Abstract:
Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (Clinical Psychology) in the Department of Psychology University of Zululand, South Africa, 2011.
The main purpose of the study was to investigate whether female high school learners are knowledgeable of and practise breast self examination. The pre-measurement and postmeasurement single group design was used to ascribe differences between the pre- and postmeasurements to the experimental intervention. The sample was focused on two groups: multiracial (n = 56) and rural high school (n = 71) learners. These two groups were interviewed using a structured questionnaire (Pillay, 2002) assessing their knowledge and practice regarding breast self examination. The age range of the participants was between 14 and 21 years with a mean age of 16.65 years. Results showed that more than half (62.9%) of the total sample were aware of breast self examination. Older learners in higher grades were more knowledgeable about breast self examination than those who were younger and doing lower grades. Of those learners who were aware of breast self examination, 57.5% practiced BSE. Breast cancer awareness programme that was provided during the study had a great impact on the responses of the learners. Knowledge of BSE had a significant improvement. Public health education is a factor that impacts on young women’s knowledge and understanding of breast cancer. Based on these young women’s responses, it has been concluded that current public health education is either not communicating its message or failing to reach enough women. Based on this assumption and the knowledge that most breast awareness campaigns are aimed at older women, it is recommended that an important improvement may be to target women at younger ages to educate them about what is normal or not, and what they should know and be aware of regarding their bodies.

Abstract:
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women in the United States. Several factors have been identified that interfere with women's breast cancer screening practices, including lack of knowledge and confidence in the breast self-examination (BSE) technique, and lack of information provided by health care provider. One of the reasons nurses do not teach breast cancer detection could be the little emphasis given to breast cancer examination in nursing schools. The BSE is a measure of significant value in detecting cancer of the breast. However, less than half of the women in the United States are participating in breast cancer screening. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the relationship between the freshman and senior nursing students' breast cancer knowledge (BCK) and breast self-examination technique confidence (BSE_TC). An online survey was administered to measure the students' BCK and their BSE_TC. The social cognitive theory guided this study. A sample 100 nursing students (54 senior and 46 freshman) were included for hypothesis testing. The study results indicate that senior nursing students had higher mean scores on the BCK and BSE_TC, as would be expected. However, senior nursing students' BCK_BSE_TC scores were also very low. This is a concern for the future of breast cancer detection. This study provides data showing breast cancer screening concepts are unclear to freshman students, and remain unclear with senior students. Nursing educational curricula in breast cancer screening should be revised to affect improvements in nurses' role in advising and educating patients.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between psychosocial correlates (big 5 personality traits, dispositional optimism, the Health Belief Model, breast cancer fear, mammography self efficacy, and social support) and breast self examination (BSE) and mammography in breast cancer-free women. In order to measure the social support of the participants, the MOS social support survey was adapted to Turkish culture in the scope of study 1. The sample of the study 1 included 241 participants. The analyses showed that Turkish version of the MOS social support survey had satisfactory psychometric properties. The sample of the study 2 was composed of 230 asymptomatic women for breast cancer. Independent samples t-test results indicated that among the Health Belief Model notions, perceived benefit, barrier, confidence, and health motivation significantly differentiated women who practiced BSE and who did not. However, the HBM notions were not able to differentiate women who had mammography and who did not have. Instead, social support significantly clarified the difference between v women who had mammography and women who did not have. Two hierarchical logistic regression analyses were carried out for BSE and mammography. Big 5 personality traits and dispositional optimism were entered at the first step. The HBM factors and self efficacy were entered at the second step. Breast cancer fear was added at the third step
and for the last step social support measures were added to the equation. For BSE, hierarchical logistic regression yielded no significant predictors but BSE confidence and susceptibility from the HBM. For mammography, the hierarchical logistic analysis resulted that only functional support, which was entered at the fourth step was significant. The strengths and limitations, as well as the implications of the findings, were discussed.

Abstract:
A quasi-experimental design was used in this study to determine if guided practice would result in higher breast cancer knowledge scores, higher breast self-examination (BSE) knowledge scores and higher intent to practice scores then modeling alone or teaching without modeling or guided practice. Fifty-eight women participated in the study. There were 19 women in the guided practice group, 22 in the modeling group and 17 in the control group. A pre-test, post-test format was used. ANCOVA was used to statistically control for the variance in pre-test scores. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze demographic data. The results showed that all methods of teaching resulted in higher breast cancer and BSE knowledge scores and in higher intent to practice scores. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups. Nursing research need to continue in this area to find the most effective method of teaching women breast self-examination.

Abstract:
The focus of the research study was breast selfexamination. A randomized sample of 400 women living in Fort Wayne, Indiana and employed by a large corporation were surveyed to determine the relationship between frequency of breast self-examination and Health Belief Model variables. Susceptibility, seriousness, benefits, barriers and health motivation were measured by scales developed by Champion (1984). The instrument had been tested for reliability and validity.The variable of exercise was examined to determine if a relationship existed between exercise and frequency of breast self-examination. Individual items measured the frequency of breast self-examination and the methods of instruction.Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the variables of barriers and seriousness accounted for 27% of the variance for prediction of breast selfexamination. An insignificant Chi Square was obtained for the relationship between exercise and breast selfexamination. No demographic variables evidenced significance with breast self-examination.The findings of the study evidenced a relationship between the Health Belief Model and breast self-examination, thus supporting the theoretical framework of the study.

