OBJECTIVES
United States Postal Service letter carriers are exposed to long bouts of UVR and thus are vulnerable to skin cancer. While previous studies have shown that occupational sun protection is often deficient, few studies have examined outdoor workers' behavior during leisure time.
METHODS
Subjects (n = 2,660) self-reported widebrim hat and sunscreen use over the past five workdays and past two non-working days using Likert-type scales. Generalized linear mixed models and generalized estimating equations were used to compare hat and sunscreen rates and predictors during occupational and leisure time.
RESULTS
On average, carriers spent 3.9 h outside during workdays and 3.3 h during non-working days. Sunscreen and widebrim hat use during the workday is low and rates of use are significantly lower during non-working days.
CONCLUSIONS
Sun safety interventions for carriers should encourage sun protection at all times when outdoors.
目的
美国邮政服务邮递员长时间暴露于紫外线辐射下，因此易患皮肤癌。虽然先前的研究表明职业防晒措施往往不足，但很少有研究考察户外工作者在休闲时间的行为。
方法
受试者（n = 2660）使用李克特量表自我报告过去五个工作日和过去两个非工作日使用宽边帽和防晒霜的情况。使用广义线性混合模型和广义估计方程比较职业和休闲时间的帽子和防晒霜使用率及预测因素。
结果
邮递员工作日平均在户外停留3.9小时，非工作日为3.3小时。工作日使用防晒霜和宽边帽的比例较低，非工作日的使用率明显更低。
结论
针对邮递员的阳光安全干预措施应鼓励其在户外时始终做好防晒。
