Abstract

This study aimed to describe the prevalence of breast self-examination practices (BSE) and barriers to BSE among women in Tien Phuong commune, Chuong My District, Ha Noi city in 2020. A structured questionnaire was used to interview 353 women. The majority of the participants (70.9%) reported no symptoms of breast-related disease. A little less than half of the participants reported performing some BSE (47.5%), 60.4% did not know how to do BSE, and only 3.7% correctly performed BSE. Univariate analysis showed that literacy, career, and number of children were significantly associated with the practice of breast self-examination. In conclusion, it is recommended to have public health education programs to raise awareness of breast cancer and BSE.
