Breast self-examination training: a brief review.

Abstract:

:A review of the literature on breast self-examination training indicated that any training in breast self-examination improves compliance, confidence, and proficiency; the evidence is unclear about the relative effectiveness of group or individual training; practice on breast models and on the woman's own breasts should be included in breast self-examination training; additional training sessions improve compliance and proficiency; reminders increase compliance, but the effect ceases when the reminders cease; and it is particularly important for older women to search their breasts slowly and thoroughly. Several other new approaches to breast self-examination training are discussed.
