Improving Skin Cancer Knowledge and Screening Among Older Chinese Americans
Asian Americans often experience delays in skin cancer diagnoses, which may be due to low awareness and limited skin cancer knowledge. Prior evidence has suggested that total body skin examination (TBSE) is a simple yet effective way to identify skin cancer early. This nurse practitioner-led quality improvement project aimed to increase skin cancer knowledge and TBSE uptake among 77 Chinese Americans aged ≥65 years. A culturally tailored skin health education was implemented in a dermatology office and a senior center. After the education session, participants demonstrated a significant increase in skin cancer knowledge and were more willing to receive TBSE.
