Abstract
Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent malignancies affecting women globally and is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Early detection and preventive measures are critical to reducing morbidity and mortality rates. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of video-assisted teaching (VAT) in enhancing knowledge and awareness about breast cancer prevention among housewives in Ghataprabha. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was employed, involving 30 housewives. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire before and after the VAT intervention. Results showed a significant increase in knowledge post-intervention. The pre-test mean score was 13.7 (45.7%), which increased to 16.6 (54.3%) after the intervention. Paired t-test analysis revealed a statistically significant improvement (t = 3.76, p < 0.05). Chi-square analysis found no significant association between pre-test knowledge and demographic variables. The findings suggest that VAT is an effective educational tool for promoting awareness and early prevention of breast cancer among housewives.
