Abstract (1837 Views)
Aims: Breast cancer is among the most common cancer types. This study aimed to develop an Android-based detection application for assessing breast cancer risk.
Materials & Methods: This quasi-experimental study utilized a research and development approach, employing a pre- and post-test design with one group. The development and field-testing phase took place between July and August 2023, involving 59 women of childbearing age purposively selected within the operational vicinity of Puskesmas Simpang IV Sipin, Jambi City, Indonesia. The application successfully underwent testing, including evaluation by media and material validators. Subsequently, a comprehension test was conducted with three respondents individually, ten individuals in a small group, and 59 participants in a large group. In the field test, data are presented descriptively, including frequencies. The Wilcoxon test was utilized to determine a causal relationship between the product’s usage and the observed impact.
Findings: The development of the breast cancer risk assessment application involved several key stages, including the identification stage (comprising problem analysis, context, and literature), the application model design stage, and the material and media validation stage. The media validation process was conducted twice, with the findings yielding a score of 67, averaging 3.35 (meeting valid criteria), while material validation received an average score of 3.0 (also meeting valid criteria). A Wilcoxon test conducted on the knowledge variable revealed a significant increase, with the mean value before the intervention at 8.44 and post-intervention rising to 12.29.
Conclusion: Women of childbearing age readily accept Android-based breast cancer risk detection applications, and their usage has a positive impact on increasing their knowledge.
