约旦护士乳房自我检查的知识和实践。本文是一项研究报告，以评估约旦护士在乳房自我检查方面的知识和实践。研究表明，了解乳房自我检查的妇女对乳腺癌有积极的态度，并更频繁地进行乳房自我检查，并且那些向病人传授早期检测和乳房自我检查方法的护士比那些不这样做的护士更了解乳腺癌筛查和乳房自我检查技术。因此，了解护士对乳腺癌的知识和早期发现是很重要的。采用横断面设计，在约旦的三个大城市的347名注册护士的方便样本（响应率95%）。数据收集于2005年进行，使用自我管理的问卷调查，包括三个部分，并基于美国癌症协会的指南：人口统计学，知识和乳房自我检查的实践。2.7）。在过去的12个月里，有很高比例的护士（85%）报告进行了乳房自我检查，但只有17.7%的护士报告每月进行乳房自我检查。没有人口统计学特征被发现与乳房自我检查的做法，需要更多的健康教育每月乳房自我检查和预防策略的护士和他们的女病人，特别是阿拉伯妇女。
Jordanian nurses' knowledge and practice of breast self-examination.This paper is a report of a study to evaluate the knowledge and practice of Jordanian nurses in relation to breast self-examination.Studies have shown that women who have learned about breast self-examination have positive attitudes toward breast cancer and practise breast self-examination more frequently, and that nurses who teach their clients about methods of early detection and breast self-examination are more knowledgeable about breast cancer screening and breast self-examination techniques than those who do not. Therefore, it is important to understand nurses' knowledge about breast cancer and its early detection.A cross-sectional design was used, with a convenience sample of 347 Registered Nurses at three large cities in Jordan (response rate 95%). Data collection took place in 2005 using a self-administrated questionnaire with three parts and based on the American Cancer Society's guidelines: demographics, knowledge, and practice of breast self-examination.Nurses reported high levels of knowledge of breast self-examination (M = 7.6, sd. 2.7). A high proportion of nurses reported doing breast self-examination in the past 12 months (85%), but only 17.7% reported doing so on a monthly basis. None of the demographic characteristics was found to be associated with the practice of breast self-examination.More health education about monthly breast self-examination and prevention strategies is needed for nurses and their women patients, especially for Arabic women.
