Predictors of skin self-examination before and after a melanoma diagnosis: the role of medical advice and patient¿s level of education
Conclusions:
These findings suggest that different patient subgroups display varied knowledge base, readiness for change, and receptiveness for medical advice. Thus, interventions seeking to enhance skin self-exam practice may be most effective when the individual’s psychosocial characteristics are taken into account.
