Breast cancer ranks one of the major health problems of adult women.
Studies have shown that breast self-examination(BSE) is effective in detecting breast
cancer in its early stages. To motivate women BSE practiceing, a one-group
pretest-posttest design was conducted. The subjects of the study were 48 women who
participated the educational program of BSE holding the member of mothers in S middle
school at Taegu City. The instruments of study were BSE frequency & proficiency
recording chart and diabetes self-efficacy scale developed by Hurley(1989). The data of
study which was collected from November 14 in 1996 to April 30 in 1997 was analyzed
with SAS program.
The results were summarized as follows :
1) BSE frequency scores in posttest was significantly increased after the intervention
as contrasted with that in pretest(t=1.24, P<0.01).
2) BSE proficiency scores in posttest was significantly increased after the intervention
as contrasted with that in pretest(t=1.73, P<0.001).
3) BSE self-efficacy scores in posttest was significantly increased after the
intervention as contrasted with that in pretest(t=11.39, P<0.001).
4) Pearson correlation coeffcient between BSE frequency scores and BSE self-efficacy
scores in posttest was significant(r=0.66, P<0.001).
On the basis of this study, it can be concluded that the breast self-examination
education is improved BSE compliance & self-efficacy.
