Evaluation of Behavior of Sun Protection in University Students and Staff: Face-to-face Survey Study

Year 2019, Volume: 9 Issue: 2, 310 - 318, 28.06.2019

Abstract


Objective:
We aims of our study are as follows: 1) to determine the data and
socio-demographic characteristics related to sun protective behavior
during the summer months in the population who came for education and
work from every region of the country, 2) to compare sun protective
behaviors and intentional sun exposure factors in the highly educated
population (college graduate or university students) as well as
intentional sun exposure factors. We intend to reflect in this study
the use of sunscreen cream and the knowledge and behavior about sun
protection methods of the students of University (SU) and hospital
personnel working in University Faculty of Medicine Research and
Training Hospital(SURTH).


Material
and methods:
The
study was held on the subjects consisting of student and staff
volunteers of SU and SURTH. One thousand three hundred eighty-nine
(69.2%) of these volunteers were students in SU, 616 (30.7%) of them
were staff working in SURTH.


Results


The
study was conducted on 2005 individuals with face-to-face interviews.
Of the participants, 53.4% (n = 1070) were male and 46.6% (n = 935)
were female.


Conclusion







The
incidence of malignant melanoma and other skin cancers is increasing.
We believe that the researches and warnings were still inadequate on
these issues. The behaviors of protection from the sun were not
caused because they want to be healthy, they were caused to avoid the
inconvenience due to the sun while driving and playing sports.
