Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative educational tool, the SADARI Calendar (KALDARI), in improving the knowledge and attitudes of women of reproductive age regarding breast self-examination in the working area of the Public Health Center of Selatpanjang.
Materials & Methods: This quasi-experimental study used a one-group pre-test-post-test approach and was conducted on 63 women aged 30-50 years selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires administered before and after the KALDARI education sessions, which included lectures and demonstrations of SADARI techniques. Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted, with paired t-tests used to assess significant differences in respondents’ knowledge and attitudes before and after the intervention.
Findings: There was a significant increase in mean knowledge scores, from 7.76±2.85 to 9.88±2.77 (p=0.0001), and in attitude scores, from 8.47±2.31 to 11.28±2.38 (p=0.0001). These results demonstrated the effectiveness of the KALDARI educational tool in enhancing knowledge and fostering positive attitudes toward early breast cancer detection.
Conclusion: The KALDARI educational intervention is effective in improving respondents’ knowledge and attitudes regarding the importance of early breast cancer detection through self-examination (SADARI).
