简要总结
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality among women worldwide, especially in developing countries like India, where late detection is common due to low awareness. This quasi-experimental study aims to evaluate the impact of training on knowledge and skills related to Breast Self-Examination (BSE) among women living in an urban slum community in Delhi
The study’s primary objective is to assess changes in women’s knowledge and skills on performing BSE after a training session using a dummy breast model. Secondary objectives include measuring overall breast cancer knowledge and examining associations between knowledge, attitudes, practices regarding BSE, and socio-demographic factors.
The study will involve women over 20 years old from the Delhi Gate slum area, selected through systematic random sampling. Data collection includes pre- and post-training assessments through interviews and observation checklists. Training will involve health education via videos, presentations, and practical demonstrations with standardized models.
Expected outcomes include increased awareness and proficiency in BSE, identification of knowledge gaps, and understanding socio-demographic influences on BSE practices. The study seeks to empower women for early breast cancer detection, inform health education programs, and guide policy development for underserved populations.
