Breast cancer is considered one of the main types of cancer among female worldwide and in Jordan also. Early detection of it will improve the prognosis and decrease the mortality rate also. Thus, this study was conducted to assess the predictors of breast self-examination performance among Jordanian university female students. Across-sectional design was utilised in this study. A sample of 100 participants was completed the study survey (The Champion's Health Belief Model Scale). The main results or regression analysis showed that confidence (β = .71, p < .0001) and perceived barriers (β = -.061, p = .0004) were significant predictors of breast self-examination performance. In summary, other variables of Health belief model were found not be significant indicators of BSE performance in this study. However, the HBM is considered a valid framework to assess the predictors of breast self-examination knowledge, attitude, beliefs and barriers among Jordanian college female students.
乳腺癌被认为是全球女性以及约旦女性中主要的癌症类型之一。早期发现乳腺癌将改善预后并降低死亡率。因此，本研究旨在评估约旦大学生女性进行乳房自我检查的预测因素。本研究采用了横断面设计。100名参与者完成了研究调查（冠军健康信念模型量表）。主要结果或回归分析表明，信心（β = 0.71，p < 0.0001）和感知障碍（β = -0.061，p = 0.0004）是乳房自我检查行为的显著预测因素。总之，在本研究中发现健康信念模型的其他变量不是乳房自我检查行为的显著指标。然而，健康信念模型被认为是评估约旦大学女生乳房自我检查知识、态度、信念和障碍预测因素的有效框架。
