    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of depressive symptoms and self esteem in patients practicing clean intermittent catheterization for neurogenic bladder caused by spinal cord injury. Materials and Methods: Thirty-four patients who were on CIC for spinal cord injury, were included in this descriptive, cross-sectional study. The questionnaire prepared by the researchers was used for the determination of the demographic characteristics of the patients. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to determine the levels of depressive symptoms and the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory to assess the self-esteem of the patients. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 12.0. The obtained data were analyzed using %, x, t and Mann Whitney U test. Results: In this study, it was found that 55,9% of the patients showed no depressive symptoms, 11,8% low levels of depressive symptoms and 8,8% high levels of depressive symptoms. Additionally 61,8 % of the patients had low self-esteem. There were no statistically significant differences between depressive symptoms and gender, cause of trauma, level of injury, and the duration of catheterization (p >= 0.05); whereas there was a statistically significant difference between the levels of depression and the patient's age, occupational status and ability to perform self-catheterization (p <= 0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated the importance of emotional problems and of psychosocial diagnosis and support in increasing life satisfaction in this group of patients.

    Inadequate Knowledge Levels of Turkish Male University Students about Testicular Self-Examination
    (Asian Pacific Organization Cancer Prevention, 2011) Ozbas, Ayfer; Cavdar, Ikbal; Findik, Ummu Yildiz; Akyuz, Nuray
    Introduction: Testicular cancer occurs in men aged between 15-35, accounting for 1% of all male cancers. The most common symptom is a painless swelling in the early period, so it is important for individuals to be conscious about and perform testicular self-examination. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and performance of testicular self-examination (TSE) in male university students. Methods: The target population of the study consisted of 275 male university students aged between 20-25. Data were collected using a 27 item-questionnaire developed by the investigators consisting of 3 sections: 1) socio-demographic characteristics; 2) risk factors for testicular cancer; 3) practices related to TSE. The data obtained were analyzed using frequency distribution and percentages. Results: 88% of the students (n=242) reported having no knowledge of TSE, whereas 36% (n=12) of the remaining 12% (n=33) reported having performed TSE. With regard to the reasons for non-performance, 88% (n=242) of the participants said they did not know about TSE, 6% (n=17) said they did not attach importance to TSE and 4% (n=11) were afraid. Conclusion: The results of our study demonstrated that adolescent males should be educated by nurses about testicular tumors and their symptoms as well as TSE performance.
