Abstract

BACKGROUND

This study aimed to assess the recognition and understanding of breast awareness (BA) among hospital staff, a group considered influential in disseminating information about health. Compared to the traditional approach of breast self-examination (BSE), BA has gained prominence as a concept focused on early detection. The study also explored the effectiveness of an informational leaflet in conveying BA concepts.

METHODS

We conducted an online, voluntary, and anonymous questionnaire survey at St. Luke's International Hospital in Japan, where approximately 1,000 breast cancer surgeries are performed annually. The survey comprised three sections: pre-leaflet questions, the informational leaflet, and post-leaflet questions.

RESULTS

From a pool of 500 completed questionnaires, 499 were deemed suitable for the analysis. Notably, 78% of respondents were unfamiliar with "BA" before the survey. However, 89.1% expressed interest in adopting daily practices for early breast cancer detection. Following the leaflet exposure, 98.4% of respondents claimed to have understood BA, either completely or partially. The leaflet aided 93.2% of these individuals in differentiating between BA and the traditional BSE method. These outcomes remained consistent across various demographic segments such as occupation, age, and experience with breast cancer care.

CONCLUSIONS

The study underscores a concerning lack of awareness regarding BA among hospital staff within the surveyed institution. This highlights the need to engage medical professionals in promoting BA within the community. The informational leaflet proved effective in enhancing comprehension of BA across diverse groups, indicating its potential as a widely applicable educational tool. The leaflet facilitated the comprehension of BA among respondents across all demographic groups, indicating its potential for widespread utility.

摘要

背景

本研究旨在评估医院工作人员对乳房自查（BSE）的认识和理解，因为他们被认为是传播健康信息的有影响力的群体。与传统的 BSE 方法相比，乳房意识（BA）作为一种侧重于早期检测的概念已受到关注。本研究还探讨了信息传单在传达 BA 概念方面的效果。

方法

我们在日本圣卢克国际医院进行了一项在线、自愿和匿名的问卷调查，该医院每年大约进行 1000 例乳腺癌手术。该调查由三个部分组成：传单前问题、信息传单和传单后问题。

结果

从 500 份完成的问卷中，我们选择了 499 份适合分析的问卷。值得注意的是，78%的受访者在调查前不熟悉“BA”。然而，89.1%的人表示有兴趣采用日常实践进行早期乳腺癌检测。在阅读传单后，98.4%的受访者声称已经完全或部分理解了 BA。该传单帮助 93.2%的人区分了 BA 和传统的 BSE 方法。这些结果在各种人口统计学群体（如职业、年龄和乳腺癌护理经验）中是一致的。
