Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A two-group quasi-experimental design was conducted among 150 female teachers, who were selected from 75 schools of the Jazan General Administration of Education. Schools were chosen by a simple cluster randomization method. Schools were non-randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. Eligible participants were recruited by a simple randomization method, proportional to the total number of teachers at each school. Those in the intervention group (n=75 teachers) were compared to the control group (n=75 teachers) at baseline, as well as at 6 weeks and 3 months post-intervention.

Study aim:

Assess effectiveness of health education on improving knowledge and practices regarding Breast cancer(BC) early detection and screening tools among female teachers after six weeks, three months in health education group in compare with control group.

Specific objectives:

Estimate level of awareness among female teachers regarding knowledge and practices of BC early detection and screening tools in Jazan area schools.

Measure the impact of health education on female teachers knowledge and practices regarding BC early detection and screening tools in health education group in compare with control group. So Research questions are:

What is the current awareness level of female teachers in Jazan area schools regarding knowledge and practices of BC early detection and screening tools? Does health education improve knowledge and practices regarding BC early detection and screening tools among female teachers in Jazan area schools in health education group more than control group?

Health education group(intervention group)

Standardized heath education Program(SHEP) applied to this group participants .

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Health education

Intervention Type OTHER

SHEP included a comprehensive lecture about BC, with a generally deep focus on detection and screening tools, which were illustrated by a PowerPoint presentation with pictures and videos. The program also included a practical session about BSE (on breast silicon model). At the end of SHEP, a focused group discussion was conducted to answer participants' questions, and to discuss important barriers regarding BSE practice and visiting primary health care centers or clinics to undergo CBE and mammography. Different scientific and administrative solutions were discussed. SHEP materials were distributed as a hard copy (booklet) and in electronic format (CD) for all participants in the health education group at the end of training.

Control group

Placebo health education.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Control group

Intervention Type OTHER

Placebo health education (pamphlets) will be applied to this group participants during study.
