Abstract

Objective: The increase of skin cancer incidence all over the world on recent years is in parallel with the increase in sun exposure. The purpose of this study was to investigate sun protection behaviour and knowledge about harmful effects of the sun on skin and skin cancer ethiopathogenesis among doctors working inAdnan Menderes University Hospital. Methods: Aquestionnaire containing 26 questions was prepared for the cross-sectional designed study and given to 330 doctors to be answered (158 specialists and 172 residents).Results: 196 doctors answered the questionnaire. Mean age was 34.1±7.1, 51.5% of the study population were women and 48.5% were men. Staying under the shade, not going out in midday, use of sunglasses were among the first three methods of sun protection practiced by the doctors. Use of sun protection product most of the time or everytime was in the 4st place (56%).Women stated more frequent use of sun protection product than men. Mean number of correct answers given to 9 questions about sun effects and skin cancer was 5.4±1.4. Immunsuppresive effect of the sun was known by 8.7% and better sun protection offered by clothes with dark colour was known by 15.3%. Doctors with sun sensitive phenotype and who had given more correct answers stated more frequent use of sun protection (p

Özet

Amaç: Tüm dünyada deri kanseri insidansındaki artış, güneşe maruziyetteki artış ile paralel seyretmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Hastanesinde çalışan hekimlerin güneşten korunma davranışlarını, güneşin derideki zararlı etkileri ve deri kanseri etyopatogenezi konusunda bilgi düzeylerini araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki çalışma için 26 soru içeren bir anket formu hazırlandı ve 158'si uzman hekim ve 172'si uzmanlık öğrencisi olmak üzere toplam 330 hekimden anketleri yanıtlamaları istendi.Bulgular: Anketler 196 hekim tarafından yanıtlandı. Çalışma popülasyonunun yaş ortalaması 34.1±7.1'di, %51.5'i kadın, %48.5'i erkekti. Gölgede kalma, öğle saatlerinde dışarı çıkmama, gözlük kullanımı hekimlerin en sık kullandığı ilk 3 güneşten korunma yöntemiydi. “Genellikle” ya da “her zaman” güneşten koruyucu ürün kullanımı ise 4. sırada yer alan bir yöntemdi (%56). Kadınlar erkeklere göre daha sıklıkla güneşten koruyucu ürün kullanmaktaydı. Güneşin etkileri ve deri kanserleri konusunda 9 soruya verilen doğru yanıtların ortalaması 5.4±1.4 idi. Güneşin immünsupresif etkisi %8.7 hekim tarafından, koyu renk giysilerin açık renklilere göre güneşten daha iyi koruyucu olduğu ise %15.3'ü tarafından bilinmişti. Güneşe duyarlı deri tipine sahip ve güneşin derideki etkileri, deri kanserleri ve korunma yollarına ilişkin bilgi seviyesi yüksek hekimler daha sıklıkla güneşten korunma yöntemlerine başvurduklarını belirtmişlerdi (p
