An action research study with a non-probability sample composed of 15 women enrolled in the Association of Disabled Persons of the Compartment of Borborema, Campina Grande, PB, Brazil, using Questionnaires I and II, an educational folder, and a breast demonstration kit.

In the analysis of thematic content categories identified were: Disabled women’s needs for breast cancer information, beliefs and myths related to the origin of breast cancer, and self-care deficit related to the early detection of breast cancer.
