          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Identificar as principais fontes utilizadas pelas mulheres para adquirir informações sobre câncer de mama; determinar se existe associação entre as fontes de informação usadas e o nível de escolaridade e renda familiar; estabelecer como as mulheres avaliam seus próprios conhecimentos sobre câncer de mama (auto-avaliação); determinar se esta auto-avaliação tem efeito sobre os hábitos referidos da prática do auto-exame das mamas. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Quinhentas e trinta e uma mulheres, com idade de 20 anos ou mais, foram aleatoriamente entrevistadas nas dependências de um hospital particular de Goiânia, GO. RESULTADOS: A televisão foi apontada como a principal fonte utilizada para adquirir conhecimentos sobre câncer de mama (26,5% das respostas), independentemente do grau de escolaridade ou da renda familiar. Em seguida vieram as revistas (16,8%), relacionamento interpessoal (16,2%), médicos assistentes (15,8%), jornais (12,2%), rádio (8,4%) e a internet (3,9%). O teste do chi² identificou associação entre as quatro fontes mais utilizadas para adquirir informações sobre câncer de mama e a escolaridade/renda familiar. CONCLUSÃO: A televisão foi apontada, pelas entrevistadas, a fonte mais utilizada para adquirir conhecimentos sobre câncer de mama. Oitenta e três por cento das entrevistadas consideram ter conhecimentos medianos ou bons sobre câncer de mama. As mulheres que auto-atribuíram maior nível de conhecimento sobre a doença apresentaram maior propensão para realizar o auto-exame das mamas com periodicidade correta.

          OBJECTIVE: To identify the main sources of information on breast cancer used by women; to determine whether there is an association between the use of specific sources and the education level or income of these women; to determine how women evaluate their own knowledge about breast cancer (self-evaluation); to determine whether this self-evaluation has affected the habit of doing breast self-examination. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five hundred and thirty-one women, aged 20 years or older, were randomly interviewed in a private hospital in Goiânia, GO, Brazil. RESULTS: Television was pointed out as the main source of information on breast cancer (26.5%) regardless of education level or income, followed by magazines (16.8%), talking to other people (16.2%), physicians (15.8%), newspapers (12.2%), radio (8.4%) and internet (3.9%). A chi-square test indicated association between the four most used sources of information on breast cancer and the education level and family income. CONCLUSION: Interviewed women pointed out television as their main source of information on breast cancer. Eighty-three percent of the women deemed to have average or good knowledge about breast cancer. Women who considered themselves as having good knowledge about breast cancer were more prone to perform breast self-examination at appropriate intervals.
