The Impact of Virtual Education on Women’s Breast Self-Examination Skills
Study Overview
This study explored how virtual education affects women’s ability to perform breast self-examinations (BSE), which is vital for early breast cancer detection. The goal was to see if online programs could improve knowledge, self-efficacy, and practical skills related to BSE.
Methodology
A total of 146 women aged 18-59 participated in this study, divided into two groups: one receiving virtual education and a control group with no education. The intervention group engaged in a four-week program via WhatsApp, which included videos, booklets, and posters. Both groups completed questionnaires before and two months after the intervention to assess their knowledge, self-efficacy, and BSE skills.
Key Findings
- There was no significant change in knowledge scores between the two groups.
- Self-efficacy scores improved significantly in both groups, with the intervention group showing a stronger increase.
- The intervention group demonstrated significantly better BSE skills compared to the control group after the program.
Conclusion
While virtual education can enhance self-efficacy and BSE skills, it may not be sufficient on its own to improve all aspects of BSE proficiency.
