Abstract

Objectives: Despite the substantial solar ultraviolet radiation experienced by Latino day laborers, little attention has been given to factors that are associated with sun protective behaviors. The purpose of this study was to examine psychological and nonpsychological predictors of sun protective behaviors among Latino day laborers.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included a nonrandom sample of 137 Latino day laborers recruited from Mississippi and Illinois. Participants completed a self-report survey instrument, available in English and Spanish, on sun protective behaviors.

Results: Multivariate regression results showed that sun protective behaviors were significantly greater among Latino day laborers: (a) who had greater perceptions that their supervisor also engaged in sun protective behaviors (β = 0.25, p ≤ 0.01); (b) who reported higher levels of health literacy (β = 0.23, p ≤ 0.001); (c) who have greater knowledge of skin cancer risk factors (β = 0.21, p ≤ 0.01); and (d) who have skin tone that was self-perceived to be more prone to sunburns (β = 0.19, p ≤ 0.01).

Conclusions: Latino day laborers possess marginal levels of skin cancer knowledge and engage minimally in sun protective behaviors. Skin cancer prevention interventions are warranted for this high-risk group, particularly in the locations in which Latino day laborers work.

拉丁裔日工防晒行为的预测因素。

目的:尽管拉丁裔日工经历了大量的太阳紫外线辐射，但很少有人关注与防晒行为相关的因素。本研究的目的是检查拉丁裔日工防晒行为的心理和非心理预测因素。方法:本横断面研究包括从密西西比州和伊利诺伊州招募的非随机样本137名拉丁裔日工。参与者完成了一份关于防晒行为的自我报告调查工具，有英语和西班牙语两种版本。结果:多因素回归结果显示，拉丁裔日工的防晒行为显著高于其他群体:(a)他们对上司也有防晒行为的认知程度更高(β = 0.25, p≤0.01);(b)卫生知识普及水平较高(β = 0.23, p≤0.001);(c)对皮肤癌危险因素了解程度较高(β = 0.21, p≤0.01);(d)自我认为肤色更容易晒伤的人(β = 0.19, p≤0.01)。结论:拉丁裔日工对皮肤癌的认知处于边缘水平，并且很少采取防晒措施。对这一高危人群，特别是拉丁裔日工工作的地区，采取皮肤癌预防措施是必要的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
