This study was conducted to determine the level of testicular self-examination (TSE) awareness and practice and to identify characteristics related to TSE awareness and practice in a sample of college men. A 26-item survey was administered to 404 male college students. Forty-two percent reported they were aware of TSE, more than 41% had been taught TSE, and 22% had examined their testicles at least once in their lifetime. Approximately 8% of the study population reported practicing TSE once a month. The PRECEDE model was used to categorize the significant variables that influenced monthly TSE practice. Age and college class were significant demographic variables; predisposing factors included having heard of testicular cancer, knowing about recommended practice rates, feeling that cancer can be controlled, and awareness of the risk factors associated with testicular cancer. Having been taught TSE was the statistically significant enabling factor. A discussion of TSE in the past 6 months was the significant reinforcing factor.
本研究旨在确定大学男生样本中睾丸自我检查（TSE）的知晓水平和实践情况，并识别与TSE知晓和实践相关的特征。对404名男大学生进行了一项包含26个条目的调查。42%的人报告称他们知晓TSE，超过41%的人曾接受过TSE相关教育，22%的人一生中至少检查过一次睾丸。约8%的研究对象报告每月进行一次TSE。采用PRECEDE模型对影响每月TSE实践的显著变量进行分类。年龄和大学年级是显著的人口统计学变量； predisposing因素包括听说过睾丸癌、了解推荐的实践率、感觉癌症可被控制以及知晓与睾丸癌相关的风险因素。接受过TSE相关教育是具有统计学意义的促成因素。过去6个月内对TSE的讨论是显著的强化因素。
