| description | Abstract Objective To determine the association between sociodemographic factors and breast self‐examination (BSE) practices among women of childbearing age from the rural communities of El Portillo and Pomaticla, Peru. Methods A cross‐sectional, correlational study with a nonprobability convenience sample of 605 women aged 15–49 years was conducted. BSE practice was assessed using a validated instrument (Cronbach α = 0.982). Data were analyzed with χ 2 tests and multinomial logistic regression using R software. Results Educational level, region of birth, marital status, health insurance, and absence of breast injury history were significantly associated with adequate BSE practices ( P < 0.05). Women with complete high school education had a significantly higher likelihood of adequate BSE practice (odds ratio, 10.62; P < 0.001). Residence in Pomaticla and being affiliated with EsSalud were also associated with increased practice. Conclusion Sociodemographic factors significantly influence BSE practices. Targeted health education strategies are needed to promote early detection behaviors in vulnerable female populations in rural Peru. |
