The study had the objective to determine the relationship between breast self-examination and the prevention of breast cancer in patients treated in the gynecology service of the Santa María del Socorro Hospital, Ica, 2023. Material and methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational and non-experimental, with a sample of 175 patients, applying the survey technique, as an instrument a questionnaire validated by 5 experts (p=0.03125), and with Kuder Richardson reliability of 0.737 for the breast self-examination questions, and Cronbach's Alpha of 0.849 for breast cancer prevention questions. Results: Breast self-examination was of medium level in 61.7%, low level in 23.4%, and high level with 14.9%. By dimensions, the medium level predominated in breast observation 54.9% and low level in breast palpation 50.9%. Breast cancer prevention was of medium level with 53.1%, low level with 28%, and high level with 18.9%. By dimensions, the medium level predominated in primary prevention 43.4%, and in secondary prevention 63.4%. The chi-square statistical test (X2 ) found a significant relationship between the variables (p=0.000), observing that the low level of breast self-examination was predominant in patients with a low level of breast cancer prevention (18.9%). Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between breast self-examination and the prevention of breast cancer in patients treated in the gynecology service of the Santa María del Socorro Hospital, Ica, 2023.
