Teaching breast cancer screening via text messages as part of continuing education for working nurses: a case-control study

An article from the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention

From the article conclusion in PubMed: "Mean age and mean work experience of participants in class and SMS groups was 35.8±7.2, 9.8±6.7, 35.4±7.3, and 11.5±8.5, respectively. There was a significant increase in mean score post-tests (compared with pre-tests) in both groups (p<0.05). Although a better improvement in scores of retention tests was demonstrated in the SMS group, the mean subtraction value of the post- and pretests as well as retention- and pre-tests showed no significant difference between the 2 groups (p=0.3 and p =0.2, respectively)."
