CHAPTER I
BACKGROUND AND ITS SETTING
![Page 7: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• INTRODUCTION
Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things a woman can do to herself. It is an act of self-awareness that can ease one’s mind, soothe one’s body and save one’s breast. It could even save one’s life.
![Page 8: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Many women have suffered from breast cancer because of insufficient knowledge on how to perform breast self examination. This perhaps shows the unending increased number of cases of breast cancer. Majority of these patients were diagnosed late due to lack of knowledge on early detection of breast cancer.
![Page 9: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Survival of breast cancer patients are increased if early diagnosis is done. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women between ages 15-54. Early detection of breast cancer, through monthly Breast Self-Examination offers the best chance of survival.
![Page 10: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
According to WHO Women’s health, Breast cancer is the leading cancer killer among women aged 20-59 years. Cancers of the breast, lung and colon are among the top 10 causes of death of older women globally.
![Page 11: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Breast cancer is No. 1 cause of cancer deaths in the Philippines in a report released recently by the Department of Health; breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the Philippines, taking at least 16 percent of the 50,000 cases diagnosed with cancer.
![Page 12: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This is made even more alarming by another report from the Philippine Breast Cancer Network, which announced that
the Philippines has now the highest incidence rate of breast cancer in Asia and is also considered to have the 9th
highest incidence rate in the world today.
![Page 13: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
And the incidence of breast cancer continues to rise and what’s more distressing is the fact that all women are at risk and anyone can be victim – mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends regardless of age, race, social or economic status.
![Page 14: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The need for intensified efforts to educate the public should be highlighted. By enlightening women and the public in general of the importance of prevention
and not only early detection, more women can be saved from this fatal
disease.
![Page 15: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among Cebuano women, based on the Cebu population-based cancer registry of the foundation. From 1993 to 2007, the Eduardo J Aboitiz Cancer Center (EJACC) of RAFI recorded a total of 3,005 reported breast cancer cases in Metro Cebu.
![Page 16: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Based on the above premises, the study is conducted to evaluate the Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self-Examination among 4th year Female High School Students of Beatriz D. Durano Memorial National High school.
![Page 17: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The researchers also would like to know the relationship of the Level of
Knowledge to the Level of Skills in performing Breast Self-Examination.
![Page 18: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
THEORITICAL BACKGROUND This study is anchored on Bertrand Russell’s (1926) Theory of
Knowledge which states that knowledge is a product of doubt. Knowledge refers
to learning concepts, principles and information regarding a particular
subject(s) by a person through books, media, encyclopedias, academic institutions and other sources.
![Page 19: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In the Tripartite Theory of Plato, there are three types of knowledge: Personal Knowledge, Procedural Knowledge and
Propositional Knowledge. Personal Knowledge is the knowledge of
acquaintance, knowledge in this sense is to do with being familiar with
something.
![Page 20: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
While Procedural Knowledge is the knowledge concerned on how to do
something, it states that even learning the theories behind task doesn’t
necessarily mean that a person can do the task proficiently.
![Page 21: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The last type of knowledge is the Propositional Knowledge that focuses on the knowledge of facts or known facts of universal truth.

![Page 22: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Crossman (1959) stated that an early view on how practice leads to performance improvements. He suggested that, when faced with a new task, they have many strategies that can potentially be used.
![Page 23: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
With practice at the task, they monitor the outcomes they produce as a result of
the various strategies used. With time they come to favour the more efficient strategies. These are used more often and this produces performance speed-
up.
![Page 24: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Thus, Crossman’s model qualifies as an example of a theory that proposes that practice leads to more efficient procedures for performing a task.
![Page 25: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The theory does not suggest that practice modifies strategies to make
them more efficient. Instead, practice leads to the selection of the most efficient strategy among several.
![Page 26: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Crossman’s theory provides an account of the power law of learning. According to the theory, it is easier to find faster, more efficient methods early in practice, and so large gains in performance time are more likely at this stage.

One of the leading causes of death among women is Breast Cancer. Breast Cancer is a malignant tumor that typically begins in the ductal-lobular epithelial cells of the breast and spread via the lymphatic system to the axillary lymph nodes.
![Page 28: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The tumor may then mestastasize to distant regions of the body, including lungs, liver, bone and brain. The finding of breast cancer in the axillary lymph nodes is not merely contiguous growth into the adjacent region of the breast.
![Page 29: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Most primary breast cancers are adenocarcinomas located in the upper
outer quadrant of the breast (Black and Hawks, 2005)

Breast cancer is a type of cancer originating
from breast tissue, most commonly from the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply the ducts with milk. Cancers originating from ducts
are known as ductal carcinomas; those originating from lobules are known
as lobular carcinomas.

