摘要
妇女中最常见的癌症形式是沙特阿拉伯王国的乳腺癌。因此,这项研究的目的是根据沙特阿拉伯地区的妇女在她们的知识,态度和实践(KAP)上评估有关乳房自我检查(BSE)的妇女。该研究进行了横截面,并于2023年10月从2023年10月至2024年6月至2024年6月在沙特阿拉伯的Asir Province。 知识; 185(46.6%)的态度积极,212(53.4%)的态度为24(6%)的良好实践373(94%)在乳房BSE方面的实践差。根据研究参与者,社交媒体,204(51.4%),广播,电视和报纸是了解BSE的最佳场所。在这项研究中,有316(79.6%)听说过BSE。 230(57.9%)表示,乳腺癌患者的生存可能性随早期检测而增加。只有231(58.2%)和247(62.2%)同意,乳腺癌分别由乳房的颜色和形状变化和乳房的缩回/排出。在147个月经后仅一周后,在147个(16.3%)中进行了自我检查。单个(OR = 6.259; 95%CI = 1.790-21.887,p = 0.004)并已婚(OR = 4.923; 95%CI = 1.509-16.056,p = 0.008),单个(OR = 2.736; 95%CI = 1.248-6.000,P = 0.011 and p = 0.012)和已婚(或已婚) CI = 1.734-5.817,p = 0.00)分别与BSE的良好知识和态度显着相关。 Illiterates (OR = 0.233; 95% CI = 0.060-0.895, p = 0.034), pre-university (OR = 0.222; 95% CI = 0.092-0.538, p = 0.001), Illiterates (OR = 0.293; 95% CI = 0.114-0.755, p = 0.011), pre-university (OR = 0.462; 95%CI = 0.271-0.788,p = 0.005)与受过大学和大学教育相比,具有良好知识和态度的可能性较小。该研究表明,在BSE中,很少有女性具有良好的知识,态度和实践。在这项研究中,与知识和实践相比,态度水平很高。但是,有94%的人从未实践过。强烈建议将重点放在改善有关BSE的妇女KAP,以及大学中的BSE教育计划以及更多社区服务活动(例如公共场所的健康运动)。
Abstract
The most common form of cancer among women is breast cancer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate women in Saudi Arabia's Asir Region, on their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding breast self-examination (BSE).The research was carried out cross-sectional and conducted from October 2023 to June 2024 in Saudi Arabia's Asir province.Out of 397 study participants, 89 (22.4%) had good knowledge, and 308 (77.6%) had poor knowledge; 185 (46.6%) had a positive attitude, and 212 (53.4%) had a negative attitude 24 (6%) had good practice 373 (94%) had poor practice about breast BSE. According to study participants, social media, 204 (51.4%), radio, television, and newspapers were the best places to learn about BSE. In this study, 316 (79.6%) had heard of BSE. 230 (57.9%) stated that breast cancer patient's likelihood of survival increases with early detection. Only 231 (58.2%) and 247 (62.2%) agreed that breast cancer is indicated by changes in the color and shape of the breast and retraction/discharge of the breasts, respectively. Out of 147, 24 (16.3%) self-examined just one week after each menstruation. Single (OR = 6.259; 95% CI = 1.790-21.887, p = 0.004) and married (OR = 4.923; 95% CI = 1.509-16.056, p = 0.008), Single (OR = 2.736; 95% CI = 1.248-6.000, p = 0.012) and married (OR = 3.176; 95% CI = 1.734-5.817, p = 0.00) were significantly associated with good knowledge and attitude of BSE, respectively. Illiterates (OR = 0.233; 95% CI = 0.060-0.895, p = 0.034), pre-university (OR = 0.222; 95% CI = 0.092-0.538, p = 0.001), Illiterates (OR = 0.293; 95% CI = 0.114-0.755, p = 0.011), pre-university (OR = 0.462; 95% CI = 0.271-0.788, p = 0.005) are less likely to have good knowledge and attitude compared to college and university educated.The study revealed that few women have good knowledge, attitudes, and practices among BSE. In this study, attitude level is high in comparison to knowledge and practice. However, 94% never practiced at all. It is strongly advised that a focus be placed on improving women's KAP regarding BSE, as well as BSE educational programs in universities and more community service activities such as health campaigns in public places.
