A recent study conducted at St. Luke's International Hospital in Japan aimed to assess the recognition and understanding of breast awareness (BA) among hospital staff. The study found that 78% of respondents were unfamiliar with BA before the survey, but 89.1% expressed interest in adopting daily practices for early breast cancer detection. After exposure to an informational leaflet, 98.4% of respondents claimed to have understood BA, and 93.2% found the leaflet helpful in differentiating between BA and traditional breast self-examination. The study highlights the need to engage medical professionals in promoting BA within the community and suggests that the leaflet could be a widely applicable educational tool.
