Abstract
Breast self-examination is a screening method used in an attempt to detect early breast cancer. The method involves the woman herself looking at and feeling each breast for possible lumps, distortions or swelling. A descriptive research design was used to assess the knowledge regarding breast self examination among rural women. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 100 adult women. The data was collected by using a structured questionnaire prepared by the researcher. The collected data were tabulated, analyzed and interpreted by using descriptive and inferential statistics and findings showed that 17 (17%) had good knowledge, 73 (73%) had average knowledge and 10 (10%) had poor knowledge. There was a significant association between the level of knowledge and selected sociodemographic variables such as age, education, occupation, number of children and exposure to previous information.
