Abstract: (46 Views)
Background and Aim: Skin cancer is the most preventable type of cancer. Farmers, due to their work under the sun's ultraviolet radiation, are at a higher risk of developing skin cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the determinants of skin cancer prevention behaviors in farmers.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among farmers in the rural of Javanroud city in the west of Iran. Information was collected by questionnaire and interview. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 16 statistical software. Crude and adjusted linear regression was used to measure the determinants of skin cancer prevention behaviors.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 36.47 years. Perceived self-efficacy (ß=0.193, P=0.004) and response costs (ß=0.145, P=0.025) were the most important influencing determinants on skin cancer prevention behaviors.
Conclusion: It seems that if the development of interventions to promote skin cancer prevention behaviors among farmers focuses on promoting perceived self-efficacy and reducing response costs, it can seek useful findings in promoting skin cancer prevention behaviors.
