A systematic review and meta-analyses were conducted to identify and review research examining the impact of appearance-based interventions on sun protection intentions and/or ultraviolet (UV) exposure behaviour.
A search of 16 databases including PsycARTICLES, Cochrane Library and Web of Knowledge was conducted to identify studies examining the impact of appearance-based interventions on reducing UV exposure and/or increasing sun protection intentions and behaviours. A total of 21 articles met the inclusion criteria, and these studies were subjected to a systematic review and meta-analyses to determine the effectiveness of the interventions.
Interventions used a variety of techniques including UV technology and photoaging information. Study design and outcome measures varied. The research indicated that appearance-based interventions have a positive effect on UV exposure and sun protection intentions and behaviour.
Findings suggest that interventions based on the appearance-damaging effects of UV exposure, and the positive effects of sun protection, may have a role in health promotion. It is concluded that there is a need for further research incorporating a wider range of participants, and using qualitative and mixed methods designs.
What is already known on the subject? Recreational exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, are the primary causes of all melanomas, leading to skin cancer. A previous systematic review (Dodd & Forshaw, ) looking at the efficacy of appearance-focussed interventions in skin cancer prevention, suggested that there were significant effects for UV protection behaviour after such interventions. What does this study add? An up-to-date systematic review of studies that has carried out appearance-based interventions to reduce UV exposure and/or increase sun protection intentions and behaviours. A meta-analysis of data providing statistical evidence indicating that appearance-based interventions have a positive effect on UV exposure and sun protection intentions and behaviour.
进行系统评价和荟萃分析，以识别和回顾研究，考察基于外观的干预措施对防晒意图和/或紫外线（UV）暴露行为的影响。
对包括 PsycARTICLES、Cochrane 图书馆和 Web of Knowledge 在内的 16 个数据库进行搜索，以确定研究基于外观的干预措施对减少 UV 暴露和/或增加防晒意图和行为的影响。共有 21 篇文章符合纳入标准，并对这些研究进行了系统评价和荟萃分析，以确定干预措施的有效性。
干预措施使用了多种技术，包括紫外线技术和光老化信息。研究设计和结果测量指标各不相同。研究表明，基于外观的干预措施对 UV 暴露和防晒意图和行为有积极影响。
研究结果表明，基于紫外线暴露对外观的损害效应以及防晒的积极影响的干预措施可能在健康促进方面发挥作用。结论是，需要进一步研究，纳入更广泛的参与者，并使用定性和混合方法设计。
在这个主题上已经知道什么？娱乐性暴露于紫外线（UV）辐射是所有黑色素瘤的主要原因，导致皮肤癌。之前的一项系统评价（Dodd 和 Forshaw，）研究了外观焦点干预措施在皮肤癌预防中的效果，表明此类干预措施后，UV 保护行为有显著效果。这项研究增加了什么？对已经进行了基于外观的干预措施以减少 UV 暴露和/或增加防晒意图和行为的研究进行了最新的系统评价。对提供表明基于外观的干预措施对 UV 暴露和防晒意图和行为有积极影响的统计证据的数据进行了荟萃分析。
