Breast cancer has the highest incidence of all global cancers. Recent data show that breast cancer is becoming more prevalent in the younger population. Therefore, preventing breast cancer in young populations is a significant priority for public health. Relevant investigations of the incidence of breast cancer in young females have already been undertaken in China; however, none of these previous studies investigated the awareness of female college students with regards to breast cancer.
To investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of female college students in Yunnan with regards to breast cancer and a series of influential factors.
A random sample of 1387 female college students from two universities in Dali city were investigated by questionnaires.
The total KAP scores for breast cancer were 9.86 ± 2.50, 3.19 ± 2.01 and 13.31 ± 2.49, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that educational grade was the most significant influential factor underlying the level of knowledge female college students had with regards to the treatment of breast cancer ( 0.05). Registered residence and educational grade were the most significant factors that influenced attitude ( 0.05). Age, registered residence, grade and major, were the most significant factors that influenced behavior ( 0.05). The KAP of female college students in western Yunnan with regards to breast cancer were low.
There is an urgent need to provide standardized publicity and educational strategies in China to improve the knowledge, attitude, and practice, of college students with regards to breast cancer.
乳腺癌是全球所有癌症中发病率最高的。最新数据显示，乳腺癌在年轻人群中越来越普遍。因此，预防年轻人群中的乳腺癌是公共卫生的一项重要优先事项。中国已经对年轻女性乳腺癌的发病率进行了相关调查；然而，之前的这些研究都没有调查女大学生对乳腺癌的知晓情况。
调查云南女大学生对乳腺癌的知识、态度和行为（KAP）以及一系列影响因素。
通过问卷调查对大理市两所大学的1387名女大学生进行随机抽样调查。
乳腺癌的KAP总分分别为9.86±2.50、3.19±2.01和13.31±2.49。多元线性回归分析表明，学历是女大学生乳腺癌治疗知识水平的最显著影响因素（P<0.05）。户籍和学历是影响态度的最显著因素（P<0.05）。年龄、户籍、年级和专业是影响行为的最显著因素（P<0.05）。滇西女大学生对乳腺癌的KAP较低。
中国迫切需要提供标准化的宣传教育策略，以提高大学生对乳腺癌的知识、态度和行为。
