“…Knowledge of risk factors is important because of the motivation for testicular self-examination. According to a study by Ugobom and Aburom, only a small number of individuals believe that testicular self-examination may help in the early detection of testicular cancer (9). This study showed different results.…”

Testicular cancer is the most common tumour in men of reproductive age. The incidence has increased in the last few years, both globally and in the Republic of Croatia. no studies have been conducted in the republic of croatia that show the level of knowledge about testicular cancer, so this study was conducted to examine the knowledge and attitudes of the male population about testicular cancer, to determine whether there are differences in knowledge and attitudes between members of the male population from rural and those from urban areas, and to examine how to increase the awareness of the male population about the prevention of testicular cancer. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 200 respondents from rural and urban areas of the Republic of Croatia. The study was conducted using an anonymous survey questionnaire. Knowledge of risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment methods, and self-examination was examined. The results did not show a significant difference in the knowledge and attitudes between participants from rural and those from urban areas. However, the overall level of knowledge about testicular cancer has been shown to be low and efforts need to be made to improve prevention programs to protect the health of the male population.

“…Al comparar las dimensiones del modelo de creencias entre los que conocen y los que no conocen la AT encontraron diferencias significativas en barreras y autoeficacia (15). Otro estudio muestra una correlación positiva y significativa entre el conocimiento de la AT y la autoeficacia y la motivación para la salud (16).…”

“…Actualmente, en poblaciones hispanas surge el interés por evaluar el conocimiento y practica de la AT, como se muestra en algunos estudios descriptivos sobre el tema (16)(17), pero no se cuenta con un instrumento en idioma español que permita identificar los factores cognitivos que influyen en este comportamiento. Por este motivo, el objetivo de este estudio fue adaptar y validar la escala del modelo de creencias de salud para el cáncer y autoexploración testicular en estudiantes universitarios y determinar las variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y del modelo de creencias que influyen en realizar la AT.…”

El objetivo de este estudio fue adaptar y validar la escala del modelo de creencias de salud para el cáncer y autoexploración testicular (AT) en estudiantes universitarios en México y determinar las variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y del modelo de creencias que influyen en efectuar la AT. Se realizó el proceso de traducción y retraducción de la cual se obtuvieron 72 ítems, que fueron revisados por expertos y se eligieron 39 ítems, los cuales fueron aplicados en un grupo de 30 estudiantes para revisar la comprensión y el tiempo de aplicación; por último, esta versión se aplicó en 803 estudiantes de una universidad pública. Se obtuvo una escala de 38 ítems divididos en 6 factores congruentes con el modelo de creencias de salud: susceptibilidad (α = 0,77), seriedad (α = 0,82), beneficios (α = 0,80), barreras (α = 0,83), autoeficacia (α = 0,88) y motivación para la salud (α = 0,71) que explican el 44% de la varianza y presentan una consistencia interna de adecuada a buena. La variable que más influye en la realización de la autoexploración testicular fue la autoeficacia. La versión en español de la escala del modelo de creencias de salud para el cáncer y la autoexploración testicular obtuvo evidencias de validez y confiabilidad en esta muestra de estudiantes universitarios.

Despite being one of the most preventable and curable types of cancer, cervical cancer still causes death among Filipino women yearly. The pandemic created new obstacles for women to overcome, but some of the obstacles that existed before COVID-19 may now be worsened and will seriously affect women's self-care management, limiting their access to the necessary procedures needed for the screening of cervical cancer. This study aimed to determine the relationship of at-risk Filipino women’s health beliefs towards their intention to have Pap Smear test and the mediating role of fear of COVID-19. A causal predictive approach was conducted and 572 female Filipino currently residing in the Philippines participated in the study. Data were gathered utilizing the Health Belief Model Scale for Cervical Cancer and the Pap Smear Test and the Fear of COVID-19 Scale with the Intention to Screen assessed by a structured question. With p-values of < .05 which is considered statistically significant in this study, the outcome of the mediation analysis shows that the mediated effect of fear of COVID-19 is not particularly (partial mediation) significant. There is still a significant direct association between health beliefs particularly on the benefits of Pap Smear test and health motivation and barriers to Pap Smear test with the intention to screen even without the presence of fear. In conclusion, the fear of COVID-19 plays a minor effect in the association between Filipino women's health beliefs and their intention to attend Pap smear testing.
