| Summary, etc. | Abstract:<br/><br/>Background and Objectives: Breast self-examination is one of the most cost effective methods of screening breast cancer in asymptomatic patients. It effectiveness depends on the knowledge and practices among women. When there is adequate knowledge on breast self-examination among women it will facilitate its practices hence bring about early diagnosis of breast cancer which will lead to early intervention and reduced complications resulting from the disease. Objectives of this study were to assess the knowledge and practices of breast self-examination among female students at St Augustine students 2019 Mwanza. <br/><br/>Methods: A cross sectional institutional based study was conducted at St. Augustine University located in Nyamagana district involved 185 female students from September 2019 to February 2020. A systematic stratified random sampling technique was used to select participants from each faculty. <br/><br/>Results: Majority of the participants were aged between 19 and 25 years with the mean age of 22.17. Most of them 162 (87.6%) were still single while 23 (12.4%) were married. 96 (51.9%) of the participants had an intermediate level of knowledge, 79 (42.7%) had high knowledge and 10 (5.4%) had low knowledge about BSE. The participants main source of information was mass media 83 (44.9%) followed by health workers 68 (36.8%). 112 (60.5%) of participants had ever performed BSE but only (4 (3.2%) practice regular (monthly), 7 (5.9%) once after every 3 months, 59 (53.5%) perform BSE when they think of BSE, 42 (37.3%) don’t know how often do they perform BSE. <br/><br/>Conclusion: The findings highlight the current knowledge gap that exists in the practice of BSE in prevention of breast cancer in the study population, considering the substantial role that can be played by BSE, these findings suggest an urgent need for interventions to implement and re-enforce existing cancer awareness and cancer screening programs. <br/><br/><br/> |
