Resumo: | Breast cancer is an important public health problem. Primary prevention seeks to reduce exposure to risk factors and encourages lifestyle changes. This study aims to assess knowledge and sources of information about risk factors for breast cancer among women at a secondary care center in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study, whose data collection was performed using a semi-structured questionnaire that included demographic variables (such as age, education, marital status and occupation) and research on information sources, access to information, risk factors and causes of breast cancer. A total of 398 women were included, aged between 35 and 69 years. The main source of information about Breast Cancer was the media, followed by the primary care unit. 79.6% of women have never participated in Pink October activities. Twelve items were listed as possible risk factors for breast cancer, and seven of those were modifiable risk factors. The average number of correct items identified was 1.38 and 1.76, respectively. The most recognized risk factor was family history of breast cancer. Genetics was described as the main cause of the disease. Our data show the limited awareness, as well as the reduced scope of public health actions towards breast cancer health promotion. It demonstrates the urge for reformulation of the breast cancer awareness information until it reaches the target audience. In addition, it is crutial that women assume their individual health responsibility, adopting a better lifestyle. |

La prevención primaria busca reducir la exposición a factores de riesgo y fomenta cambios en el estilo de vida. Este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar el conocimiento y las fuentes de información sobre los factores de riesgo del cáncer de mama en mujeres que asisten a una unidad secundaria de salud en la región sureste de Brasil, en Belo Horizonte. Se trata de un estudio transversal, cuya recogida de datos se realizó mediante un cuestionario semiestructurado que incluyó variables demográficas (como edad, escolaridad, estado civil y ocupación) e investigación sobre fuentes de información, acceso a la información, factores de riesgo y causas de cáncer de mama. Se incluyó a un total de 398 mujeres, con edades comprendidas entre 35 y 69 años. La fuente de información más señalada fueron los medios de comunicación, seguidos de la Unidad Básica de Salud y el 79,6% de las mujeres nunca participó en las actividades de Octubre Rosa. Se enumeraron 12 ítems como posibles factores de riesgo, 7 de los cuales pueden modificarse. El número medio de respuestas correctas fue de solo 1,38 y 1,76, respectivamente. El factor de riesgo más reconocido fueron los antecedentes familiares de cáncer de mama y se describió la "genética" como la principal causa de la enfermedad. Los datos evidencian el escaso conocimiento, así como el reducido alcance de las acciones de salud pública orientadas a la promoción de la salud, lo que demuestra la necesidad de reformulación para que la información llegue al público objetivo. Además, es fundamental que las mujeres conozcan su responsabilidad individual, adoptando un estilo de vida saludable.O câncer de mama configura-se como importante problema de saúde pública. A prevenção primária busca reduzir a exposição aos fatores de risco e estimula a mudança de estilo de vida. O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar o conhecimento e as fontes de informações sobre os fatores de risco para câncer de mama entre mulheres de um centro de atenção secundária da região Sudeste do Brasil, na cidade de Belo Horizonte. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, cuja coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de um questionário semiestruturado que incluiu variáveis demográficas (como idade, escolaridade, estado civil e ocupação) e a pesquisa acerca de fontes de informação, acesso à informação, fatores de risco e causas do câncer de mama. Foram incluídas 398 mulheres, com faixa etária entre 35 e 69 anos. A fonte de informação mais apontada foi a mídia, seguida da Unidade Básica de Saúde e 79,6% das mulheres nunca participaram de atividades do outubro rosa. Foram listados 12 itens como possíveis fatores de risco, sendo sete modificáveis. A média de acertos foi de apenas 1,38 e 1,76, respectivamente. O fator de risco mais reconhecido foi a história familiar de câncer de mama e a “genética” foi descrita como a principal causa da doença. Os dados evidenciam o limitado conhecimento, bem como o reduzido alcance das ações de saúde pública voltadas para a promoção da saúde, o que demonstra a necessidade de reformulação para a que as informações cheguem ao público-alvo.
