Aim.
This study aims to determine the knowledge level of the female primary healthcare workers about breast cancer and to reveal their attitude and behaviors about breast self-examination and mammography.
Methods.
This cross-sectional study was conducted on female primary healthcare workers who work in family health centres.
91% ( n = 369 ) of female primary healthcare workers agreed to participate in the study.
The questionnaire consisted of three parts: sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge about breast self-examination, and actual practice of breast self-examination.
Results.
The mean (SD) age of the female primary healthcare workers was 33.1 ± 6.8 (range, 20–54 years).
The healthcare workers who practiced breast self-examination had significantly higher knowledge level ( P = 0.001 ) than those who had not.
The respondents had high knowledge level of breast self-examination; however, the knowledge level of breast cancer and mammography screen was low.
Conclusions.
While the female primary healthcare workers in this study had adequate knowledge of breast self-examination, this is not reflected in their attitudes and practices.
Emphasis should be laid on breast self-examination in undergraduate and postgraduate courses for primary healthcare workers, since they are mostly involved in patient education.
