摘要

目的:本研究旨在评估土耳其人对痣和皮肤癌的误解和迷信以及对黑色素瘤的了解,并比较不同性别、教育水平和年龄组的结果。 研究方法研究于 2020 年 8 月至 2021 年 11 月在一家三级皮肤科门诊进行。数据通过自填式问卷收集。问题涉及人口统计学数据、对痣特征的认识和看法、对痣和皮肤癌关系的看法以及黑色素瘤知识。 结果:共纳入了 517 名患者,其中女性占 69.1%(n=357),男性占 30.9%(n=160)。参与者中,15.3%(n=79)听说过黑色素瘤,84.7%(n=438)没有听说过。16.2%(n=84)的患者回答切除痣会导致患皮肤癌的风险。50.5%的患者回答痣会转化为皮肤癌。44.3%的患者认为受创伤的痣会变成皮肤癌。这些观点在女性中更为常见,并因年龄和教育水平的不同而有所差异。 结论痣和皮肤癌仍然存在误解和神话,这是公共卫生方面的重大问题,因为它们给皮肤癌的治疗和管理带来了困难。有必要通过教育计划提供准确的知识,以消除误解。 关键词:痣、痦子、皮肤癌、黑色素瘤
