“…This was explained by higher apprehension among the women with BCFH. However, other studies have shown that perceived susceptibility does not have any effects on BSE behavior (16,31).…”

“…Mammography rates were low, which was similar to the Turkish population. In other studies from Turkey, regular mammography and BSE rates were higher in women with family history when compared with women without family history (16,25). In studies from different parts of the world, screening behavior of women with BCHF in the last year ranged from 56.8% to 91% (20,22,(26)(27).…”

“…Schwab et al (14) reported that better results were achieved regarding tumor size, disease phase and histological examination through screening programs in women with breast cancer. In a study conducted in Turkey (15), groups having higher risk for breast cancer had mammography rates 11 times higher than the others and in another study, it was determined that the CBE rate was 48.1% in women with a family history (16).…”

“…Breast cancer screening and breast self-awareness are important steps to early detection (Shieh et al, 2012 ;Bebis et al, 2013;Yilmaz et al, 2013). For that reason, some experts recommend that women over age 20 perform a monthly breast self-examination to look for new lumps and other changes (Karayurt and Dramali, 2007;Oza et al, 2011;Bebis et al, 2013).…”

BSE, although not having been shown to be effective in reducing mortality, is still recommended as a general approach to increasing breast health awareness and thus potentially allows for early detection of any anomalies (Habib et al, 2010;Suh et al, 2012).…”

Background: Cancer is a major public health problem both in our country and worldwide due to its disease burden, fatality and tendency for increased incidence. In Turkey, breast cancer ranks first with an incidence of 41.6% and cervical cancer is the tenth most common cancer with an incidence of 4.4%. Objectives and Design: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 240 women aged from 15 to 65 years admitted to a gynecology-obstetrics outpatient clinic of a private hospital in Gaziantep. Study data were collected by the investigators through a 36-item questionnaire form which was generated using information gathered from similar surveys in the literature. Results: It was determined that 34.6% of women were high-school graduates, and 64.2% had a medium income level. The majority (79.2%) stated that they never performed BSE and 49.5% of them said that they did not know how to do it. Some 79.2% did not know what a Pap smear was and 73.3% had not experienced a smear test ever. Conclusions: In this study, we found that most of the women had insufficient knowledge of breast and cervical cancer, while knowledge and practices increased with the education level. Based on these findings, we suggest that there is a need for planning, implementation and assessment of health policies and healthcare services at the national and regional level and we believe that nurses working in the field of protective health services should develop educational programmes for women with a primary focus on cancer in order to increase awareness among the female population in Turkey.
