Keywords:
educational guidelines, knowledge, practice testicular, self-examinationAbstract
Background: Testicular self-examination (TSE) is the performance of a physical self-assessment of the testicles for changes in mass or shape in the scrotum that could be indicative of disease. Aim: To evaluate the effect of educational guidelines on knowledge and practice regarding testicular self-examination among male students. Design: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized in the present study. Sample: A convenience sample of (100) male students was included in this study. Setting: The study was conducted at the Technical Institute of Nursing at South Valley University. Tools: Three tools were utilized to collect data. First tool: a structured interviewing questionnaire used to assess demographic data. Second tool: to assess male students' knowledge sheet regarding testicular self-examination. Third tool: A simplified testicular self-examination checklist to assess male students' practice. Results: There was a highly statistically significant improvement in the total level of male students' knowledge and practice regarding testicular self-examination after the implementation of educational guidelines compared to before. Conclusion: Educational guidelines about testicular self-examination enriched male students' knowledge and practice more than before. Recommendations: A continuous male student educational session about testicular self-examination is recommended to upgrade the knowledge and skills of male students.
