“…In the current research study finding, women had poor level (18.8%) of knowledge about BSE before receiving the training program that improved to 100% after the program. This is in agreement with White, & Camper, (2016) conducted a pilot study among Dominican women, reported that all women, had limited knowledge about BSE that was improved after the training program. This finding is to highlight the absence of the healthcare provider role as an educator and the deficiency in health teaching programs that raise community awareness and a need for urgent corrective actions.…”

“…Not only are SBEs useful in early detection, but they are cost-effective because women can perform these exams on their own at home. By performing SBE monthly, the chance of early detection is increased, and adherence to clinical examinations is improved [13]. However, to ensure that the practice of the SBE probe is effective, it is crucial to provide the necessary knowledge on how to perform them.…”

Self breast examination (SBE) has been recommended as an important preventative practice for the early identification of breast cancer in women. However, our understanding of women's knowledge, attitudes, and practices of self breast examination in Nicaragua is limited. In the present study, we conducted a crosssectional study of women aged 18 years and over (n=500) living in selected urban and rural areas of Nicaragua. Measures included the survey reflected knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and practices related to self breast examination. We compared these measures between women living in urban and rural areas and women aged 18-39 years and 40+ years. Using a t-test, we tested the significance of these differentials. Results indicate widespread and significant differentials in basic knowledge and behaviors on self-breast examination practices among women living in rural and urban locations in Nicaragua. Further, while younger women reported significant and lower overall knowledge about breast cancer (BC), purpose and reasons for SBE, characteristics of women who tend to be at higher risk for BC, and strategies and steps women take performing SBE compared to women who were in the 40+ age group. Study results call for location and population-specific programs and policies addressing disparities in breast cancer prevention efforts in the country.
