摘要

睾丸癌是年轻男性中最常见的癌症,早期发现可改善其预后。同时,睾丸自我检查(TSE)是一种二级预防措施,操作简单,有助于早期发现睾丸癌。有有限的研究报告的知识水平和实践的睾丸自我检查。因此,本研究旨在评估奥贡州Ilishan Remo Babcock大学计算机与工程科学专业男性本科生睾丸自我检查的知识、态度和实践情况。本研究采用描述性横断面研究,样本为290名本科生。在计算机学院开设课程的学生中有目的地选择计算机与工程科学学院,采用多阶段抽样技术,根据他们的教育水平分层。采用简单的随机抽样方法选择调查对象。数据收集采用自结构化在线问卷。巴布科克大学伦理审查委员会批准了进行这项研究的伦理许可。研究人员从巴布科克大学计算机与工程科学学院获得了开展这项研究的许可,并在调查问卷中附上了知情同意书。数据分析采用描述性统计。结果显示,年龄在15-20岁之间的人占88.3%。大多数人(54.1%)对TSE有良好的了解,41.0%的人对TSE持积极态度,但只有14.8%的人曾经使用过TSE,只有11.4%的人曾经接受过医务人员的睾丸检查。在本研究中,尽管对TSE有良好的了解,但研究结果显示,知识与态度和实践并不相称。这突出表明需要提高青年男子对烟草和烟草中毒的认识。临床睾丸检查和教育应纳入青年男性的常规检查。

Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Testicular Self-Examination Among Male Undergraduate Students of Computing and Engineering Sciences in Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State
Testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men and early detection improves its prognosis. Meanwhile, testicular self-examination (TSE) is a secondary prevention measure that is easy to perform and helps in the early detection of testicular cancer. There are limited studies to report the level of knowledge and practice of testicular self-examination. Therefore, this study is aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of testicular self-examination among male undergraduate students of Computing and Engineering Sciences in Babcock University, Ilishan Remo, Ogun State. A descriptive cross-sectional research with a sample of 290 undergraduate students was used for the study. The students offering a course in Computer school were purposively selected from the School of Computing and Engineering Sciences, a multistage sampling technique was used and they were stratified based on their educational levels. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the respondents. A self-structured online questionnaire was used for data collection. Ethical clearance to conduct the study was obtained from Babcock University Ethical Review Committee. Permission to conduct the study was sought from the School of Computing and Engineering Sciences in Babcock University and an informed consent form was attached to the questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Results show that most of the participants (88.3%) were within the ages of 15-20. The majority (54.1%) had good knowledge of TSE, 41.0% had a positive attitude, but only 14.8% had ever practiced TSE and only 11.4 % had ever had their testicles examined by medical personnel. Despite good knowledge of TSE in this study, the findings revealed that knowledge is not commensurate to attitude and practice. This underscores the need to increase the awareness of TC and TSE among young men. Clinical testicular examination and education needs to be incorporated into routine examinations of young males.
