The present study examined compliance with the three recommended breast self-examination (BSE) positions over a 6-month follow-up period. An ongoing behavioral measure that provided information about the type of exam performed during each BSE occasion was employed. Results indicated that adherence to all three position types was obtained in only 40% of the exams. Forty-two percent of exams were comprised of only one position, with the supine position being the most frequently practiced exam type. Implications of these results with regard to BSE research and current breast cancer screening recommendations are discussed.
本研究在6个月的随访期内，对三种推荐的乳房自我检查（BSE）姿势的依从性进行了检测。采用了一种持续的行为测量方法，该方法可提供每次乳房自我检查时所进行的检查类型的信息。结果显示，仅40%的检查采用了所有三种姿势类型。42%的检查仅采用了一种姿势，其中仰卧位是最常采用的检查类型。本文讨论了这些结果对乳房自我检查研究和当前乳腺癌筛查建议的意义。
