Abstract

History and Objectives: Due to the prevalence of breast cancer and its complications and the necessity or cancer screening by health workers including midwives and lack of accurate data on the knowledge, altitude and practice of midwives, the present study was carried out on midwives working in the health clinics of Tehran in 1994. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was performed on 100 midwives working in the health treatment anters in Tehran. Data were collected by multi-stage cluster and then by simple randomized sampling method. Information regarding age, educational level, marital status, work history, family history for breast cancer, breast self-examination, breast examination of patient and questions regarding midwives attitude and knowledge via separate questionnaire were collected. The peifol7nance of midwives were evaluated with a corresponding check list. Results: Most midwives have a fair knowledge (41 %), strong positive attitude (58%) and moderate practical skills (50%) on breast examination. A direct statistical correlation was found between knowledge and type of attitude and between knowledge and practical skills of midwives on breast examination. In addition, a close relationship was found between educational level and family history of breast cancer with midwive's knowledge. A stitistically significant coorelation was found between breast examination of patients with midwive's attitude. However, there were no relationship between other characteristics and midwive's knowledge, attitude and practical skills. Conclusions: Since midwives have fairly moderate knowledge and practical skills on breast examination, and due to the importance of breast examination in early detection of cancer further studies are needed to determine the effect of continuing education on the level of midwive's knowledge and practical skills and their performance of breast examination.