Breast cancer is a disease of humans and other mammals; while the overwhelming
majority of cases in humans are women, men can sometimes also
develop breast cancer.

The size, stage, rate of growth, and other characteristics of the tumor determine the kinds of treatment.
Treatment may include surgery, drugs (hormonal
therapy and chemotherapy), radiation and/or immunotherapy.

In order to detect easily the abnormalities of the breast, women are
encouraged to perform Breast Self-Examination. Breast Self-Examination
(BSE) is a screening method used in an attempt to detect early breast cancer.
![Page 34: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The method involves the woman herself looking at and feeling each breast for possible lumps, distortions or swelling.

BSE was once promoted heavily as a means of finding cancer at a more curable stage, but large randomized controlled studies found that it was not effective in preventing death, and actually caused harm through needless biopsies and surgery.

Breast self Examination should be conducted once a month. A regular time is best --- such as immediately following menstruation, when breast
tenderness and fullness caused by fluid retention have subsided, or on the first
day of the month.

Women examine themselves regularly become familiar with the shape texture
of the breast. Any changes must be reported immediately to the physician for accurate diagnosis (Kozeir, Erb, Blais and
Wilkinson 2002).

About 80% of women diagnosed with breast cancer will be the first to
be victims in their families.

The Philippines has the highest incidence rate of breast cancer in Asia and
registered the highest increase of 589% among 187 countries over a 30 year
period from 1980 to 2010.

Studies have shown a one-third reduction in mortality attributed to
breast cancer screening, mainly due to mammography.

However, the importance of annual clinical breast examination (by nurse, midwife or public health physician) and monthly breast self-examination (BSE)are to be emphasized, taking note that:
![Page 54: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
(a) sophisticated screening technology (mammography) is not easily available or affordable,
(b) mammography is mainly recommended for women ≥50 years old,
(c) many breast cancers are found among 35–50-year-old Filipino women
![Page 55: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
(d) a relatively inexpensive strategy
(BSE) involving physicians as examiners or a referral depot would be cheaper and more available than mammography and
physician time.

Reproductive factors associated with prolonged exposure to endogenous estrogens, such as early menarche, late menopause, late age at first childbirth are among the most important risk factors for breast cancer.
![Page 57: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Exogenous hormones also exert a higher risk for breast cancer. Oral contraceptive and hormone replacement therapy users
are at higher risk than non-users. Breastfeeding has a protective effect
(IARC, 2008, Lacey et al., 2009).

Breast cancer is the top cancer in women both in the developed and the developing world. The incidence of breast cancer is increasing in the developing world due to increase life expectancy, increase urbanization and adoption of western lifestyles.
![Page 59: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Although some risk reduction might be achieved with prevention, these
strategies cannot eliminate the majority of breast cancers that develop in low- and middle-income countries where
breast cancer is diagnosed in very late stages.

It is clearly shown in the study that majority of the respondents is from the age-range of 15-16; that comprises 24 students. Being a high school student specially in the 4th year level age fits in the range ages 15-16, minimal only in ages 17 and above for a 4th year high school level.
![Page 118: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
According to Erikson (1963) the psychosocial task of an adolescent is establishing the identity versus role confusion. The inability to settle on occupational identity commonly disturbs the adolescents. Erikson stated that adolescents help one another through this identity crisis by forming cliques and a separate youth culture.
![Page 119: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
These cliques often exclude all those who are different in skin colour, cultural background, aspects of dress or fashion,
gestures and taste in music.
![Page 120: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
During adolescents, peer groups assume great importance. The peer group has a number of functions. It provides a sense of belongingness, pride, social learning, and sexual roles. (Erikson, 1963 as cited by Kozier et. al. 2007)
![Page 121: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
Erikson notes the healthy resolution of earlier conflicts can now serve as a foundation for the search for an identity. If the child overcomes earlier conflicts they are prepared to search for an identity. He also said that the adolescent must make a conscious search for identity.
![Page 122: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
This is built on the outcome and resolution to conflict earlier stages, if the
adolescent cannot make deliberate decisions and choices, especially about vocation, sexual orientation, and life in
general, role confusion becomes a threat. ( Labiste, 2008)

It is clearly shown in the study that all of the 30 respondents and being a high school student are single. Erik Erikson said that in the adolescent period Teens need to develop a sense of self and personal identity. During adolescence, children are exploring their independence and developing a sense of self.
![Page 126: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
As they make the transition from childhood to adulthood, teens may begin to feel confused or insecure about themselves and how they fit in to society. As they seek to establish a sense of self, teens may experiment with different roles, activities and behaviors. According to Erikson, this is important to the process of forming a strong identity and developing a sense of direction in life.

