The text related to Table 6 was incorrect and should be as follows:
Table 6 shows the practice rating scale used in measuring good or poor practice of BSE.
The practice score in Table 5 was rated on a 27-point rating scale as shown in Table 6, with a mean score of 16.3.
Scores of 17 and above (53.8%) were rated as poor practice, and scores below 17 (46.3%) indicated good practice of breast self-examination.
It can therefore be concluded that the majority of the respondents exhibited poor practice of BSE.
