A Breast Self-Examination involves checking your breasts for lumps or changes. Many breast problems are first discovered by women themselves, often accidentally. Breast lumps can be noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). Breast cancer can occur at any age, though it is most common in women older than 50. Lumps or changes also could be signs of other breast conditions, like mastitis or a fibro- adenoma. Breast cancer is third most common cancer following Kaposi’s sarcoma and Cervical cancer with incident rate of 22 per 100,000 women. It is recommended that ladies over the age of 20 years perform monthly Breast Self-Examination. Breast Self-Examination (BSE) is a screening method used in an attempt to detect early breast cancer. The method involves the woman herself looking at and feeling each breast for possible lumps, distortions or swelling. The present study aimed to assess the level of knowledge regarding Breast Self-Examination.

Methodology: To assess the knowledge regarding Breast Self-Examination among undergraduate Students. The Pre Experimental study was conducted among 60 undergraduate Students of Shree Sahajanand Girls Institute, Bhuj-Kachchh, between ages of 19 to 30 years. The data were collected with a structured questionnaire and variables included age, family history of breast cancer, daily exercise, regular Breast Self-Examination, clinical breast examination, following the pre-test, structured teaching programme was administered and post-test was conducted. The obtained data was analyzed in terms of the objectives and hypothesis using descriptive and inferential statics.

Results: The mean score of pre-test level of knowledge is 8.43 and SD value is 15.43. The mean score of post-test level of knowledge is 18.91 and SD value is 6.42 Mean difference is 10.48. The obtained “t” value is t = 13.06 which is statistically significant at p<0.05 level (DF = 59, table value is p = 3.46). Thus, the intervention was very helpful in improving the mean post-test knowledge score.). Therefore, the researcher rejected null hypothesis.

Conclusion: Structured Teaching Programme helps undergraduate students to take proper knowledge regarding Breast Self-Examination.
