OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of health education as an intervention to promote breast self-examination in a low-resource setting.
METHODS: The quasi-experimental study was conducted from January to August 2018 in Karachi after approval by the Jinnah Sindh Medical University, and comprised women from a low resource locality and dividing them into intervention group A and control group B. Demographic data was collected using a pretested questionnaire filled through interviews. Subsequently, group A received health education regarding carcinoma of breast, importance of breast self-examination and monthly motivation through cell phone to perform self-examination. The questionnaire was again filled after 6 months of intervention. Data was analysed using SPSS 20. Group B was given the same health education sessions after the completion of the study.
RESULTS: Of the 172 subjects, there were 86(50%) in each of the two groups. In terms of demographic data, the groups were similar (p>0.05). After the intervention, group A showed significant (p<0.001) improvement in knowledge and practice of breast self-examination. There was no change in group B (p>0.05). Being in the intervention group (p=0.001) and level of education (p=0.018) showed positive and negative associations with selfexamination practice. Upon adjusting for age, marital status, family history and education, group A (p=0.001) remained significant, while the level of education (p=0.116) became non-significant.
CONCLUSIONS: Designed health promotion programmes with monthly reminders through cell phone improved knowledge and practice of breast self-examination.
