Breast cancer

Success in the fight against breast cancer involves changing women’s behavior, especially with regard to increasing levels of knowledge about early detection tests. The implementation of educational programs focused on the initial diagnosis of breast cancer is considered a promising strategy in the fight against the disease, since educational actions influence lifestyle. Providing information about any health behavior is fundamental in educational activities and contributes to developing new attitudes. Developing educational practices in health that transcend the simple function of informing is challenging, but should be encouraged, as the results found in the acquisition of knowledge when strategies are combined that are capable of educating and producing reflection are increasingly evident. This book is an invitation to readers interested in improving their knowledge in relation to the use of an educational strategy associated with a motivational technique capable of leveraging the transmission of knowledge about the early detection of breast cancer by promoting a critical-reflective awareness aimed at appropriate actions.
