There has been a significant increase in the cases of skin cancer throughout the world in the last few decades. Although the mortality rate of skin cancer is relatively low, its impact on other health aspects is high and the treatment of undesired aesthetic damage is costly. According to disability-adjusted life year rates (DALY), 1.5 million days are estimated to be lost from people's lives every year worldwide due to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The purpose of this study was to raise sun health awareness levels among health services vocational school students. A total of 414 students were included in the analysis. A questionnaire form was used to evaluate knowledge, attitudes and behaviours among the survey sample. The average level of knowledge concerning the effects of the sun was found to be 8.64 ± 2.5 out of 15 points. All socio-demographic factors were analysed, but the only significant variables found were age and the possible presence of skin cancer within the immediate family (p < 0.05).
在过去几十年中，全世界的皮肤癌病例显著增加。尽管皮肤癌的死亡率相对较低，但它对其他健康方面的影响很高，而且治疗不理想的美容损伤成本很高。根据残疾调整生命年率（DALY），全世界每年估计有 150 万人因紫外线（UV）辐射而失去生命。本研究旨在提高卫生服务职业学校学生的太阳健康意识水平。共有 414 名学生被纳入分析。使用问卷形式评估了调查样本的知识、态度和行为。发现有关太阳影响的平均知识水平为 15 分中的 8.64 ± 2.5 分。分析了所有社会人口统计学因素，但唯一发现的显著变量是年龄和直系亲属中可能存在皮肤癌（p < 0.05）。
