This is a descriptive, cross-sectional and observational study that determines the factors affecting the knowledge levels of oncology nurses for skin cancer and sun protection.
MATERIALS & METHODS: This study was performed on the members of the Turkish Oncology Nursing Association and oncology nurses working in hospitals in Turkey between November 2019 and March 2020. Data were collected by using the Nurse Information Form and Skin Cancer and Sun Knowledge (SCSK) scale. For data analysis, average and percentage calculations and multiple linear regression analyses were used. The significance level was set at p < .05.
We found those female nurses who were above 40 years of age and having darker skin tone due to excessive sun exposure, with a family history of skin cancer, and educated on skin cancer, performed better on the SCSK scale. We found a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of skin cancer and sun exposure. Using multiple regression analysis, a model was created based on the relationship between variables. In this model, the personality traits of oncology nurses are responsible for higher (91.1%) knowledge levels on skin cancer and sun exposure.
In conclusion, it is important to consider factors that will influence an individual's behaviour while developing skin cancer and sun protection programmes.
这是一项描述性、横断面和观察性研究，旨在确定影响肿瘤护士皮肤癌和防晒知识水平的因素。
本研究于 2019 年 11 月至 2020 年 3 月在土耳其的土耳其肿瘤护理协会成员和医院工作的肿瘤护士中进行。通过使用护士信息表和皮肤癌和防晒知识（SCSK）量表收集数据。数据分析采用平均值和百分比计算以及多元线性回归分析。显著性水平设为 p<.05。
我们发现，那些年龄在 40 岁以上、因过度暴露于阳光下而皮肤颜色较深、有皮肤癌家族史、接受过皮肤癌教育的女性护士在 SCSK 量表上的得分更高。我们发现皮肤癌和太阳暴露的平均得分之间存在统计学差异。使用多元回归分析，根据变量之间的关系创建了一个模型。在这个模型中，肿瘤护士的人格特质对皮肤癌和太阳暴露的知识水平有较高的影响（91.1%）。
总之，在制定皮肤癌和防晒计划时，考虑影响个人行为的因素很重要。
