Abstract
Breastfeeding provides essential infant nutritional benefits and serves as a major non-pharmacological protective factor against maternal breast cancer. This study evaluated maternal knowledge regarding World Health Organization (WHO) lactation guidelines, breast cancer awareness, and primary preventive behaviors in Uzbekistan.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to 31 young mothers across rural and urban regions of Uzbekistan via dedicated Telegram maternal communities.
Results: Knowledge of WHO exclusive breastfeeding recommendations was high (96.8%), as was awareness of the protective oncological effect of lactation (90.3%). Healthcare personnel (48.4%) and Telegram digital channels (45.2%) were primary information channels. However, 41.9% of mothers had never performed self-breast examination (SBE), despite 12.9% reporting a positive family history of breast cancer.
Conclusion: While theoretical health literacy is high, an actionable gap exists in routine screening behaviors, highlighting the need for digital, skill-focused health communication modules.
