An Examination on the Knowledge Level of Breast Self-Examination of the Patients Who Apply to a University Hospital

Abstract

Objective: The main aim of this study is to examine the knowledge level of women on breast cancer who admitted to the outpatient clinics of Obstetrics and Gynecology and General Surgery of University Hospital.

Materials and Methods: The universe is formed by the patients that have applied to the clinics of Obstetrics and Gynecology and General Surgery of the University Hospital within the dates of June-July 2016. Within this study data was collected by the Champion’s Health Belief Model Scales (CHBMS) and a total of 351 participants were reached.

Results: The 43.6% of the sample consists of women of 20-29 ages, 71% of them are married and 27.4% of them have either an undergraduate or a post graduate degree. The perceived benefits concept has the most mean out of the 6 concepts in CHBMS. The study also showed that although 79.2% of the participants didn’t have a breast problem; 27.6 % of them said that they would do breast self-examine 3-4 times in a year.
