Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women globally, including in Bantul Regency, particularly in Sewon District, which has the lowest early detection rates. This study aims to analyze the effect of animated video media on the knowledge and practices of early breast cancer detection among female students at SMK Negeri 2 Sewon. The research method employed is a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group, conducted in January 2024. The sample consisted of 50 students in the experimental group and 50 in the control group, selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed using Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney tests. The results indicate a significant increase in knowledge (p=0.000) and practices (p=0.000) in the experimental group, with average knowledge improvement of 64.15 and practice improvement of 69.14, while the control group showed average knowledge improvement of 36.85 and practice improvement of 31.86 (p=0.000). These findings suggest that animated video media is more effective than leaflets in enhancing knowledge and practices related to early breast cancer detection. The conclusion of this research demonstrates that the use of BSE animated video media significantly improves knowledge and practices of early breast cancer detection among tenth-grade female students, with positive implications for health awareness efforts among adolescents.
