Knowledge ,Attitude ,and Practice (KAP)
When we asked ,she said that she wasn’t aware of the disease.
She had ignored it when the lump was small in size ,which later progressed
into a big one.
Other family members ignored the matter initially when she tried saying the
same.
So the attitude of the patient and the family member towards the disease –
Not Rationalistic
There is a KAP gap
