The practice of testicular self examination was investigated amongst a sample of 170 British and 153 Zimbabwean male undergraduates using a questionnaire based on the health belief model. Knowledge of testicular cancer and of self examination was found to be low in both groups. Both groups, though, showed high general health awareness and a perception that the benefits of self examination would be great. It is recommended that knowledge of testicular cancer and the value of self examination should become part of general community based health programmes in both countries.
通过一份基于健康信念模型的调查问卷，对170名英国男性和153名津巴布韦男性大学生进行了睾丸自我检查实践的调查。结果发现，两组学生对睾丸癌和自我检查的了解程度都很低。不过，两组学生的总体健康意识都很高，并且认为自我检查的益处很大。建议在这两个国家，将睾丸癌知识和自我检查的价值纳入基于社区的一般健康计划中。
