“…Almost three-fourths (73.70%) of young adult women had low knowledge of breast cancer. Similarly, 75.90% of female students in Mekelle University [34] and 56.20% in Sudan Khartoum had poor knowledge of breast cancer [35]. Nearly 38% of respondents have excellent warning sign knowledge, whereas 138 (40.75%), on the other hand, have insufficient warning sign knowledge.…”

Background Breast cancer is still a recognized public health issue in Ethiopia. Despite this, the viewpoints and comprehensions of young women about the situation are unknown. Therefore, this study was carried out to assess the knowledge and perceptions of young adult women in Southwest Ethiopia about breast cancer and breast self-examination (BSE). Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was carried out in the Gurage zone, southwest Ethiopia, in 2021. A total of 392 young adult women were randomly selected from both urban and rural strata using a three-stage stratified sampling process. A pretested questionnaire was used to collect the data. For data entry, Epi-data 4.6 with a double-entry approach was used, and for analysis, SPSS 26 was used. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify variables associated with BSE behavior. A p-value of 0.05 or below was considered statistically significant with a 95% CI. Results The respondents’ ages ranged from 20 to 24, with a mean of 21.25 (±1.32) years. Breast cancer and BSE were unknown to more than 80% of the study participants. A large proportion of young adult women had low perceived susceptibility (97.6%), low threat of breast cancer (96%), and low self-efficacy to perform BSE (91.4%). BSE was conducted by 23.1% of the participants occasionally. Being married (AOR = 5.31, 95% CI = 2.19–12.90), having good outcome expectations of BSE (AOR = 2.05, 95% CI = 1.16–3.61), having good BSE knowledge (AOR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.04–1.45), having high perceived susceptibility (AOR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.05–1.20), high perceived severity (AOR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.02–3.09), and having high self-efficacy to do BSE (AOR = 1.05, 95% CI = 1.01–1.09) were all significant predictors of BSE practice. Conclusions Young adult women were less concerned about breast cancer and had insufficient knowledge of breast cancer and breast self-examination. They have little knowledge of, confidence in, or experience with BSE. The practice of BSE was associated with increased perceived susceptibility, self-efficacy, severity, outcome expectations, and BSE knowledge. Therefore, these variables should be considered when developing educational interventions for young women.

“…Pemeriksaan payudara secaraa rutin sangat dianjurkan sebagai salah satu cara pencegahan yang murah, mudah, non-invasive, dan dapat dilakukan dimana saja. Namun pada penelitian yang dilakukan di Sudan menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan dan praktik pemeriksaan payudara sendiri sangat rendah (Ahmed Mohamed et al, 2020), sehingga banyak pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan dalam meningkatkan kemampuan melakukan pemeriksaan payudara sendiri mendapatkan hasil adanya peningkatan pengetahuan setelah edukasi dan pelatihan SADARI dibanding sebelumnya (Marfianti, 2021) Penelitian lain yang dilakukan di Desa Resun Kecamatan Lingga Utara, Kabupaten Lingga, Provinsi Kepulauan Riau tentang pendidikan kesehatan dengan metode demonstrasi terhadap kemampuan wanita usia subur dalam melakukan pemeriksaan payudara sendiri (SADARI) dalam upaya deteksi dini kanker payudara, mendapatkan ada pengaruh pelaksanaan pemeriksaan payudara sendiri (SADARI) terhadap peningkatan kemampuan wanita usia subur dalam upaya deteksi dari kanker payudara (Hastuti et al, 2020). Penelitian pendukung lain yang dilakukan pada mahasiswi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Tarumanagara tentang pengetahuan dan sikap kanker payudara juga mendapatkan terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan dan sikap setelah dan sebelum penyuluhan kanker payudara (Azzubaidi & Sugiharto, 2020).…”

WHO data states that women diagnosed with breast cancer have increased over the last 5 years. It is estimated that breast cancer occurs in more than 1 in 10 women. Prevention of breast cancer through strengthening the basic health system can reduce morbidity and mortality. Breast cancer prevention can be done with breast self-examination (BSE). The purpose of this activity is to increase awareness of women of childbearing age about breast cancer and increase the ability to detect cancer in Samapuin Village. The methods used include regional situation analysis, problem solutions and extension methods. Evaluation of activities is given using pre-test and post-test question sheets. Based on the results of the pre-test, it is known that about 90% of participants do not understand about breast cancer and its prevention. After counseling and practice of BSE, the posttest results have increased with an average score of 8.5 out of 10. It is hoped that after this activity participants will continue to do BSE independently at home. ABSTRAK Data WHO menyebutkan wanita yang didiagnosa menderita kanker payudara mengalami peningkatan selama 5 tahun terakhir. Diperkirakan Kejadian kanker payudara dialami oleh lebih dari 1 dari 10 wanita. Pencegahan kanker payudara melalui penguatan system kesehatan dasar dapat menurunkan angka kesakitan dan kematian. Pencegahan kanker payudara dapat dilakukan dengan pemeriksaan payudara sendiri (SADARI). Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah meningkatkan kesadaran wanita usia subur tentang kanker payudara dan meningkatkan kemampuan untuk deteksi kanker di Kelurahan Samapuin. Metode yang digunakan meliputi analisis situasi wilayah, solusi permasalahan dan metode penyuluhan. Evaluasi kegiatan diberikan dengan menggunakan lembar pertanyaan pretest dan posttest. Berdasarkan hasil pretest, diketahui bahwa sekitar 90% peserta tidak mengerti tentang kanker payudara dan pencegahannya. Setelah dilakukan penyuluhan dan praktik SADARI hasil posttest mengalami peningkatan dengan nilai rata-rata 8,5 dari nilai 10. Diharapkan setelah kegiatan ini peserta tetap terus melakukan SADARI secara mandiri di rumah.

Introduction Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Breast self-examination is one of the non-invasive methods of screening in which a woman looks at her breast for any abnormal findings like lumps, distortions, or swellings. Despite, realized effects of breast self-examination in detecting breast cancer earlier, the vast majority of the cases still present with an advanced stage. Objective This study aimed to assess knowledge, attitude, and practices toward breast self-examination and associated factors among women in Gondar Town, Northwest Ethiopia, 2021. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on women living in Gondar town. A simple random sampling method was used to select 571 participants. Interviewer administered questionnaires were used for data collection. Data was entered into Epi-data version 4.6 and exported to Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 25 for analysis. Multivariate logistic regression was used where a p-value < 0.05 was used to identify variables significantly associated with the outcome variable. Result From the total of 571 women, about 541 participants were involved in the study with a response rate of 94.7%. Of these, 56%, 46% and 45.8% of women had adequate knowledge, favourable attitudes, and performed breast self-examination (BSE) respectively. Women College and above AOR: 3.8 (95% CI: 1.43–10.14) and spouses College and above AOR: 3.03 (95% CI: 1.04–8.84), Women College and above AOR: 4.18 (95% CI: 1.59–10.92) and history of breast cancer AOR: 6.06 (95% CI: 2.19–16.74) and knowledge level AOR: 2.67 (95% CI: 1.18–6.04) were significantly associated with knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards breast self-examination respectively. Conclusion The findings of this study were considerable for inadequate knowledge, unfavourable attitude and poor practice towards BSE among women. Emphasis should be made on boosting the knowledge, attitude, and practice of the women toward breast self-examination and strengthening the implementation of comprehensive, systematic, and continuous BSE educational programs that were recommended along with a breast cancer awareness campaign.
