Abstract:
Objective To investigate effects of disease cognitive education and behavior intervention on acute testicular torsion of adolescents. Methods A total of 100 cases with acute adolescent testicular torsion were randomly divided into observation group and control group, and 50 cases in each group. The patients in control group received conventional health education, while patients in observation group were administrated cognitive psychology education and behavioral intervention. We scored health education on testicular torsion knowledge by applying self-made cognitive questionnaire, and then compared the differences of adverse events and compliance of health education between two groups. Results The scores of health education and health compliance on adolescent testicular torsion disease were (95. 65 ± 10. 35) and (80. 30 ± 16. 30) in observation group, while they were (58.15 ±16.85) and (73. 70 ± 17. 20) in control group (t =20. 386, 4. 184; P <0. 05). There was no postoperative incision infection and testicular atrophy in observation group. However, there was 15 incision infection and 10 testicular atrophy in control group (χ2 =14. 326, 10. 358; P<0. 05). Conclusions Public education on testicular torsion knowledge can contribute adolescent patients to be aware of the dangers of testicular torsion, give importance to treatment timing, and increase the rate of early diagnosis and treatment.
