Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to determine the effect of education based on the health belief model on testicular self-examination awareness and health beliefs in young men. H0 Hypothesis: Education based on the health belief model has no effect on the awareness of testicular self-examination and health beliefs about testicular self-examination of young men in the experimental and control groups. H1a Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will increase the awareness of young men in the experimental group about testicular self-examination compared to those in the control group. H1b Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will increase the mean scores of the sensitivity subscale of young men in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. H1c Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will increase the mean scores of the benefit subscale of young men in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. H1d Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will increase the mean scores of the seriousness subscale of young men in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. H1e Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will decrease the mean scores of the barriers subscale of young men in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. H1f Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will increase the mean scores of the health motivation subscale of young men in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. H1g Hypothesis: The training based on the health belief model will increase the mean scores of the self-efficacy subscale of young men in the experimental group compared to those in the control group.


Description:

The research data will be obtained from students of Hitit University Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Child Development, Department of Health Management, Department of Social Work, and Department of Nutrition and Dietetics between 20 November 2023 and 15 July 2024. Pre-intervention phase: Data collection forms were applied to n=120 participants who met the inclusion criteria and accepted the study (pretest).Experimental (n=60) and control (n=60) groups were formed by drawing lots among the participants. "Testicular Cancer Education Program Based on Health Belief Model (SÄ°MTEKEP)," prepared by the researcher based on the literature, was carried out in four sessions. In the first session (45-60 minutes), "Male reproductive organs, testicular cancer and its symptoms (PERCEPTION OF SENSITIVITY)"; in the second session (45-60 minutes), "Treatment of testicular cancer and its negative effects (PERCEPTION OF SERIOUSNESS)"; in the third session (45-60 minutes) "Early diagnosis and Testicular Self-Examination (PERCEPTION OF BENEFIT and SELF-EFFICIENCY)"; and in the last session (45-60 minutes), "Testicular Self-Examination (PERCEPTION OF OBSTACLE)" topics were discussed. After the training, reminder messages were sent to the participants once a week. Post-intervention phase: At the end of the third month after the intervention, data collection forms will be applied again, and the research process will be completed (Monitoring).
