摘要

The main aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the knowledge, attitudes and perception about breast cancer among students from different ethnic groups. A qualitative study was conducted among the multiethnic students at a Malaysian public university in Penang Island. The ethnic groups which were approached were Malay, Indians, Chinese, Arabs and Thais. On an average, fifteen students from every group was a part of the study. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the respondents? knowledge about the symptoms, causes and the treatment of breast cancer. A self designed 15 items questionnaire was used to achieve the objective of the study. A total of N=125 students were approached for their participation in the study. However, only n=102 showed a willingness to be a part of the study. The mean age of the respondents was 24±4.46. Overall, the findings demonstrated that the Thai students had comparatively better knowledge than the other groups. In terms of diagnosis, mammography and physical examination were recommended by a majority of the students. Surgery and radiation therapy were the preferred options to treat breast cancer. Thai students had good knowledge about the symptoms of breast cancer. However, the knowledge level towards the diagnosis of breast cancer was best among the Malays and the Arabs. Overall, the findings highlighted the need of further educational sessions among all the groups for the substitution of negative perceptions with positive and evident beliefs about the symptoms, causes, prevention, diagnosis and the treatment of breast cancer.
