Effects of health beliefs, social support, and self-efficacy on sun protection behaviors among medical students: testing of an extended health belief model
AbstractSun protection behaviors (SPB) are important modifiable risk factors for skin cancer. As the most common malignancies in the world, skin cancers account for significant morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. Physicians play a key role in educating patients about proper SPB. Medical education provides the foundation for physician understanding of SPB and future patient education. The Health Belief Model (HBM) is a theoretical model that offers constructs to help explain health behaviors. This cross-sectional study examined a convenience sample of 186 medical student to assess their engagement in SPB through the ...

Healthy Skin: Cancer Education for School Teachers and Nurses Using a “Train and Equip” Method
Abstract Skin cancer, especially malignant melanoma, continues on the increase. Different interventions are attempting to impact on this problem. The approach used by the Partners in Health Sciences program at the University of Arkansas for Medical Science is to both “train” and, importantly, “equip” classroom teachers and school nurses in a “Healthy Skin” professional development curriculum. Each participant not only received face-to-face interactive content training in a workshop setting that lasted 6 h; each also received a resource kit of supplies, materials, and equipment used in the workshop and...

Melanoma Awareness Among Medical Students
AbstractMelanoma is the most aggressive skin cancer. Since diagnosis is visual, it is critical to evaluate if students acquire enough knowledge for early detection during medical school. To assess the melanoma knowledge of first-year (freshman) and sixth-year (senior) medical students, in a Brazilian Institution. It was a transversal and quantitative study. A questionnaire with sociodemographic data, knowledge about melanoma, and the habit of skin self-exam was filled out by medical students. A total of 128 first-year and 122 seniors students were included. All the sixth-year students knew melanoma as a skin cancer compare...

A focused curriculum in surgical oncology for the third-year medical students
We report our experience with a novel, short, and focused curriculum in surgical oncology for the third-year medical students.Methods: A 2-wk (2009–2010) and a 4-wk (2010–2011) curriculum in surgical oncology were developed for the third-year students at a tertiary-referral cancer center, including formal didactics, rotation in clinical service of students' choosing (breast, gastrointestinal, endocrine, or melanoma), and case-based learning and presentation. Paired pre- and postrotation questionnaires were prospectively completed, including 20 items assessing knowledge and four items assessing experience. Grading was a...

Skin Self-Examination Education for Early Detection of Melanoma: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Internet, Workbook, and In-Person Interventions
Conclusions: This study suggests that an electronic interactive intervention can deliver skills training comparable to other training methods, and the experience can be accommodated during the customary outpatient office visit with the physician. Further testing of the electronic interactive intervention’s role in the anxiety of the pair and pair-discovered melanomas upon self-screening will elucidate the impact of these tools on outcomes in at-risk patient populations.

Medical Student Exposure to Cancer Patients Whilst on Clinical Placement: a Retrospective Analyses of Clinical Log Books
AbstractIn Australia, one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85. Several studies have demonstrated a decline in the number of medical graduates having examined cancer patients during their training. The aim of this study was to evaluate the exposure of medical students to cancer patients during clinical placements. Eighty-eight logbooks (response rate  = 24.75%) containing 9430 patients were analysed. A total of 829 patients (8.79%) had a diagnosis of cancer. Most cancer patients were seen on surgical placements, whilst general practice placements returned the lowest numbers. ...

Residency Education on Sexual and Gender Minority Health
Dermatologists play a significant and multifaceted role in caring for sexual and gender minority (SGM) patients, an expansive population that includes individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, queer, transgender, and gender nonconforming and those with differences in sex development. Multiple social determinants, including stigma and discrimination in health care and a lack of knowledgeable clinicians, have created health inequities for SGM individuals, leading the National Institutes of Health in 2016 to designate SGM individuals as a health-disparity population. Sexual and gender minority patients also...

Integrating The Integrated Skin Exam film into medical education. Lofgreen, Seth; Lehrer, Michael; Bennett, Paige; Garg, Anit; Dunnick, Cory A
Abstract Background The mortality rate for melanoma continues to rise and the greatest improvement in melanoma survival is attributable to early detection with skin cancer screening exams. However, physicians feel that limited training in the examination of skin and limited clinical time both serve as barriers to adequately assess high-risk lesions. Objective To test the use of The Integrated Skin Exam film as an instructional tool to teach the examination of skin in a live classroom setting, outside of the purview of the original formal study. Methods Identical cross-sectional surveys were administered pre- an...

Occupational Sun Exposure Among Physical Education Teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools in Andalusia, Spain
Abstract Chronic sun exposure and sunburns are the main preventable causes of skin cancer. Due to the nature of their work, physical education teachers are at high risk for occupational skin cancer. This descriptive, cross-sectional study analyzes primary and secondary physical education teachers in Andalusia, Spain. All participants were invited to monitor their ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure using individual biologic dosimeters and record their photoprotection practices over 3 workdays. The teachers spent an average of 2.7  h outdoors and the mean personal UV radiation exposure was 309.9 J/m2 per day, a value th...
