Abstract: Objective To investigate the cognition of breast cancer knowledge and status of breast self-inspection among women in thyroid and breast surgery clinic. Methods Taking women who visited the thyroid and breast surgery clinic of a hospital in Huangshan City from January 2019 to April 2020 as the research subjects, the basic situation, cognition of breast cancer knowledge, and status of breast self-inspection were investigated and analyzed in the form of questionnaires. Results A total of 10 227 women in the thyroid and breast surgery clinic were surveyed, aged 20-65 years old, with an average age of （42.62±7.63） years old. The married accounted for 89.48%, and 89.88% had children. The average total score of breast cancer cognition was （85.63±8.36） points, and the rate of breast self-inspection was 20.15%. Women who were 36-49 years old （β’= 0.316）, live in the city （β’= 0.209）, with education level of high school or technical secondary school （β’= 0.166） or junior college and above （β’=0.233）, work in the medical profession （β’=0.178）, with a history of breast disease （β’=0.264）, and with family history of breast cancer （β’=0.238） had higher score of breast cancer knowledge cognition. Women who were 36-49 years old （OR=1.931）, live in the city （OR=2.073）, with education level of high school or technical secondary school （OR=1.598） or junior college and above （OR=1.774）, work in the medical profession （OR =2.156）, with a history of breast disease （OR=1.998）, had family history of breast cancer （OR=1.986）, and menarche age ≤12 years old （OR=2.210） were more likely to have breast self-inspection. Conclusion The cognition of breast cancer knowledge and status of breast self-inspection among women in thyroid and breast surgery clinic are not optimal. Medical staff and relevant departments should take intervention measures to improve the cognition of breast cancer knowledge and the status of breast self-inspection in women, which are beneficial for the prevention and early detection of breast cancer.
