OBJECTIVES
Despite the substantial solar ultraviolet radiation experienced by Latino day laborers, little attention has been given to factors that are associated with sun protective behaviors. The purpose of this study was to examine psychological and nonpsychological predictors of sun protective behaviors among Latino day laborers.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study included a nonrandom sample of 137 Latino day laborers recruited from Mississippi and Illinois. Participants completed a self-report survey instrument, available in English and Spanish, on sun protective behaviors.
RESULTS
Multivariate regression results showed that sun protective behaviors were significantly greater among Latino day laborers: (a) who had greater perceptions that their supervisor also engaged in sun protective behaviors ( = 0.25, ≤ 0.01); (b) who reported higher levels of health literacy ( = 0.23, ≤ 0.001); (c) who have greater knowledge of skin cancer risk factors ( = 0.21, ≤ 0.01); and (d) who have skin tone that was self-perceived to be more prone to sunburns ( = 0.19, ≤ 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS
Latino day laborers possess marginal levels of skin cancer knowledge and engage minimally in sun protective behaviors. Skin cancer prevention interventions are warranted for this high-risk group, particularly in the locations in which Latino day laborers work.
目的
尽管拉丁裔日工遭受大量太阳紫外线辐射，但与防晒行为相关的因素却很少受到关注。本研究的目的是调查拉丁裔日工防晒行为的心理和非心理预测因素。
方法
这项横断面研究纳入了从密西西比州和伊利诺伊州招募的137名拉丁裔日工的非随机样本。参与者完成了一份关于防晒行为的自我报告调查问卷，该问卷有英文和西班牙文两种版本。
结果
多变量回归结果显示，拉丁裔日工中防晒行为显著更多的是：(a) 那些更认为其主管也采取防晒行为的人（β = 0.25，P≤0.01）；(b) 那些报告健康素养水平较高的人（β = 0.23，P≤0.001）；(c) 那些对皮肤癌风险因素了解更多的人（β = 0.21，P≤0.01）；以及(d) 那些自我感觉肤色更容易晒伤的人（β = 0.19，P≤0.01）。
结论
拉丁裔日工对皮肤癌的了解程度有限，防晒行为最少。有必要针对这个高危群体开展皮肤癌预防干预措施，特别是在拉丁裔日工工作的场所。
