Breast Self-Examination (BSE) is an important action in the early detection of breast cancer. Early detection plays a crucial role in increasing the success rate of treatment and reducing mortality from breast cancer. This study aims to determine the effect of leaflet-based health education about BSE on increasing knowledge among Women of Childbearing Age in the Tarailu Health Center Work Area, Mamuju Regency. The research method used is quantitative research with a Quasi-Experimental research design and a "One Group Pretest-Posttest" design using a purposive sampling technique with a sample of 40 respondents. The results of the study show a significant increase in the respondents' knowledge after being given leaflet-based health education about BSE. Based on the paired sample t-test, a T value of -5.182 was obtained with a p-value of 0.00 < 0.005. This indicates that the hypothesis is accepted, meaning there is an effect of health education about BSE on increasing knowledge among Women of Childbearing Age in the Tarailu Health Center Work Area, Mamuju Regency, in 2024.

Data collection in March-June 2022. This analysis was carried out to test the hypothesis using the Chi Square test at significant and if the p-value < 0.05. Based on the results of the study between knowledge and BSE actions, the Chi Square statistical test obtained a p value = 0.010 so that p <0.05. And the attitude with the BSE action that the Chi Square statistical test obtained a p value = 0.038 so that p <0.05 then H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. There is a Relationship between Knowledge and Attitudes of Young Women About Early Detection of Breast Cancer Through Self-Examination (Breast Self-Examination) in the Working Area of ​​the Ujung Kubu Health Center, Batubara Regency in 2022.
