The latest data of 2021 depicts that breast cancer most frequently diagnosed in women ages 65 to 74 followed by young adult ages 15 to 39. The first noticeable symptom of breast cancer is a lump that feels different from the rest of the breast tissues. Breast Self-Examination is one of the best techniques to find any lump or nodule at initial stage. The present study aimed to teach breast self-examination technique to young girls.
Methodology: The quasi-experimental research design was adopted to achieve study objectives. Simple systematic randomization sampling technique was followed to select 60 senior secondary school girls as study participants. Self-structured questionnaire administered to senior secondary school girls and pre and post-test were evaluated to assess effectiveness of video-assisted teaching programme regarding breast self-examination.
Results: Paired t-test computed pre-test (X = 12.43, SD = 3.18) and post-test (X = 23.15, SD = 3.04) values and found statistically significant difference (t = 23.66, df = 59) at 0.05 level of significance. Hence, study results revealed that video assisted teaching programme regarding Breast self-examination was significantly effective among senior secondary school girls.
Conclusion: After the detailed analysis, this study leads to the conclusion that senior secondary school girls do have a dire need to get awareness regarding breast cancer and breast self-examination to promote regular self-check for any type breast change.
