Predicting Intention Perform Breast Self-Examination: Application of the Theory of Reasoned Action
Conclusion: TRA could be a suitable model to predict
BSE intentions . Participants who believed that doing BSE regularly is beneficial for early diagnosis of breast cancer
and also believed that their significant referents think that doing BSE would significantly detect breast cancer earlier,
were more likely to intend to perform BSE regularly. Therefore, the research findings supported the conclusion that
promoting the importance of BSE at the community/social level would enhance individuals to perform BSE routinely.
