Nurse Practitioners’ Behavior Regarding Teaching Testicular Self‐Examination

Abstract

The results have implications for research, practice, and education. The theory was shown to be useful as a framework for the study of NP behavior. The results highlight the importance of including strategies to promote positive values as components of nurse preparation. For practice, patient adherence to illness detection activities may be fostered by positive attitude, perception that significant others also value these activities, and belief that failure to do so may result in personal loss.

Nurses’ patient-education work: conditional factors - an integrative review

“…Tse and So (2008) used the Preoperative Teaching Questionnaire (PTQ) while Taggart (2009) used the Preventive Medicine Attitudes and Activities Questionnaire. Kleier (2004) used a questionnaire based on Ajzen & Fishbein (1980) constructed by Minnick (1980). In the majority of studies ( n = 15), the objectives were related to perceptions of the patient educator role.…”

“…Beliefs about the role are also related to beliefs about patient learning (Kleier 2004, Virtanen et al. 2007) – i.e.…”

Links Between Perceptions and Practices in Patient Education: A Systematic Review

“…The “causal” link was most often considered ( n = 10; 50%). Nevertheless, 40% of the studies ( n = 8) aimed to establish an association (Chwalow et al, 1994; Cochran et al, 2015; Elovainio et al, 2013; Esposito & Fitzpatrick, 2011; Kleier, 2004; Lemmens et al, 2009; Millstein & Marcell, 2003; van Dillen et al, 2005). Finally, two studies (10%) did not initially consider links between perceptions and practices (Bondarianzadeh et al, 2011; Woivalin et al, 2004).…”

“…Theoretical frameworks were sometimes ( n = 7; 35%) mentioned. The frameworks were as follows: the theory of reasoned behavior (Coleman, 2003; Kleier, 2004); the theory of planned behavior (Ampt et al, 2009; Cannon-Breland et al, 2013); the process of experience by Le Boterf (Vigil-Ripoche, 2006); Pender’s health promotion theory (Esposito & Fitzpatrick, 2011); Cretin and Lin’s approaches (Lemmens et al, 2009); the expectancy theory (Lemmens et al, 2009), and the common sense model (Cannon-Breland et al, 2013). Only two studies (Esposito & Fitzpatrick, 2011; Vigil-Ripoche, 2006) used them in their original format.…”

“…They viewed the practice–perception links from a distal perspective. In this instance, either the intention of practice (Kleier, 2004) or the “communication style,” a kind of generic practice (van Dillen et al, 2005) exert a mediating effect.…”
