INTRODUCTION Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in Malaysian women, and the use of breast self-examination (BSE), clinical breast examination (CBE) and mammography remain low in Malaysia. Therefore, there is a need to develop a valid and reliable tool to measure the beliefs that influence breast cancer screening practices. The Champion's Health Belief Model Scale (CHBMS) is a v...

Suppose that $A$ is a semi-simple and commutative Banach algebra. In this paper we try to characterize the character space of the Banach algebra $C_{rm{BSE}}(Delta(A))$ consisting of all  BSE-functions on $Delta(A)$ where $Delta(A)$ denotes the character space of $A$. Indeed, in the case that $A=C_0(X)$ where $X$ is a non-empty locally compact Hausdroff space, we give a complete characterizatio...

Breast self-examination (BSE) is recommended by the World Health Organization for resource-limited countries early detection and management of breast cancer. This study will assess knowledge attitude, practice among adult females living in Addis Ababa. A community-based cross-sectional was conducted March 2022 Structured questionnaires were entered into Google form then shared using different s...

Background: Regular breast self-examination is the most cost-effective method for early detection of cancer. Female community health volunteers (FCHVs) could play an important role in teaching about (BSE). We aimed to assess knowledge and practice among FCHVs. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using census sampling select FCHVs from all 20 wards Dharan sub-metropolitan ci...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women in the world. Early detection is necessary to improve outcomes and decrease related costs. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive power of health locus of control as a modifying factor in the Health Belief Model (HBM) for prediction of breast self-examination. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross- sectional stud...

PURPOSE The purpose of this research was to analyze the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of the nurses and midwives about the early diagnosis of breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was carried out at 9 family medical centers (FMCs) and 1 community health center (CHC) in Bingol; the population of this research consisted of 25 midwives and 38 nurses.
