OBJECTIVE
To examine the extent of sun exposure, sun protection and experience of sunburn among young New Zealand children on summer weekends.
METHODS
In a telephone survey of 1243 respondents, those with children in the household were asked about sun exposure and protection for the youngest child in the family. Information was obtained for 285 children aged from infancy to 10 years.
RESULTS
Over 90% of the children were reported to be outside on the preceding Saturday and/or Sunday; 7% of those outside experienced some degree of sunburn. The worst burning was on the face, head, neck or ears. On either day about half the children were wearing sunscreen and 60% were wearing a hat. Parental use of sun protection was the strongest predictor of sun protection among the children.
CONCLUSIONS
While reports of sun protection among young children were encouraging, many children in the community are still at high risk of sunburn. Efforts to promote sun protection as a family responsibility may reduce the experience of burning among the young.
目的
调查新西兰幼儿在夏季周末的日晒程度、防晒情况及晒伤经历。
方法
在对1243名受访者进行的电话调查中，询问了家中有孩子的受访者关于其家中最小孩子的日晒和防晒情况。获取了285名年龄从婴儿到10岁儿童的相关信息。
结果
据报告，超过90%的儿童在前一个周六和/或周日外出；外出儿童中有7%经历了某种程度的晒伤。晒伤最严重的部位是面部、头部、颈部或耳朵。在这两天中的任何一天，约一半的儿童涂抹了防晒霜，60%的儿童戴了帽子。父母的防晒措施是儿童防晒的最强预测因素。
结论
虽然幼儿防晒的报告令人鼓舞，但社区中的许多儿童仍面临晒伤的高风险。将推广防晒作为家庭责任的努力可能会减少幼儿的晒伤经历。
