摘要

背景:尽管睾丸癌症(TC)是18至50岁男性最常见的恶性肿瘤,但几乎没有努力提高公众对TC和睾丸自我污染(TSE)的认识。因此,本研究的目的是评估沙特人口对TC和TSE的认识水平。材料和方法:本研究采用通过社交媒体平台在线分发的结构化问卷进行。问卷由11个与TC和TSE相关的问题组成。将所有相关数据移入Excel表中,并使用SPSS进行数据分析。结果:共收到849份回复。了解TC信息的受访者比例为26.5%,媒体或互联网是最常见的信息来源(16.3%)。此外,5.5%的受访者知道如何进行TSE,尽管只有4%的受访者真正进行了TSE。患者年龄组是这一知识的独立显著预测因素,P=0.031。结论:这些发现表明,沙特阿拉伯公众对TC和TSE的认识和知识水平较低,应进一步努力提高公众意识。

Perceptions of testicular cancer and self-examination in the general population of Saudi Arabia.

Background: Although testicular cancer (TC) is the most common malignancy in males between the ages of 18 and 50 years, little effort has been made to increase public awareness about TC and testicular self-examinations (TSEs). Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the level of awareness of TC and TSEs in the Saudi population.

Materials and methods: This study was conducted using a structured questionnaire distributed online through social media platforms. The questionnaire consisted of 11 questions related to TC and TSE. All relevant data were moved into an Excel sheet, and data analyses were carried out using SPSS.

Results: A total of 849 responses were received. The proportion of respondents who knew any information about TC was 26.5%, with media or the Internet being the most common sources of information (16.3%). In addition, 5.5% of respondents knew how to perform a TSE, although only 4% actually performed TSEs. The patient age group was an independent significant predictor of this knowledge, with a P = 0.031.

Conclusions: These findings suggest that there is a low level of public awareness and knowledge of TC and TSE in Saudi Arabia, and further efforts should be focused on raising public awareness.
