摘要

乳腺癌是一种常见的癌症,也是全球女性癌症相关死亡的第二大原因。妇女可以在家里进行乳房自我检查,及早发现乳房的任何异常,使其成为一种经济、简单、有效的筛查技术。在本队列研究中,我们旨在评估大学生乳房自我检查的知识和实践。在2023年2月至2023年5月期间,我们使用在线调查工具收集信息并组织问题以满足我们的研究目标。调查结果表明,40%的被招募者对手术程序很了解,而60%的人知之甚少或一无所知。年龄对知识和实践没有显著影响(p=0.7)。妇女,特别是女学生,必须更多地了解乳腺癌,并鼓励她们定期进行乳房自我检查。通过在大学校园、中学甚至公共市场组织关于乳腺癌和早期检测方法的讲习班,可以提高认识。小册子也是提高认识的有效方法。

Awareness and Practice of Breast Self-Examination among Female Undergraduate Students
Breast cancer is a prevalent form of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women across the globe. Women can perform breast self-examination at home to detect any abnormalities in the breast early on, making it an affordable, easy, and effective screening technique. In this cohort study, we aimed to assess undergraduates' knowledge and practice of breast self-examination. Between February 2023 and May 2023, we used an online survey tool to collect information and structured the questions to meet our research objectives. Findings indicate that 40% of those recruited were knowledgeable about the procedure, while 60% had minimal or no knowledge. Age did not significantly impact knowledge and practice (p=0.7). Women, especially female students, must be more informed about breast cancer and encouraged to perform breast self-examination regularly. Raising awareness can be achieved through organizing workshops on breast cancer and early detection methods on university campuses, secondary schools, and even in public markets. Pamphlets may also be an effective method for promoting awareness.
