ABSTRACT:
Breast cancer in the population has been considered a major public health problem and in evidence in the female population. Because it is a pathology with a high mortality rate and for having very aggressive consequences to health, whether physical or mental, of women, with a characteristic morbidity and mortality. This study aims to report the experience of undergraduate nursing students in the extension course in indigenous health in the municipality of Crateús, in which ludic methods were used to indigenous women patients on the prevention of breast cancer. In October 2020, the indigenous extension group carried out health education with the theme: " Breast Cancer Prevention: Woman, Be Your Own Heroine" in the waiting room of a primary health care unit with indigenous women about breast cancer prevention. Active methodologies were used, such as: the fabric breast on a panel to demonstrate physiological and abnormal findings and a mirror to teach breast self-examination. Achieving this interaction between patients and nursing professionals means an improvement in the quality of care in health care units, being one of the alternative methods that can be used to develop integral health practices.
