This study was intended to investigate the perception of tanning bed use among college students.
A 15-question survey was given to young adults regarding tanning perceptions.
Rochester Community College in Rochester, Minnesota.
Forty-four respondents between 18 and 51 years of age.
Data was collected via a self-reported questionnaire.
In this study, 50 percent of participants were not educated on the risks of melanoma, and 68 percent were not interested in receiving information on melanoma and completing a follow-up survey. More specifically, 63 percent versus 89 percent of participants with no tanning bed versus some tanning bed use did not want information regarding melanoma, respectively. This study also shows that more tanning bed users believe tanning helps prevent burning than non-tanning bed users. Fifty-seven percent of the 35 participants who had never used a tanning bed thought that they never prevent sunburn, while only 11 percent of the nine participants who had used a tanning bed in the past thought that they never prevent sunburn, which was statistically significant.
本研究旨在调查大学生对使用晒黑床的认知情况。
针对年轻人进行了一项包含15个问题的关于晒黑认知的调查。
明尼苏达州罗切斯特市的罗切斯特社区学院。
44名年龄在18至51岁之间的受访者。
通过自我报告问卷收集数据。
在本研究中,50%的参与者未接受过黑色素瘤风险的教育,68%的参与者对获取黑色素瘤相关信息及完成后续调查不感兴趣。更具体地说,从未使用过晒黑床的参与者中有63%,而使用过晒黑床的参与者中有89%不希望获取有关黑色素瘤的信息。这项研究还表明,与未使用晒黑床的人相比,更多使用晒黑床的人认为晒黑有助于预防晒伤。在35名从未使用过晒黑床的参与者中,57%的人认为他们从未预防过晒伤,而在过去使用过晒黑床的9名参与者中,只有11%的人认为他们从未预防过晒伤,这具有统计学意义。
