Women can begin performing breast self-examinations as early as their 20s. They do not serve as a replacement for routine clinical breast examinations or screening mammography in the detection of breast cancer. Women in their 20s and 30s should get a clinical breast exam at least once every three years, advises the American Cancer Society. One hundred female nursing students from Vikash Nursing College in Bargarh, Odisha, made up the sample for this study, which employed a quasi-experimental research design with a pre-experimental research design. Stratified random sampling technique was used for the sample selection. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard Deviation) and inferential statistics (Chi-square, paired „t‟ test) were used to analyze the data and to test the hypotheses. Over all comparison of mean values between pre-test 8.35 and post-test 24.18 of knowledge regarding breast self-examination and „t‟ value 3.99 obtained was found to be significant at 0.05 level.
