Abstract:
The present study aims to systematically review the women's knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of breast cancer (BC) screening methods to get enough information for policymakers to orient the screening strategies. All English KAP studies on BC screening methods in five databases up to January 2021 were included. The quality of the final articles was assessed using the STROBE checklist. The qualitative synthesis was performed. Out of 5574 retrieved articles, 28 were included. About 64% of the articles were of high quality. Overall, there were poor knowledge, negative attitude, and low practice between women. The educational programs and cultural plans can encourage regular screening. Women's excessive optimism to their BC risk should be eliminated by focusing on the risk of the disease, more.
