背景
乳腺癌是发展中国家妇女的主要癌症之一，在早期阶段预防或识别这种疾病对于挽救和提高生活质量至关重要。乳房健康意识似乎是一种务实的方法。
客观化
确定训练有素的女卫生工作者对农村妇女乳房健康意识教育干预方案的可接受性和有效性。
设置和设计
以社区为基础的非随机教育干预研究，为期一年。360名年龄在30-59岁之间的农村妇女被随机挑选(并按年龄分层)，来自印度南部的一个沿海村庄。
方法
由经过专门培训的卫生工作者对妇女进行有关乳房健康和乳房自我检查的教育，并在干预后1个月和3个月末评估她们的认识和熟练程度。
统计分析
这是使用社会科学统计资料包第10版完成的。
结果
在教育干预后，观察到对乳腺癌的总体认识显著提高(z=-15.807；P<；0.001)以及对乳房进行自我检查的表现(93%)。健忘或太忙似乎是最常被察觉的两个障碍。
结论
这项研究清楚地表明，以社区为导向、强调适当技术的教育干预方案可以给妇女带来令人满意的行为改变。
BACKGROUND
Breast cancer being one of the leading cancers among women in developing countries, prevention or identification of the disease at an early stage is of paramount importance in saving as well as improving the quality of life. Breast health awareness appears to be a pragmatic method for this.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the acceptability and effectiveness of an educational intervention programme on breast health awareness for rural women by trained female health workers.
SETTINGS AND DESIGN
Community based non-randomised educational intervention study carried out over a period of 1 year. Three hundred and sixty rural women in the age group 30--59 years were randomly selected (and age-wise stratified), from a coastal village in Southern India.
METHODS
Women were educated on breast health and breast self-examination by specifically trained health workers and their awareness and proficiency levels were evaluated at the end of 1 and 3 months post-intervention.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
This was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 10.
RESULTS
Following the educational intervention, a significant increase in overall awareness regarding breast cancer (z=-15.807; P< 0.001) as well as in the performance of self-examination of the breast 321/342 (93%) was observed. Forgetfulness or being too busy appeared to be the two most frequently perceived barriers.
CONCLUSION
This study clearly shows that a community oriented educational intervention programme emphasizing on proper technique can bring about the desirable behavioural change among women.