Abstract:
Two hundred and three patients participated in a study designed to evaluate a structured learning package for teaching competent breast self-examination (BSE) at a Screening Center. The package consisted of modeling, practice without feedback on a breast model, and limited practice and feedback on the patients' own breasts. Performance proficiency was evaluated by an observer as the number of BSE's steps correctly practiced during pre and post-training evaluations. A questionnaire to gather information about patients history, knowledge, and attitudes toward BSE and breast cancer was also used. Results show that more than 80% of the patients who could improve did so in most steps of both components, visual inspection and palpation. In addition, only 31% of the patients performed a perfect and complete BSE immediately after the teaching session. The two steps patients failed the most were checking the axillary-tail and covering the complete breast. A corrective procedure to improve the teaching package is discussed.

The aim of the study is to assess the connection between women’s participation in breast cancer screening and beliefs towards breast cancer, breast self-examination and mammography. The objectives of the study: 1. To assess validity and reliability of Champion Health Belief Model Scale for beliefs towards breast cancer, breast self-examination and mammography screening for Lithuanian women. 2. To estimate perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, confidence and health motivation. 3. To compare beliefs towards breast cancer, breast self-examination and mammography screening of participant and non-participant women in the screening program. 4. To assess perceived barriers towards mammography screening. 5. To investigate the role of information about breast cancer and mammography screening for women‘s beliefs towards breast cancer, breast self-examination and mammography screening. CONCLUSIONS 1. Champion Health Belief Model Scale is a valid and reliable to assess beliefs towards breast cancer, breast self- examination and mammography. The barriers- mammography item “Regular mammography screening would make me worry about breast cancer” was inappropriate to the scale and expunged from the questionnaire. 2. Surveyed women did not feel much threat to get breast cancer. They overvalued benefits of breast self-examination and positively rated mammography screening.

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech (Nursing))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2015.
The most common cancer in women worldwide is breast cancer. It is also the leading cancer affecting women in South Africa. When breast cancer is detected early, it improves the outcome of the disease and reduces mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge, beliefs, attitude and practice of breast self-examination among female university students. The objectives were, to explore the levels of knowledge of female university students on breast cancer and breast self-examination; to ascertain the beliefs of female university students on breast cancer and breast self-examination; to examine the attitudes of female university students toward breast cancer and breast self-examination and to determine if female university students regularly practice breast self-examination. A Mixed method descriptive design was used for this study. The selected site for this study was a higher education institution in the Western Cape. The population included all female university students in the Western Cape. The sample was female university students studying in the selected higher education institution who reside on the institution’s campus. Convenience sampling was used to select the sample. Two methods were used to collect data; these were questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. Questionnaires were analysed by the use of Microsoft Excel and Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Frequency Distribution was used to analyse descriptive statistics. Interviews were transcribed and analysed by using coding and thematic analysis. Participants lacked knowledge on breast cancer risk factors, as majority of them only knew about family history being a risk factor. Majority of the participants had never been educated by their healthcare provider on breast cancer and its screening. Most of the participants had never examined their breast before. Most of the participants who did not examine their breast did not have any knowledge on how to do BSE. Education on breast cancer and cancer as a whole should be initiated in high schools and higher institutions of learning as part of their curriculum. Posters on breast cancer screening and breast self-examination should be put up at public places and campuses. Breast awareness campaigns must be done every month not only in October which is the breast cancer awareness month. Health care professionals should give information on breast cancer to women when they visit the hospital or health centre

Abstract:
This paper is a test of several hypothesized predictors of frequency of breast self-examination among low-income Mexican American women. Current research points to several factors as important predictors of preventive care. Among these are self-efficacy – one’s perceived capacity to perform a given action – and social support from significant others. For Mexican Americans, environmental barriers to health care are important factors. While findings are inconclusive regarding the role of language proficiency as a predictor of preventive care, the model includes this as a hypothesized predictor of frequency of breast self-examination. The findings show a strong relationship between self-efficacy and frequency of breast self-examination. Barriers to health care have a weaker direct effect upon breast self-examination. The effects of English-language proficiency are indirect and mediated by self-efficacy.

Abstract:
Background: Breast self-examination (BSE) is a technique that allows a woman to examine her breast tissue for any physical or visual changes. It is important to help women in the early detection of breast abnormality. This study aimed to determine factors affecting breast self examination among university students using health belief model and theory of planned behavior. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Universitas Sebelas Maret, from August to September 2019. A sample of 200 female collage students was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was breast-self examination. The independent variables were knowledge, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, intention, attitude, self-efficacy, cues to action, and subjective norm. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis run on Stata 13. Results: BSE was directly increased by strong intention (b= 1.39; 95% CI= 0.58 to 2.21; p= 0.001), strong self-efficacy (b= 1.53; 95% CI= 0.75 to 2.30; p<0.001), and strong cues to action (b= 1.34; 95% CI= 0.56 to 2.11; p= 0.001). BSE was indirectly affected by attitude, cues to action, perceived barrier, perceived benefit, subjective norm, and knowledge. Conclusion: BSE was directly increased by strong intention (b= 1.39; 95% CI= 0.58 to 2.21; p= 0.001), strong self-efficacy (b= 1.53; 95% CI= 0.75 to 2.30; p<0.001), and strong cues to action (b= 1.34; 95% CI= 0.56 to 2.11; p= 0.001).
