Mean age of the students is 20.2±1.52; 58.3% had no information about BSE and 73.8% were not doing BSE; 7.7% them stated that they had a family member with breast cancer. The knowledge level score was 43.2±10.6 before and 68.4±10.5 after the BSE education (p<0.05). A statistically significant difference persisted between the pre- and post-education scores taking knowledge, making BSE, and frequency of using BSE average scores of the students (p<0.05).Article Knowledge and applications of the midwives and nurses at an educational hospital on the early diagnosis of cervix cancer(Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention, 2011) Beydag,K.D.This descriptive study was made to determine the knowledge levels and application situations of 96 midwives and nurses at an educational hospital in Istanbul.
