Abstract P1-11-15: Breast cancer prevention awareness and breast examination attitudes among Hong Kong women who work in a medical environment - A pilot study

Conclusion: The general breast cancer risk awareness among nurses in this pilot study is of concern. There is an unmet need to develop breast cancer preventive intervention program targeting at nurses. This pilot study helps to validate the proposed survey, and serves as the basis for our future design of appropriate intervention to enhance breast cancer awareness and improve early breast cancer prevention for female healthcare workers. Further study is warranted to be extend to female doctors, healthcare assistants and ward clerks etc.
