Factors affecting women to practise breast self-examination.

Abstract:

:The aim of the study was to identify factors of decisive importance for women's motivation to perform breast self-examination (BSE), which could form the basis of an intervention programme. Interviews were conducted in 1994 with 48 women focusing on four different areas: 1) why the women examined did not examine their breasts, 2) the influence of their upbringing, 3) information or education previously received about the method of examination, and 4) other types of self-care. The findings were summarized under the following categories: feelings, experiences, and lifestyle. Anxiety/fear of discovering a lump and faith/trust in one's own ability to perform the examination were dominating factors influencing the practice or non-practice of BSE. However, there was a general need for knowledge, theoretical as well as practical, among the women studied. They also needed help to identify a strategy to enable them to remember to perform the examination. In order to make BSE a habit, education about BSE ought to be provided to girls at school. The important role of nurses in teaching women to examine their breasts themselves and in reminding them to perform the examination was emphasized.
