The effectiveness of a short-duration presentation of the educational material 'You and Your Skin' was tested on 184 adolescents (age 13-15) at the Year 7 and 8 levels. A non-equivalent control group design was used with pre-testing and post-testing 3 months after the intervention. The intervention increased the students' knowledge of known risks factors for skin cancers. However, the students' attitudes to abstaining from sunbathing and tanning was not significantly affected. The effect of the intervention on the stage of change was primarily a progression from the precontemplation stage to the contemplation stage regarding avoiding the mid-day sun. We conclude that a brief presentation of the educational kit 'You and Your Skin' can be used to increase knowledge, but there is a need for a more extensive intervention effort to affect students' readiness to change their behavior and attitude towards sunbathing and tanning. Therefore, it is important to emphasize the necessity of using the educational kit as a multi-lesson programme with its several group exercises.
针对184名7至8年级、年龄在13至15岁的青少年,测试了简短展示教育材料《你与你的皮肤》的效果。采用非等效对照组设计,并在干预3个月后进行了预测试和后测试。干预提高了学生对已知皮肤癌风险因素的认识。然而,学生对避免日光浴和晒黑的态度并未受到显著影响。干预对改变阶段的影响主要是在避免中午晒太阳方面,从无打算阶段进展到了思考阶段。我们得出结论,简短展示教育工具包《你与你的皮肤》可用于增加知识,但需要更广泛的干预措施来影响学生改变日光浴和晒黑行为及态度的意愿。因此,强调将教育工具包作为包含多个小组练习的多课程项目来使用的必要性很重要。
