“…This involves making population aware of the relation between woman's heath, her lifestyle, and physico-social surrounding. Medical staff should prevent disease through education about risk factors (The National Program for Fight Cancer, 2005; Khan et al, 2010;Menvielle et al, 2011;Fotedar et al, 2013;Avci et al, 2014).…”

“…In many countries informative actions have been undertaken since some years to extend women's knowledge on the issue (McTiernan et al, 2008;Avci et al, 2014). In Poland, as well as in the entire European Union, National Program against Cancer has been considered the most effective instrument of reducing the incidence and improving the results of malignant cancer treatment.…”

“…The instruction of students of breast cancer prevention plays a vital role in education of future midwives and their professional activity (Avci et al, 2014). By reinforcing appropriate standards of healthy lifestyle and giving a right example to follow in one's attitude, the medical staff takes an active part in the early phase of health promotion (Directive 2005/36/ EC; Demireloz et al, 2010;Rosmawati, 2010).…”

“…European Union Directives state the duration of the instruction and subjects to deal with. Practical and clinical training also produces an important effect on individual knowledge and prevention against breast cancer, and midwife's skills of breast selfexamination (Avci et al, 2014). It should be pointed out here the necessity to have a midwifery student take care of women displaying pathological and gynecological symptoms.…”

“…This is the case both of European countries, characteristic of high living standards, and the developing ones. An increase in the number of patients suffering from breast cancers is presently observed (Emons and Luiten, 2002;Plesnicar et al, 2010;Bosetti et al, 2012;Yousuf et al, 2012;Avci et al, 2014).

Relations between opposing characteristics were tested with Chi-square (x 2 ) test for independent traits. To assess the dependence relation between the examined variables Pearson's corrected coefficient was used. Data base and statistics were carried out with computer software STATISTICA 9.0 (StatSoftPoland). Conclusions: Student knowledge on prevention against breast cancer was unsatisfactory.The students place of residence determined their self-estimation of personal knowledge of breast cancer prevention and diagnosing methods to assess the incidence of the disease, this knowledge being better with the students of Lublin. Better self-estimation in the students of Lublin of their personal knowledge on factors rising the risk of breast cancer, such as alimentation method, application of oral contraceptives and breast feeding was found than in Belgian students.

This study is aimed to compare the effect of two methods of short messages and group training on level of knowledge and practice of middle-aged women about breast cancer screening procedures. This clinical trial study was done on 210 women aged 40-60 years in Mahshahr city, Iran. Eligible middle-aged women were randomly assigned in two groups of short message (n = 105) and group training (n = 105). Data collected through a questionnaire which included three parts (demographic, knowledge and practice of women about breast cancer and screening procedures). Group training was educated for two sessions in 2 weeks that each session lasted 2 h. In the short message group, every woman received texts about breast cancer, reasons, and preventive methods, three times a week, for 2 weeks. The questionnaire (knowledge and practice) was completed 2 months after educational intervention. Data was analyzed using independent t test, paired t test, and chi-square. Results of this study showed that average score of knowledge in two groups increased significantly, from 34.4 ± 7.54 to 40. 8 ± 7.18 in the short text messages (SMS) and from 35 to 39.75 in the group training (P > 0.05). Also, the score of breast examination by health provider in the SMS group was significantly higher than that in the group training, but the score of breast self-examination in the group training was higher than that in the short message (P < 0.05). The results showed that training by each way is effective to increase knowledge and performance of women about breast cancer screening methods. Further studies to compare the cost-effectiveness of two methods are recommended.
