Abstract(s)
O Cancro da Mama é o tipo de cancro mais comum entre as mulheres, e corresponde à segunda causa de morte por cancro, na mulher. Em Portugal, anualmente são detectados cerca de 4500 novos casos de Cancro da Mama, e 1500 mulheres morrem com esta doença. O Cancro da Mama é uma das doenças com maior impacto na nossa sociedade, não só por ser mais frequente, e associado a uma imagem de grande gravidade, mas também porque agride um órgão cheio de simbolismo, na maternidade e na feminilidade. Este é um problema que exige uma resposta emergente às necessidades destas mulheres, por isso, é importante que as áreas de intervenção de Enfermagem consigam actuar devidamente na promoção e prevenção do Cancro da Mama. O projecto de graduação ―Conhecimento da população do sexo feminino sobre o Cancro da Mama e Auto-Exame‖, teve como principal objectivo compreender se as mulheres sabem a importância do Auto-Exame da Mama como prevenção, se o fazem, e se o fazem correctamente. Neste sobressai o facto de se caracterizar por ser um estudo que visa compreender quais os conhecimentos acerca do Auto-Exame da Mama e a sua realização; caso isso não aconteça quais as estratégias que deveriam ser adoptadas para o fazer. O presente estudo é quantitativo, descritivo e transversal. Como instrumento de recolha de dados utiliza-se um inquérito, a análise e a interpretação dos mesmos será realizada pelo programa SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science – Windows) versão 22. A amostra é constituída por 50 pessoas do sexo feminino, escolhidas aleatoriamente, na região do Porto.
Os resultados obtidos através do inquérito mostram que as mulheres, apesar de terem conhecimento sobre o Cancro da Mama e o seu Auto-Exame, não o fazem, e quando o fazem, fazem de maneira incorrecta. Sendo este um problema feminino e que pode afectar a vida da mulher, tanto a nível físico, psicológico, emocional e relacional, deve ser feita uma prevenção eficaz, alertando as utentes dos centros de saúde sobre potenciais factores de risco e devidas medidas de prevenção.
The Breast Cancer is the most common type of cancer among women and is the second cause of cancer death in women. In Portugal, are detected each year about 4,500 new cases of Breast Cancer, and 1,500 women die from this disease. The Breast Cancer is one of the diseases with the greatest impact on our society, not only because it is more frequent and associated with an image of great severity but also because it strikes an organ full of symbolism, maternity and femininity. This is a problem that requires an emerging response to the needs of these women, so it is important that the areas of nursing intervention are able to act properly in the promotion and prevention of breast cancer. The graduation project "Knowledge of the female population on Breast Cancer and Self-Exam", aims to understand whether women know the importance of Self Breast Examination as prevention, if they do, and if they do it correctly. In this stands the fact that is characterized by being a study that understands what kind of knowledge of the Self Breast Examination exists and how they perform the exam; If this does not happen, what strategies should be adopted to do so. The present study is quantitative, descriptive and cross. As data collection instrument we used a questionnaire, analysis and their interpretation will be performed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science - Windows) version 22.0 The sample consists of 50 females randomly chosen in the Porto region. The results obtained from the survey show that women, despite having knowledge about the Breast Cancer and its Self-Examination, do not do so and when they do, they do incorrectly. This being a female problem and can affect a woman's life, both physical, psychological, emotional and relational , an efficient prevention must be made, alerting users of health centers on potential risk factors and appropriate preventive measures.
