I appreciate the department of health improvement in Ulleung Health Center and Yoon Hee Kim in Seo-Myeon health center branch who cooperated to collect the survey. Purpose: To evaluate women’s knowledge and behaviors regarding breast cancer screening, and considerations for improvement plans in Ulleung-island. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 172 female inhabitants who visited the outpatient clinic or received routine check-ups at Ulleung Health Center, had a visiting medical care, and participated in the local fair. The mean age of the participants was 46.9 years (range, 21-81). The questionnaire included the age of the participant, questions on behaviors related to breast cancer screening and knowledge of breast cancer, and perceptions about and opinions on breast cancer screening in Ulleung. We compared these results with those of previous studies performed in six other regions. Results: 45.9% (79 of 172) of the participants had performed a breast self-examination. 59.3% (103 of 172) of the participants had undergone screening mammography. Significantly, many participants had received screening mammography at or older than 40 years of age (p < 0.001). The most frequent reason for breast cancer screening was taking part in a regular check-up (67 of 102, 63.7%), and the most frequent barrier was the difficulty in going to a hospital on the mainland (20 of 70, 28.6%). With regard to knowledge of breast cancer, the mean value of correct answers was 2.1 out of 5. Conclusion: This was the first study to evaluate women’s knowledge and behaviors concerning breast cancer screening conducted in an island region of Korea. The findings might be applied to the planning and development of breast cancer screening in island regions.
