Article Synopsis
- - Breast cancer is a major health issue for women globally, and breast self-examination (BSE) is a crucial, low-cost method for early detection; involving nursing students in teaching BSE to their relatives can enhance awareness and practice.
- - A study involving 197 nursing students in North-Central Nigeria found that while 98.5% were aware of BSE and 89.8% practiced it, about 25% did not share this knowledge with their relatives.
- - To increase early breast cancer detection, nursing students should be encouraged to teach BSE to relatives and community members, highlighting the need for ongoing education and sensitization on this important health practice.
