Abstract

Background and Design: Sunlight exposure during childhood is one of the main risk factors for skin cancer in adulthood. Therefore, one primary strategy to prevent skin cancer is to protect children from ultraviolet (UV) light. This study aimed to assess the risk level, perceptions, and knowledge level of skin cancer and the associated factors in parents of kindergarteners, as well as determine sun protection behaviors for both parents and their children. Materials and Methods: This was designed as a cross-sectional study, and data were collected from the parents of children at 10 kindergartens associated with the District National Education Directorate. Parents of 1,147 students participated in the study. Results: The Skin Cancer and Sun Knowledge Scale mean score of parents was 13.01±3.43 (range: 0-25) and the Sun Protection Behavior Scale mean score was 25.46±5.73 (range: 8-40). The sun protection behaviors that were least preferred by parents for their children were protective clothes (37.3%) and sun protection products (29.0%). The most common protection behaviors of parents involved making their child wear a hat (25.2%) and stay in the shade (22.0%). Sun protection behaviors of children were affected by the child’s age, gender, skin type, time spent in sunlight during summer, formation of sunburn during the last year, having a medical examination for skin, and skin cancer risk perception (p

Özet

Amaç: Çocukluk çağında güneş ışığına maruziyeti, yetişkinlikte deri kanseri için ana risk faktörlerinden biridir. Bu yüzden deri kanserlerini önleme kampanyalarının ana hedeflerinden biri çocukları ultraviyole (UV) ışınlarından korumaktır. Bu çalışma, anaokulunda çocuğu olan ebeveynlerin deri kanseri ile ilgili risk düzeylerini, algılarını, bilgi düzeylerini ortaya çıkarmak ve bunları etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Ayrıca hem kendileri hem çocukları için uyguladıkları güneşten korunma davranışlarının belirlenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki bu araştırma, İlçe Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü’ne bağlı 10 anaokulundaki çocukların ebeveynleri ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmaya 1.147 öğrencinin ebeveyni katılmıştır. Bulgular: Ebeveynlerin Deri Kanseri ve Güneş Bilgi Ölçeği puan ortalaması 13,01±3,43, Güneşten Korunma Davranış Ölçeği puan ortalaması ise 25,46±5,73 olarak bulunmuştur. Güneşten Korunma Davranış Ölçeği alt boyutları incelendiğinde; ebeveynlerin güneşten kaçınma puan ortalamasının 12,52±1,95, güneşten koruyucu ürün kullanma puan ortalamasının 7,97±4,02 ve şapka kullanma puan ortalamasının 4,95±2,5olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ebeveynlerin çocukları için en az uyguladıkları güneşten korunma davranışı giysilerle (%37,3) ve güneş koruyucu ürünlerle korumadır (%29,0). En sık uyguladıkları koruma davranışı ise çocuklarının şapka takmalarını (%25,2) ve gölgede durmalarını (%22,0) sağlamalarıdır. Ebeveynlerin çocuklarını güneşten koruma davranışlarını çocuğunun yaşı, cinsiyeti, deri tipi, yaz mevsiminde açık alanda zaman geçirmesi, son bir yılda güneş yanığı oluşması, deri muayenesi yapması ve deri kanseri riski algısı düzeyinin etkilediği saptanmıştır (p
