Breast and cervical cancer cases are rising among service and industrial women workers in Vietnam. We conducted a cross-sectional study among 287 workers in three factories in Hanoi and Bac Ninh from July to September 2018 to describe the knowledge of these cancers among industrial workers in Northern Vietnam using a structured questionnaire. Factors associated with knowledge of breast and cervical cancer were identified using generalized linear models (GLM). In our study, approximately one-third of participants believed breast cancer was caused by the lack of breastfeeding, exposure to pollution, and chemicals. Less than 50% knew about sexually transmitted infections that can cause cervical cancer or were aware of a vaccine for cervical cancer. Having one sexual partner within the last year was positively associated with having a higher score of knowledge for both diseases. Receiving a medical checkup within the last 12 months and seeking health information via the internet were related to greater breast cancer knowledge. Targeted education campaigns are needed to ensure proper knowledge and improve awareness of breast cancer and cervical cancer among industrial workers.
在越南，服务业和工业女性工人的乳腺癌和宫颈癌病例正在上升。我们于 2018 年 7 月至 9 月在河内和北宁的三家工厂对 287 名工人进行了一项横断面研究，使用结构化问卷描述了越南北部工业工人对这些癌症的了解情况。使用广义线性模型（GLM）确定与乳腺癌和宫颈癌知识相关的因素。在我们的研究中，大约三分之一的参与者认为乳腺癌是由于缺乏母乳喂养、暴露于污染和化学物质引起的。不到 50%的人知道可能导致宫颈癌的性传播感染，或知道宫颈癌疫苗。在过去一年中只有一个性伴侣与两种疾病的知识得分较高呈正相关。在过去 12 个月内接受体检和通过互联网寻求健康信息与更高的乳腺癌知识相关。需要开展有针对性的教育活动，以确保工业工人对乳腺癌和宫颈癌有适当的了解并提高认识。
