Abstract

Abstract- Breast cancer in women is a major health burden both in developed and developing countries. It is the second leading cause of death in women worldwide. Recent global cancer statistics show that global incidence is rising fast, especially in developing countries like India. Still breast cancer is not on top of the priority list for the policy makers, donors and health professionals. But the prevailing situation can be more devastated if early attention is not given. To concentrate on this fast growing health problem we need to know the overall situation concerning incidence, prevalence, risk group, diagnostic and treatment status survival and mortality rate first there is a need to make a comprehensive policy to cope with breast cancer situation in India. The proposed study is designed to assess the knowledge regarding early detection and prevention of breast cancer among women’s of selected area, gonda. Their level of knowledge will reflect or give us an idea about the mass general population. Data will be collected by a self-administered questionnaire. Objectives of the study • To assess the Knowledge of women’s regarding breast cancer. • To assess the practice of women’s regarding prevention of breast cancer • To find out the association between the knowledge and practice scores of women’s with selected demographic variables. • To develop self-instructional module. Methods A one group pre-test post-test pre-experimental research design was used for the study. Self-prepared knowledge questionnaire was administered to 50 nun sisters based on non-probability purposive sampling technique in selected area, gonda. Results Results shows that highest percentage (74%) of the sample had average level of knowledge, 24% of the sample had poor knowledge, and 2% had good knowledge regarding breast cancer in pre-test, whereas highest percentage 68% had average level of knowledge and 32% had good knowledge in the post-test. Paired ‘t’ test was used to compare the pre-test and post-test scores of women’s on early detection and prevention of breast cancer. Findings revealed that the mean post-test scores of women’s were significantly higher than their mean pre-test scores. The calculated ‘t’ value was greater than the table value at 0.05 level of significance. Hence the null hypothesis was rejected indicating that the gain in knowledge of women’s through the administration of self-instructional module on breast cancer was significant. Chi-square computed between mean pre-test knowledge scores and selected variables showed that there was no significant association between the knowledge scores and demographic variables except for educational status (χ2 =13.6, P<0.05).Interpretation and conclusion On the basis of the findings of the study, 78% of women’s had average level of knowledge regarding early detection and prevention of breast cancer and also the study revealed that the SIM on early detection and prevention of breast cancer was highly effective.
