Filter by:Vulval cancer, while rare, has increased in incidence by 17% since the 1990s. It is strongly associated with age, thus this increasing trend is likely to continue with extended life expectancy. Vulval cancer is highly treatable when detected early. Women with chronic vulval conditions including lichen sclerosus, lichen planus and vulval intraepithelial neoplasia are at increased risk of developing vulval cancer. Most patients are in hospital follow-up, however regular vulval self-examination can pick up lesions earlier. There are no formalised methods of teaching self-examination and no evidence that it is acceptable to women. The main objective of this study is to pilot an intervention to promote and support vulval self-examination for women at increased risk of vulval cancer including those with lichen sclerosus, lichen planus and vulval intraepithelial neoplasia. Findings from this feasibility study will inform the design of a randomised trial comparing the interventions versus control with an embedded cost-effectiveness analysis.
The aim of the training on testicular cancer and Testicular Self Examination is to increase the awareness of individuals and to develop health behaviors for early diagnosis. However, in the literature, it is seen that in the training studies conducted on this subject, mostly the training videos and presentations are made with the classical expression method. In this study, unlike other studies, the effect of the training given with the Flipped Learning Model on the knowledge and beliefs of male students regarding testicular cancer and Testicular Self Examination will be examined. It is thought that the results of the study to be obtained will guide health professionals in the selection of teaching models to increase the effectiveness of training activities to be planned for young adult males for the early diagnosis of testicular cancer.