Knowledge is a familiarity with someone or something, which can include facts, information, descriptions, or skills acquired through experience or education. It can refer to the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be implicit (as with practical skill or expertise) or explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); it can be more or less formal or systematic.

He also stated that faced with a new task, a person will have many strategies
that can potentially be used. With practice at the task, they monitor the
outcomes they produce as a result of the various strategies used and also practice
leads to the selection of the most efficient strategy among several.

Steinaker and Bell (1979) stated that conceptualized experiential learning as a sequence of progressive stages: exposure, participation, identification, internalization, and dissemination. Exposure represents a consciousness of the event and anticipation towards involvement in it. Participation is actual involvement in the experience.
![Page 146: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/146.jpg)
Identification occurs when the participant starts to apply earlier-learned experiences and knowledge to the situation. Internalization has occurred when the participant is able to apply learned concepts to other situations. Last, the dissemination stage is achieved when the participant can advise/teach others about the experience and manage their involvement.

Fitts and Posner (1967) stated that the learning process is sequential and that we move through specific phases as we learn. There are three stages to learning a new skill:

Autonomous phase - Developing the learned skill so that it becomes automatic - involves little or no conscious thought or attention whilst performing the skill - not all performers reach this stage.

The learning of physical skills requires the relevant movements to be assembled, component by component, using feedback to shape and polish them into a smooth action. Rehearsal of the skill must be done regularly and correctly.

Klausmeier (1971) stated that thinking involves a mental activity which originates with the feeling of perplexity, doubt, or dissatisfaction as the individual perceives something in his environment that is not completely satisfying or meaningful

For the thinking to be productive, rather than aimless daydreaming, there is
focusing on a problem or on perceived elements of environment.

Once the problem is intellectualized, thinking is directed to the solution. After a solution is tentatively accepted, it is tested or evaluated.

The present information and the method one has, his hypothesis about the
solution, and the particular social or other context of the efforts are all related to the testing or evaluating
aspect of thinking.

![Page 185: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/185.jpg)
Two standardized tools were utilized in this study.
Part I was a 10 items researcher made questionnaire that determines the Level of Knowledge in Performing Breast Self-Examination, which answers have corresponding value: 5= Exceptional Understanding; 4= Good Understanding; 3= Moderate Understanding; 2= Basic Understanding; 1= No Understanding.
![Page 186: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/186.jpg)
Part II of the questionnaire is the Breast Self-Examination Checklist to determine the Level of Skills. A 16 items checklist, which ratings have corresponding values 5= Excellent; 4= Very Good; 3= Good; 2= Fair; 1= Poor. There were no numbers that are closer to 1 that would indicate that the respondents got scores closer to 5.

FINDINGS
Among thirty (30) study participants 80 percent ages 15-16 which comprises 24 study participants, 20 percent ages 17-18 which comprises 6 study participants, while there were none for the age range of 19-20. And 100 percent or (30) all of the respondents are single.
![Page 188: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/188.jpg)
The average mean of Level of Knowledge is 2.8 and interpreted as “Moderate
Understanding”, while in the Level of Skills is 3.61 and interpreted as “Very
Good”.
![Page 189: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/189.jpg)
The Level of Knowledge and Skills among the 4th year Female High School Students with an obtained r value of 0.025 and the critical r value was 0.3494, the obtained t value of 0.132 and a critical t value of 2.048 which made the researchers to accept the hypothetical statement of null hypothesis.
![Page 190: Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing Breast Self ...docshare01.docshare.tips/files/11349/113492088.pdf · Performing Breast Self-Examination is one of the most important things](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051914/6004f8bc833b3b4dbf3e5275/html5/thumbnails/190.jpg)
This indicates that the computed value is less than the tabular value therefore
the researchers accepted the null hypothesis in which states that there is
no significant relationship between Level of Knowledge and Skills in Performing
Breast Self-Examination.
