ABSTRACT

In resource-constrained settings, such as Nigeria, it is often recommended to engage in the practice of Breast Self-Examination (BSE). This is primarily due to its ease of execution and convenience, as individuals are able to perform it independently and at no cost. The present study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and practices of market women in relation to breast cancer and breast cancer screening. The study aimed to ascertain the level of awareness among market women regarding breast cancer and its screening methods. Additionally, it sought to determine the extent to which women are knowledgeable about the changes they should be vigilant for in their breasts, as well as the frequency at which they should conduct breast self-examinations. Furthermore, the investigation aimed to assess the attitudes of market women towards breast cancer, as well as their level of knowledge pertaining to thi A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed in this study, wherein a total of 153 market women from two distinct markets, namely Osiele and Odeda markets located in the Odeda local government area, actively participated. In our study, it was observed that a significant proportion, namely 85%, of the market women exhibited a commendable level of awareness regarding breast cancer. Nevertheless, notwithstanding the commendable level of breast cancer awareness exhibited by our esteemed market women, it is regrettable to note that their knowledge pertaining to breast cancer was found to be somewhat lacking in adequacy. It is noteworthy that these findings align with the results of several other studies, wherein various groups of women have consistently demonstrated a high level of awareness regarding breast cancer, yet concurrently exhibit a limited depth of knowledge on the subject matter.
