RESUMO
The purpose of this study was to assess behaviors and health beliefs concerning early diagnosis of breast cancer among women working in a textile factory in Turkey. The data were collected with tools designed by the researchers. The study population consisted of 167 women working in a textile factory in Izmir, Turkey. According to their responses, 23.4% of the women performed breast self-examinations and 12.6% received clinical breast examinations. Results indicated that 91.6% of the women had no education about breast cancer. Early methods of detecting breast cancer should be included in workplace education programs.
