Tiivistelmä
The study of women’s breast cancer awareness was carried out in Finland and China in the year of 2010.
The purpose of this research was to assess the basic knowledge concerning awareness of breast cancer prevention or early detection and to explore women’s attitudes towards reducing the risk factors. Apart from that, it was still used to identify the differences in practices related to breast cancer, risk factors and prevention between Chinese and Finnish women.
The sample consisted of 60 women, which are 30 Finnish women and 30 Chinese women. The women were selected from no medical background. The data was collected using self-designed questionnaires including 30 questions.
The findings show the level of basic knowledge towards breast cancer as well as the comparison of awareness about breast cancer between Chinese and Finnish women. The research indicated the needs of counseling and education regarding the risks of breast cancer in order to reduce incidence of breast cancer in both countries. Besides that, it focused on raising the women’s awareness, self-protection abilities and improving the women’s quality of life.
