摘要

本调查旨在评估巴基斯坦开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省斯瓦比地区的学校教师对乳腺癌及其筛查方法的知识和实践情况。材料和方法本调查是一项横断面调查,使用自行设计、验证和翻译的22项问卷,于2020年2月在斯瓦比地区的177名公立学校女教师中分发。利用有目的的抽样方法对巴基斯坦开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省(KP)进行调查。排除私立学校教师和不完整的问卷回答。将年龄、教育状况、婚姻状况和问卷等基线信息记录在打印的表格上,并使用SPSS-23进行分析。结果177例患者均为女性,年龄22 ~ 60岁,平均年龄36±9.37岁。参与者的学历从硕士到博士不等,已婚教师的数量是未婚教师的2倍左右。大多数受访者(95%)通过新闻、媒体、互联网、书籍或朋友和家人等各种渠道了解乳腺癌。近一半的受访者听说过疯牛病,约64%的人意识到它的重要性。大约40%的人意识到疯牛病应该从青春期开始到30岁。大约70%的参与者认为疯牛病是预防乳腺癌的好方法。大约60%的人听说过乳房x光检查,其中大多数人认为这是预防乳腺癌的有效工具。大多数研究参与者通过电子和印刷媒体获得乳腺癌知识,70%的人知道疯牛病,而少数人知道乳房x光检查。这说明学校的女教师在乳腺癌的检测和预防方面有足够的知识和实践,她们的教育水平较高。关键词:乳腺癌,乳腺癌筛查,乳腺x线摄影
