To determine if intervention school students who received skills-based breast self-exam (BSE)/testicular self-exam (TSE) training were more likely than control school students to report higher intentions to perform BSE/TSE, greater BSE/TSE self-efficacy, and actual performance of BSE/TSE.
BSE/TSE behaviors, intentions, and self-efficacy were assessed in a high school-based trial (N = 6 schools; 3 schools randomized/condition) using self-reported data at 3 time points (N = 1058, 9 th grade students).
At follow-up, intervention students had greater BSE/TSE intentions and self-efficacy than control students. Intervention students were more likely than control students to report monthly BSE (54.8% vs 27.2%, p = .031) and TSE (81.5% vs 31.4%, p = .010).
Skills-based interventions with goal setting affect teenagers' self-examination behaviors, intentions, and self-efficacy. Teaching self-screening may empower teenagers to become more engaged in their preventive health, which may lead to improved health as they age.
确定接受基于技能的乳房自我检查(BSE)/睾丸自我检查(TSE)培训的干预学校学生是否比对照学校学生更有可能报告更高的进行BSE/TSE的意愿、更强的BSE/TSE自我效能感以及实际进行BSE/TSE。
在一项基于高中的试验(N = 6所学校;3所学校随机分组/条件)中,使用自我报告数据在3个时间点(N = 1058名九年级学生)评估BSE/TSE行为、意愿和自我效能感。
在随访时,干预组学生比对照组学生有更高的BSE/TSE意愿和自我效能感。干预组学生比对照组学生更有可能报告每月进行BSE(54.8%对27.2%,p = 0.031)和TSE(81.5%对31.4%,p = 0.010)。
基于技能并设定目标的干预措施会影响青少年的自我检查行为、意愿和自我效能感。教授自我筛查可能会使青少年更积极地参与预防性健康,随着年龄增长可能会改善健康状况。
