Introduction | HBM, Testicular cancer, malignant cancers, TC, cancer | TESTICULAR CANCER, DISEASE, CANCER | Testicular cancer (TC) accounts for 1.0–1.5% of all malignant cancers, and the incidence of the disease is higher in males aged 15–35 years [Although the TC cells spread rapidly, the 5-year survival rates of the patients may increase up to 95% if diagnosed early [Different psychosocial models explain the attitudes and ... | PMC10655630 |
Method | PMC10655630 | |||
Study design and setting | This randomized controlled trial was conducted at the department of nursing of a university in Northern Cyprus during the fall semester of the 2020–2021 academic year. In this study, the researcher followed the randomized controlled studies using the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials 2015 control list. | PMC10655630 | ||
Sampling | G-Power 3.1.9.2 was used to calculate the sample size. A total of 42 participants, 21 participants in each of the two groups, were required for a 95% confidence interval, 80% power and 0.8 effect size. In this study, Cohen’s d effect size was used to calculate the effect size of two independent groups [ | PMC10655630 | ||

Descriptive information form | This form consisted of 11 questions, including 2 questions on sociodemographic characteristics (age and marital status) and 9 questions on the characteristics of TC and TSE, such as individual and family history, perceived TC risk, level and source of knowledge, regular TSE performance and the reasons for not performin... | PMC10655630 | ||
Knowledge questionnaire on TC and TSE | This questionnaire contained 16 questions on the frequency and risk factors of TC, the importance of the early diagnosis of TSE and the frequency and method of TSE. The participants were asked to respond to each question on a three-point Likert scale, with the possible responses being ‘yes’ (1 point), ‘no’ (0 points) a... | PMC10655630 | ||
CHBMS | The CHBMS was developed by Barnes (2000) and translated into Turkish by Pınar | PMC10655630 | ||
Interventions | Data were collected online from December 2020 to March 2021 via Google Forms survey software. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic at the time of the study, all training sessions were conducted online in our country, so this study was carried out entirely online. After obtaining the necessary permissions, the participants were... | PMC10655630 | ||
Outcomes | The knowledge questionnaire on TC and TSE and the CHBMS were used to evaluate the knowledge and health awareness concerning TC and TSE amongst male nursing students. The VAS was used to evaluate student satisfaction with the FCM. | PMC10655630 | ||

Discussion | HBM | Despite high cure rates, TC continues to pose a serious threat, especially to young adult men. Testicular self-exam is the primary health-protective behaviour in the early diagnosis and treatment of TC.

Conclusion | Sustaining educational activities to improve awareness of TC and TSE in university students aged 18–35 years is vital. Although the scores obtained by the groups in our study increased after the course on TC and TSE, participants in the intervention group, who received a lecture based on flipped classroom methods, had ... | PMC10655630 | ||
