Key Points

  • Regular self breast examination is practiced by 90.2%, yet only 12.5% have had a mammography.
  • 64% of nursing staff know about HPV vaccination, but only 10.1% have administered it to their daughters.
  • Effective health seeking practices are linked to improving attitudes and understanding among nursing staff.
