Abstract

Aim: This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of radiology professionals in Jordan in regard to breast cancer (BC) screening. Methods: An IRB approved, online-based study was carried out in Jordan. The participants were radiologists (n = 8) and radiographers (n = 64). Results: The results showed that although 61.8% of participants were knowledgeable about BC prevention, only 65.7% (n = 48) of respondents performed breast self-examinations (BSE) on themselves, 28.7% (n = 21) underwent clinical breast examination (CBE) and 15.1% (n = 5) underwent either diagnostic or screening mammography. Conclusion: Radiology professionals are generally aware of the benefits of BC screening and its ability to facilitate early diagnosis of BC. Although some practitioners advise their relatives to perform BSEs and attend CBE, low percentages of respondents performed BSEs themselves or undergo CBE.

放射专业人员对临床和自我乳房检查的知识、态度和行为

目的：本研究旨在评估约旦放射专业人员在乳腺癌症（BC）筛查方面的知识、态度和实践。方法：在约旦进行一项经IRB批准的在线研究。参与者是放射科医生（n=8）和放射技师（n=64）。结果：结果显示，尽管61.8%的参与者了解乳腺癌的预防，但只有65.7%（n=48）的受访者对自己进行了乳房自检（BSE），28.7%（n=21）接受了临床乳房检查（CBE），15.1%（n=5）接受了诊断或筛查乳房X光检查。结论：放射科专业人员普遍意识到BC筛查的好处及其促进BC早期诊断的能力。尽管一些从业者建议他们的亲属进行BSE并参加CBE，但很少有受访者自己进行BSE或接受CBE。
