE practical skills were considered as good or very good by 93.5% and 88.8% nurses, respectively. The self-evaluation of nurses' knowledge and BSE skills was significantly correlated with the result on the accuracy scale or this BSE. Conclusions. Many deficiencies concerning frequency, times and BSE techniques were revealed among Polish nurses. There is a discrepancy between the high self-assessment of competences and the accurate practice of BSE. Nurses' preparation in Poland in BSE is insufficient and requires improvement.
