This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability levels of the Planned Behavior Theory Scale as related to a testicular self-examination.
The study was carried out in a health-profession higher-education school in Ankara, Turkey, from April to June 2012. The study participants comprised 215 male students. Study data were collected by using a questionnaire, a planned behavior theory scale related to testicular self-examination, and Champion's Health Belief Model Scale (CHBMS).
The sub-dimensions of the planned behavior theory scale, namely those of intention, attitude, subjective norms and self-efficacy, were found to have Cronbach's alpha values of between 0.81 and 0.89. Exploratory factor analysis showed that items of the scale had five factors that accounted for 75% of the variance. Of these, the sub-dimension of intention was found to have the highest level of contribution. A significant correlation was found between the sub-dimensions of the testicular self-examination planned behavior theory scale and those of CHBMS (p < 0.05).
The findings suggest that the Turkish version of the testicular self-examination Planned Behavior Theory Scale is a valid and reliable measurement for Turkish society.
本研究旨在确定与睾丸自我检查相关的计划行为理论量表的效度和信度水平。
该研究于2012年4月至6月在土耳其安卡拉的一所卫生专业高等教育学校进行。研究参与者包括215名男学生。研究数据通过问卷调查、与睾丸自我检查相关的计划行为理论量表以及冠军健康信念模型量表（CHBMS）收集。
计划行为理论量表的子维度，即意向、态度、主观规范和自我效能感，其克朗巴哈系数值在0.81至0.89之间。探索性因素分析表明，量表项目有五个因素，占方差的75%。其中，意向子维度的贡献水平最高。睾丸自我检查计划行为理论量表的子维度与CHBMS的子维度之间存在显著相关性（p < 0.05）。
研究结果表明，睾丸自我检查计划行为理论量表的土耳其语版本对土耳其社会来说是一种有效且可靠的测量工具。
