The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a training program based on educational brochures and audio recordings of testicular cancer (TC) stories on testicular self-examination (TSE) and health beliefs among university students.
The study had a pretest-posttest, control group experimental design.
This study was conducted with 106 students in Turkey.
Data were collected using a personal information form, the Health Beliefs Model (HBM) Scale for TC and TSE, and a form for determining TSE and sharing information.
There was a statistically significant difference between the posttest scores obtained by the intervention group, who received the training and the control group on the susceptibility, benefits and health motivation, barriers, self-efficacy, and health motivation dimensions of the HBM Scale (p < 0.05). The percentage of TSE in the intervention group increased from 14.8% to 90.7% after receiving training on TC and TSE, which was significantly different from the pretest and posttest scores of the control group.
Training using educational brochures and audio recordings of TC stories had a positive effect on TSE and health beliefs. The results suggest that both training methods can be used to increase social awareness of TC.
本研究旨在确定基于睾丸癌（TC）故事的教育手册和音频记录的培训计划对大学生睾丸自我检查（TSE）和健康信念的影响。
该研究采用前测-后测、对照组实验设计。
本研究在土耳其的106名学生中进行。
使用个人信息表、TC和TSE的健康信念模型（HBM）量表以及用于确定TSE和分享信息的表格收集数据。
接受培训的干预组与对照组在HBM量表的易感性、益处和健康动机、障碍、自我效能感以及健康动机维度上的后测得分存在统计学上的显著差异（p < 0.05）。干预组在接受TC和TSE培训后，TSE的比例从14.8%增加到90.7%，这与对照组的前测和后测得分有显著差异。
使用教育手册和TC故事音频记录进行培训对TSE和健康信念有积极影响。结果表明，这两种培训方法均可用于提高社会对TC的认识。
