INFORMATION NEEDS OF RURAL WOMEN IN THE EARLY DETECTION OF BREAST CANCER IN ORUMBA SOUTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA

3,000.00

Description

ABSTRACT

This study investigated information needs of rural women in the early detection of breast cancer in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population comprised three thousand, four hundred and eighty eight rural women from the womens Guild chapter of the Anglican Communion. The sample size comprised five hundred respondents, selected through proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Five research questions guided the study. One instrument, titled Breast Cancer Early Detection Information Need Questionnaire BCEDINQ was used for the study. Data obtained were analyzed using percentage and mean ratings. The major findings include that rural women have a critical need for information on early warning signs of breast cancer with mean scores of 2.40, 2.37, 2.36, 2.23 and 2.10; have very low awareness on general breast cancer facts with mean scores between 1.23 and 1.86 in fifteen questions; access breast cancer information mainly through community health centre 55; prefer certain media such as women group meetings 95.4, house-to-house visits by information providers 92.6, community based breast cancer counseling centre 90, public outreach campaign 86.8 and television 72.4; and factors such as ignorance, absence of functional library services, lack of adequate information mechanisms, negligence of the governments responsibilities to its citizens, inaccessibility of the rural areas by nongovernmental agencies, language barrier and illiteracy hinder their access to breast cancer information. Implications of the findings included inadequate propagation of breast cancer information as well as inadequate enforcement of such policy by the Federal Government through the health care delivery system; inability of rural women to actively participate in early detection due to inadequate information; and unavailability of suitable information media, which restricts access to such information. Recommendations were that the government should make breast cancer information propagation an enforceable integral part of the health care delivery system as well as set up a goal directed committee to strategically implement it; utilize the October National Breast Cancer Awareness month using key dates, pictorial displays, lectures, seminars and counseling; involve Librarians in such activities; intensified effort of nongovernmental organizations; establish various information media which should include public libraries; propagate breast cancer information through suitable media such as women group meetings, house-to-house visits by information providers, community based breast cancer counseling centre, public awareness campaigns; and the collaboration of all the involved authorities in alleviating the factors that hinder the women from accessing breast cancer information.
