The study sample consisted of 53 health mediators by census method from five health care centers (one in mal area) in Gachsaran. Results: The sign test showed a statistically significant increase in the mean of KNOWLEDGE scores at post-intervention compared to pre-intervention (P=0.000) the result of wilcoxone test showed a significant increase in the mean scores of ATTITUDE at posttest compared to pre-test (P=0.021) too. Also the results of kruskalwallis test showed a significant increase in the mean of BSE practice at post-test compared to pre-test (P=0.000). The literacy level of the study subjects had a significant influence on BSE KNOWLEDGE level at post-test (P=0.015). In addition, the kruskall wallis test showed the mean seores of BSE practice in women with the history of breast pain was significantly high (P=0.019).
