Preventive health.
This study examines the introduction of a program by the clinical nurse consultant to have nursing staff teach all women who agreed to do BSE during their admission to a gynaecological ward within a major teaching hospital. A questionnaire was distributed initially to gauge the women's interest in being taught BSE. When this showed almost unanimous support, a program was set up. Several months after the introduction of BSE teaching, a further questionnaire was distributed to gauge the effectiveness of the teaching program and to pinpoint any problem areas. The results were positive, and the program has now become part of the nurses' every day routine.
