to identify factors associated with older adults' knowledge, attitude and practice regarding skin cancer prevention.
this is a cross-sectional study, carried out with 120 older adults from a Basic Health Unit in Quixadá, Ceará, from September to November 2018.
individuals aged 60 to 69 years and working were statistically associated with adequate knowledge (p=0.038). Having light skin, eyes and hair was associated with adequate attitude (p=0.030). Having skin problems, such as bleeding wounds, was associated with adequate practice (p=0.016). With regard to inappropriate behavior for skin cancer prevention, there was a statistically significant association between working or having worked under direct exposure to the sun, inadequate knowledge (p=0.036), inadequate attitude (p=0.010) and having incomplete primary education and inadequate practice (p<0.001).
sociodemographic and clinical factors influence older adults' knowledge, attitude and practice regarding skin cancer prevention.
确定与老年人皮肤癌预防知识、态度和实践相关的因素。
这是一项横断面研究,于 2018 年 9 月至 11 月在塞阿拉州基沙达的一个基础卫生单位对 120 名老年人进行了研究。
60 至 69 岁和有工作的人在知识方面有统计学上的关联(p=0.038)。皮肤、眼睛和头发较浅与适当的态度相关(p=0.030)。有皮肤问题,如出血伤口,与适当的实践相关(p=0.016)。关于皮肤癌预防的不当行为,在有工作或曾在阳光下直接暴露工作、知识不足(p=0.036)、态度不当(p=0.010)以及仅有小学教育程度和实践不足方面,存在统计学显著关联(p<0.001)。
社会人口学和临床因素影响老年人对皮肤癌预防的知识、态度和实践。
