ABSTRACT This research was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Breast Self-exam (BSE) training for deaf women. The study was conducted as a training intervention study and the members of Manisa Deaf Sports Club and Deaf Association were conducted with deaf women (N: 24). The questionnaire about pre-education socio-demographic and BSE was given to women by the researchers who knew the sign language. BSE training was done with sign language by using individual expression, picture expression and breast model for each woman. Six weeks after the training, women were assessed for efficacy by having a breast examination performed on the model. Women with a mean age of 21.00 ± 1.38 are high school graduates and work. Before the training, none of the women had knowledge of the BSE; After training, it was found that all of them learned knowledge and skills of BSE.
