本研究採用準實驗設計，探討衛生教育介入方案對婦女執行乳房自我檢查之影響。以立意取樣選取台北縣新莊市四所國中夜補校，分為實驗組(I)、實驗組(II)及對照組，前後測配對後共得有效樣本123名，介入四個月後的後後測追蹤時，有效樣本為110名。
所得資料以描述性統計、卡方檢定、Ｔ檢定、共變數分析及邏輯式回歸分析等方法進行分析。重要結果如下︰
一、 在介入前，研究對象有50.4％執行過BSE，但規律執行比率只有6.5%，其「乳癌及乳房自我檢查知識得分」、「自我效能」稍低，「BSE檢查技巧」達成率僅有20％。
二、「團體衛生教育」能增加研究對象之知識、自我效能、BSE技巧、執行BSE比率及意圖；「婦女保健手冊」能增加研究對象之自我效能、BSE比率。
三、「團體衛生教育」組的知識、BSE技術、執行BSE意圖明顯優於「婦女保健手冊」組。
四、「明信片提醒組﹕實驗組(I)」在規律執行BSE比率及意圖上，明顯優於實驗組(II)及對照組。
根據本研究結果，建議未來推廣乳房自我檢查時，應配合團體教學並實際操作乳房模型練習，以獲得較好的教學效果；教學活動結束後，可利用明信片提醒婦女，持續規律執行乳房自我檢查。

The quasi-experimental method was used in this study to explore the effects of health education intervention program to breast self examination (BSE) among women above 20 year-old. Four night schools in Chin-chuang, Taipei county were selected on purpose, and assigned to experimental group(I), experimental group(II) and control group. There were 123 subjects who completed pre-test and post-test questionnaire. 110 subjects finished the follow-up 4 months after intervention.
The obtained data were analyzed by chi-square, t-test, ANCOVA and logistic regression with SPSS 9.0 for windows. The major results were as follow:
1. On baseline, 50.4% of the subjects had ever performed BSE, only 6.5% did it regularly (once a month). Knowledge and self-efficacy were quite low. Only 20% reach the BSE skill criteria.
2. "BSE education class" can improve knowledge, self-efficacy, BSE skill, BSE rate and intention of the experimental group subjects. "Booklet" can improve self-efficacy and BSE rate of the control group subjects.
3. In post-test, the subjects of experimental group had significantly better improvement in knowledge, BSE skill, BSE intention than control group.
4. "Postcard reminder: experimental group(I)" had significantly better improvement in regularly performing BSE rate and intention than experimental group(II) and control group .
According to the findings of the study, some recommendation for BSE education program was brought up: BSE education class accompanied with skill practice has great effect. After class, postcard should be sent to remind women performing BSE regularly.
