Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals in the third target aim to ensure healthy lives and promote prosperity for all people at all ages by 2030 (WHO, 2016). Within this target there are efforts to reduce the incidence of death due to non-communicable diseases, including breast cancer. The incidence of breast cancer increases with age. However, young age is also not a guarantee of being safe from breast cancer. Adolescents, as the largest age group in Indonesia's population structure, can be the focus of attention and a point of intervention for human resource development, especially for the prevention of cancer. Early detection through BSE is carried out from adolescence with increased awareness and is believed to reduce the number of deaths due to breast cancer (Pulungan, 2022).This study aims to determine the knowledge and behavior of young women in carrying out early detection of breast cancer by self-examination of the breast (BSE). The population in this study were 30 female students and the variables measured were the knowledge and behavior. The results were that 56.7% of respondents had sufficient knowledge about BSE Examinations and 66.7% of respondents' behavior regarding BSE Examinations was in the Sufficient category. The conclusion was that there was a significant increase in respondents' BSE skills after receiving education using video media and teaching aids. By providing counseling and direct breast self-examination to respondents, it is hoped that respondents can increase their knowledge and skills in practicing BSE actions in daily life.
