- W2752354977 abstract "Background: Carcinoma of the breast is an important public healthproblem in Nigeria and studies have reported low levels of awarenessand practice of breast self examination as an important method ofprevention. Breast self examination is a cost-effective method of earlydetection of cancer of the breast especially in resource poorcountries. We assessed knowledge and practice of breast-selfexamination (BSE) among female undergraduate students of Ahmadu BelloUniversity Zaria, Nigeria. Method: In this study, knowledge andpractice of BSE were examined among 221 female students aged 16 –28 years old studying at Ahmadu Bello University Zaria using selfadministered questionnaires. Results:It was found that despitenearly three quarter of the respondents (87.7%) had heard of BSE, only19.0% of them were performing this examination monthly. Regarding thesources of information about BSE among respondents, media was found tobe most common followed by health workers accounting for 45.5% and32.2% respectively. Regular performance of BSE was significantlycorrelated with duration of stay in the University (X2 = 81.9, df = 3,P < .05) and family history of breast cancer (X2 = 17.4, df = 2, P< .05). Conclusion: We observed a disparity between high levels ofknowledge of BSE compared to a low level of practice. Public healtheducation using the media could significantly reduce the knowledge-practice gap and early detection of breast lump." @default.
