The sample size was 74 patients. With the SPSS program 19 version the statistical analysis was conducted. For the descriptive statistics, frequencies and proportions were used on qualitative variables and mean, median, mode and standard deviation in quantitative variables.
Results: 27.0 % of the participants got a good knowledge about breast selfexamination. Also 56.8 % showed a regular perspective on self-examination. On the visual test the 78.4 % of the women showed a bad technique on breast selfexamination.
Conclusions: A large percentage of the studied population has regular perspective and knowledge of breast self-examination. An small percentage of women combine their knowledge and perspective about breast self-examination and they perform the breast self-examination suitably in order to detect abnormalities on their breast.
