Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women and is one of the main causes of cancer death in women throughout the world. Around 9-8% of women have the potential to experience breast cancer. It is estimated that there are 100 new sufferers per 100,000 population every year in Indonesia. The prevalence of cancer in Indonesia is 1.4 per 1000 population and increases with age. Breast cancer contributes 30% and is the most common type of cancer in Indonesia.
Methods: The research method employed was quasi-experimental with a pre-posttest without control group design. Total sampling was used to collect samples. The data was evaluated using the paired t test.
Results: The study showed significant differences in nursing students' knowledge of breast cancer before and after they received the self-paced module (p value 0.000).
Conclusion: The self-paced module can help students learn more about breast cancer. There is need for various approaches of educating nursing students about breast cancer as well as the students' ease of access to resources for breast cancer information.
