Abstract

BACKGROUND

Breast Cancer has been known to be the most common cancer and second principal cause of cancer death in women. However, the adherence to recommended breast cancer screening guidelines is low especially in Africa.

OBJECTIVE

It may be necessary to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of breast cancer screening among nurses who are in good position to educate people.

METHODS

A cross sectional study of 183 nurses was carried out in Lagos University Teaching Hospital, using a close ended questionnaire assessing information on demographic variables, awareness, knowledge and attitude towards breast cancer.

RESULTS

The results revealed 100% rate of awareness of breast cancer although 32% of the respondents knew not that breast cancer could be inherited. The major source (76%) of their information about breast cancer was from health professionals. Among the respondents 96% knew self breast examination while 41% knew clinical breast examination as screening method. Eighty two percent of the respondents thought self breast examination should be carried out monthly while very few subscribed to clinical breast examination.

CONCLUSION

The studied population has good knowledge of breast cancer, its symptoms and screening methods. However, they lack adequate knowledge of the risk factors and only few practiced clinical breast examination. Thus, there is need for educational intervention to enhance knowledge of the risk factors and the need for clinical breast examination.

摘要

背景

乳腺癌一直是女性中最常见的癌症,也是癌症死亡的第二大主要原因。然而,尤其是在非洲,对推荐的乳腺癌筛查指南的依从性很低。

目的

评估处于教育民众有利位置的护士对乳腺癌筛查的知识、态度和实践情况可能是必要的。

方法

在拉各斯大学教学医院对183名护士进行了一项横断面研究,使用一份封闭式问卷评估有关人口统计学变量、对乳腺癌的知晓度、知识和态度的信息。

结果

结果显示乳腺癌知晓率为100%,尽管32%的受访者不知道乳腺癌可能是遗传性的。他们关于乳腺癌的信息的主要来源(76%)是卫生专业人员。在受访者中,96%知道自我乳房检查,而41%知道临床乳房检查作为筛查方法。82%的受访者认为应每月进行自我乳房检查,而很少有人赞成临床乳房检查。

结论

研究人群对乳腺癌、其症状和筛查方法有良好的了解。然而,他们对风险因素缺乏足够的了解,只有少数人进行临床乳房检查。因此,需要进行教育干预以增强对风险因素的认识以及对临床乳房检查的必要性的认识。
