The sample consisted of 29 recipients with breast abnormalities at general surgery department, Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. A total of 29 people using a purposive sampling. Research instruments composed of online media of breast self-examination and data collection tools included personal information, the knowledge of breast cancer, and self-breast examination questionnaire and a self-breast examination observation form with reliability of .81, .72 and 1.00, respectively. Data analytics used descriptive statistics and pair t-test.

          The results showed that the subjects had statistically significantly higher scores on breast cancer knowledge and self-breast examination knowledge than before promoting self- breast examination using online media (p< .001 and p=.003) and the practice scores of self-breast examination after promoting self-breast examination using online media had statistically significantly higher than before promoting self-breast examination using online media (p< .001) Therefore, promoting self-breast examination using online media can develop the clients’ potential for self-assessment and self-screening.
