الملخص

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and it’s a leading cause of cancer death in females in both developed and developing countries, ranking second to lung cancer. A sharp increase in the incidence of breast cancer was found in younger age groups; still the highest number of cases was between 40 and 50years of age. In Sudan breast cancer mortality rate is high and most of patients are detected at late stages of the disease due to the lack of awareness and absence of screening programs. This highlights the need for increased community awareness about breast cancer and the need for early detection. This study aimed to determine the effect of community based interventional program in improving Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) of females towards breast cancer after receiving interventional programs. A case-control study design carried out in Sennar state in two areas Kassab Garby (control) and in Madinat Elsalam (study) from August 2014 to December 2017. A total of (400) females were included. (200) for control and (200) for study group. The knowledge and practice regarding breast cancer, was measured by means of structured questionnaire before and after test for the same group. Interventional program includes breast cancer knowledge and practice (mainly breast self-examination); in form of lectures, poster, and intellectual discussion. Also, pamphlet was prepared in simple Arabic language with simple local words. Data collected was analyzed using computer software program statistical package for social sciences. Ethical approval was taken from Ministry of Health in Sinnar State. Ethical review board and informed consent were taken from each participant. The result showed that the majority of females 105 (52.5%) at control group age >40, 185(92,5%) were married, 88 (44%) uneducated and 123 (61,5%) housewives, 21 (10,5%) had family history. In study group 56 (28%) age >40, 171(85,5%) were married 77(38.5%) uneducated and 141 (70.5%) housewives, 35 (17.5%) had family history. Study group showed statistically significant increases in knowledge regarding all aspects of breast cancer compared to control group post intervention p-value <0.05. Also, after intervention 184 (92.0) practiced breast self-examination compared to 5 (2.5) pre-tests while no beneficial change was observed in females practiced breast self-examination in the control group 3 (1.5) compared to 0 (0.0) pretests. Three participants identified changes in their breasts (breast swelling and nipple discharge). Study concluded that community based interventional programs had a significant impact related to improvement of females’ knowledge of breast cancer and practices of breast self-examination post application of the program. Study recommended that health education programs through various channels should be implemented for the females to increase the awareness and knowledge about breast cancer. Mass media, both print and electronic, should be utilized and community organizations mobilized to disseminate correct relevant information about breast self -examination to females.
