To investigate awareness of sun protection behaviours in a sample of primary school children in New Zealand.
Information was collected from 824 primary school children in New Zealand using a drawing and writing technique.
The data revealed a bias towards sunscreen as a method of sun protection compared with other methods such as clothing and the use of shade. Comparisons between results obtained from children resident in Australia and England indicated a greater awareness of sun protection methods amongst the children from Australia and New Zealand compared with those children living in England.
Children as young as 5 and 6 can describe the consequences of overexposure to the sun, and can illustrate methods of sun protection. Sunscreen is seen as the main method of sun protection.
调查新西兰小学生样本中防晒行为的认知情况。
采用绘画和写作技巧，从新西兰的824名小学生中收集信息。
数据显示，与衣物和使用遮阳处等其他方法相比，儿童更倾向于将防晒霜作为防晒方法。对澳大利亚和英国儿童所得结果的比较表明，与生活在英国的儿童相比，澳大利亚和新西兰的儿童对防晒方法的认知更高。
年仅5岁和6岁的儿童能够描述过度暴露在阳光下的后果，并能说明防晒方法。防晒霜被视为主要的防晒方法。
