Examining of University Students’ Awareness, Beliefs and Practices About Testicular Self Examination

Öz

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to examine the awareness, beliefs and practices of university students in the risk group for testicular cancer about TSE. Method: This research, descriptively and cross-sectionally, was carried out in a university in Konya in the academic year of 2019-2020, January-March 2020. A total of 310 male students who voluntarily accepted to participate in the study were reached. In data collection, the "Champion Health Belief Model Scale" was used with the questionnaire form created by the researchers. Results: The average age of the students was 21.6 ± 2.3, 99.7% of them were single, 81.6% of them had not heard of TSE before, and 91.0% of them had never practiced TSE in their lives. The rate of those who were informed about testicular cancer before was 39.0%, and 14% of these students regularly practiced TSE (p= 0.000). In addition, the mean scores of these students were higher than those who did not receive information (p= 0.015). The rate of students who had problems with their testicles before was 4.8%, and 53.3% of these students regularly practiced TSE (p= 0.000) and the sensitivity scores of those who had problems with their testicles and those who did not were similar (p =0.998). The general score average of those who thought that TSE was not necessary to be practiced regularly was higher than those who thought it was necessary (p= 0.000). As the grade level of the students’ education year increased, the mean of benefits and self-efficacy score increased (p= 0.001). Conclusions: It was found that the rate of students who practiced TSE and got information about testicular cancer was quite low. Accordingly, it is recommended to organize training programs for students to increase their knowledge and awareness.
