Objective : To evaluate breast cancer knowledge among Bahraini women aged 20 years and more attending primary health care centers.
Setting : Primary health care.
Design : Cross sectional descriptive study.
Method : Three hundred Bahraini women attending the primary health care clinics were interviewed from 1st February to 31st May 2005.
A multistage sample was selected with a cluster sampling technique for the selection of one health center from each region ; five health centers were selected.
The sample was stratified according to the percentage of females residing in each region.
A semi-structured questionnaire was used for interviewing the study participants.
Result : Seventeen (5.6 %) women knew more than half of the correct answers, and the mean “Percent Knowledge Index” was 32.1 % ± 12.7 %.
Newspapers, television, radio, were identified as the main source of knowledge of breast cancer.
Highly educated women were more knowledgeable about breast cancer (p = 0.002), diagnostic modalities (p = 0.008), and risk factors (p < 0.0001).
Women with positive family history of breast cancer knew more about treatment modalities than those without a history (p = 0.017).
Moreover, no significant differences were found between the general knowledge and its subtypes among women with positive or negative personal history of breast complaints.
Conclusion: Breast cancer knowledge was deficient among Bahraini women.
Efforts to improve women’s education should be encouraged.
Breast cancer should be included as a subject in the high school curricula, with emphasis on modifiable risk factors.
The maximum use of media should be encouraged in breast cancer campaigns.
