Multicomponent Check-It-Out project interventions were found to be effective at increasing thorough skin self-examinations (TSSE). Application of this research will benefit from determining the most important interventions for promoting TSSE.
Identification of the most important Check-It-Out intervention components for promoting TSSE.
This study analyzed the responses of the 567 participants who were randomized into the skin examination intervention group and who did not report performing TSSE at their baseline interview.
Watching the video, using the hand mirror, shower card, American Cancer Society brochure, sample photographs, and finding the health educator helpful were associated with performing TSSE at 2 months, 12 months, or both.
Use of the materials within the skin group was not randomly assigned. All data were based on participant self-report.
As future interventions to increase TSSE are developed, the identified useful components will be important to include.
研究发现多组分“检查一下”项目干预措施在增加全面皮肤自我检查(TSSE)方面是有效的。确定促进TSSE的最重要干预措施将有助于这项研究的应用。
确定促进TSSE的“检查一下”干预措施中最重要的组成部分。
本研究分析了567名被随机分配到皮肤检查干预组且在基线访谈中未报告进行TSSE的参与者的反应。
观看视频、使用手持镜子、淋浴卡、美国癌症协会宣传册、示例照片以及认为健康教育工作者有帮助与在2个月、12个月或两者时进行TSSE相关。
皮肤组内材料的使用并非随机分配。所有数据均基于参与者的自我报告。
随着未来开发增加TSSE的干预措施,确定的有用组成部分将很重要,需要纳入其中。
