本研究的目的是评估受试者培训对参加公共教育中心的妇女的乳房自我检查（BSE）和乳腺癌知识水平的影响。本研究按照前测-后测、一组研究的原则进行结构设计。这项研究涉及91个课程参加者在埃尔津坎公共教育中心（73.4%）。研究对象的平均年龄为21.4 +/- 5.4。在研究的91名参与者中，3.3%（n = 3）有乳腺癌家族史，5.5%（n = 5）乳房有肿块。前测问题的正确回答率在13.2%~ 68.1%之间。培训后，正确答案的比率增加到79.1%和96.7%之间，参与者表现出他们对乳腺癌（健康风险，易感性）的信念的准确性增加。自我效能感是行为改变过程中的一个重要变量，是改变和维持BSE实践的必要组成部分。这项工作和其他人的结果表明，由护士管理的教育可以增加对疯牛病自我效能的积极看法。BSE教育很容易管理，不需要特殊工具，如果定期进行，可以导致乳腺癌的早期诊断，应该向所有20岁及以上的妇女教授。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of subject training on the level of knowledge about breast self-examination (BSE) and breast cancer in women attending a public education centre. This research was structured according to pre-test-post test, one group research design principles. The study involved 91 course attendees at the Erzincan Public Education Centre (73.4%). The average age of study subjects was 21.4 +/- 5.4. Of the 91 participants in the study, 3.3% (n = 3) had a family history of breast cancer and 5.5% (n = 5) have had a lump in their breasts. In pre-test questions, the rate of correct answers was between 13.2% and 68.1%. After training, the rate of correct answers increased to between 79.1% and 96.7% and attendees demonstrated an increase in the accuracy of their beliefs about breast cancer (health risk, susceptibility). The perception of self-efficacy, an important variable in the process of behaviour change, is a necessary component of changing and maintaining the practice of BSE. The results of this work and others demonstrate that education administered by nurses can increase positive perceptions about BSE self-efficacy. Education in BSE is easily administered, requires no special tools, could lead to early diagnosis of breast cancer if performed regularly and should be taught to all women aged 20 years and above.
