Meanwhile, the data from hospital information system (SIRS) 2012, Breast cancer is the most common cancer type in all hospitals in Indonesia (16.85%), followed by cervical cancer (11.78%). In West Sumatra, incidence rate of breast cancer is about 1.7% higher than the national average (1.4%). ABSTRACTBackground: Breast self-examination (BSE) is one of the interventions to detect the breast cancer earlier. Nowadays, BSE didn't known by the many adolescent and young women, so that it is needed to do promotive effort to increase their knowledge about BSE. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of health promotion about breast self-examination for Student's knowledge at the first senior high school of Enam Lingkung Padang Pariaman. Methods: The research design was pre experimental with one-group pre-posttest design approach and was conducted on July 2014. The samples were students in tenth and eleventh class, which was taken by simple random sampling technique and the number of samples, were 75 people. Results: The survey results revealed an average score of knowledge before the intervention was (59.33) with a standard deviation (12.284), and average knowledge score after the intervention was (88.40) with standard deviation (7.220). The difference of the average scores of knowledge before and after the intervention was (29.067). The statistic test indicated that there was a difference of average score of knowledge before and after intervention with p value was (0.000). Conclusions: It can be expected for health professional to increase prevention efforts of breast cancer through health promotion about BSE in the school and community.

Background: The incidence of breast cancer is rising in Oman, and the disease is diagnosed at late stages, when treatment success is limited. Omani women might benefit from better awareness, so that breast cancer can be detected early and treated. This study was conducted to assess Omani women's levels of breast cancer awareness and early detection practice, and explore factors which might influence these levels. Materials and Methods: A mixed methods study was conducted in 2014, including a quantitative survey of 1,372 and a qualitative assessment of 19 Omani women, aged ≥20 years from five Omani governorates using convenient sampling. Demographic information and scores for awareness levels were used in a multivariate regression model to investigate factors associated with awareness. Thematic analysis and interpretive description were used to analyse the qualitative data. Results: The overall means for early detection and general awareness scores were 0.58 (SD 0.24) and 0.46 (SD 0.21), respectively. General awareness was significantly associated with age, education, income and familiarity with cancer patients (p<0.05), while early detection was significantly associated with age, marital status and education. A majority of women (59.5%) agreed with a belief in 'evil eye' or envy as a risk factor for breast cancer. Women discussed various factors which may empower or inhibit awareness, including the cultural-religion-fatalistic system, personal-familial-environmental system, and healthcare-political-social system. Conclusions: The overall low scores for awareness and early detection, and the survey of local beliefs highlight a severe necessity for a contextually-tailored breast cancer awareness intervention programme in Oman.
