Hubungan Health Belief dengan Perilaku Pemeriksaan Payudara Sendiri (SADARI) pada Remaja Putri di Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) Al-Fityan Kota Medan

Abstract

The first step to detect breast cancer early is to do a routine breast self-examination (BSE) every month on the 7-10th day after menstruation. BSE is an easy and free detection technique, but there are still very few women who are able to do it. The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between health beliefs and BSE behavior among adolescent girls at Al-Fityan High School, Medan. The method in this research is quantitative correlational. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with a saturated sampling type, where in sampling the entire population was sampled, totaling 90 people. The data collection method uses a Likert scale, namely the Indonesian Version Champion Health Belief Model (I-CHBM) and BSE behavior. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test with a significance level of α < 0.05. The results show that there is a relationship between perceived barriers (p=0.003), cues to action (p=0.000), and self-efficacy (p=0.001). Meanwhile, perceived susceptibility (p=0.736), perceived severity (p=0.420), and perceived benefits (p=0.093) had no relationship with BSE behavior. Educational programs that pay attention to health beliefs in implementing BSE should begin to focus on adolescents so that early detection of breast cancer can be carried out so that the number of cases in adult women will be reduced.
