Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Indoor tanning is a major modifiable risk factor in the development of both melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers. Investigation of behavior-altering interventions is an area of active research. As with other preventive measures, screening of high-risk populations can be an important aspect of a multimodality public health intervention. This study sought to further the limited understanding of indoor tanning screening practices in the primary care setting.
UNASSIGNED: Physicians practicing within the scope of primary care in the northeast were surveyed in 2022 on practice patterns around the frequency of indoor tanning screening, barriers encountered with implementing screening, and actions taken with a positive screen. Research methodology adhered to the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist.
UNASSIGNED: Of 26 primary care physicians, only 7.7% routinely screened for indoor tanning. Barriers identified included time limitations (76.9%) and prioritization of other health concerns (96.2%). All primary care physicians (100%) reacted to reports of indoor tanning with an intervention, most commonly counseling on the risks of indoor tanning (92.6%).
UNASSIGNED: This data suggest that screening for indoor tanning use could be improved. The authors recommend the incorporation of a standardized screening question regarding indoor tanning in intake forms.
摘要:
室内晒黑是黑色素瘤和非黑色素瘤皮肤癌发展的主要可改变的危险因素。行为改变干预措施的调查是一个活跃的研究领域。与其他预防措施一样,高危人群的筛查可能是多模式公共卫生干预的一个重要方面.这项研究旨在进一步加深对初级保健环境中室内晒黑筛查实践的有限理解。
在2022年对东北初级保健范围内执业的医师进行了室内晒黑筛查频率的实践模式调查,实施筛选遇到的障碍,并采取积极的行动。研究方法遵循JoannaBriggs研究所关键评估清单。
在26名初级保健医生中,只有7.7%的人例行筛查室内晒黑。确定的障碍包括时间限制(76.9%)和其他健康问题的优先次序(96.2%)。所有初级保健医生(100%)对干预室内晒黑的报告做出反应,最常见的咨询室内晒黑的风险(92.6%)。
这些数据表明,可以改善室内晒黑的筛查。作者建议在摄入形式中纳入有关室内晒黑的标准化筛查问题。
