ImportanceQualitative studies serve as a tool for dermatologists and researchers in dermatology to engage with and understand perspectives of populations with different cultures and backgrounds.ObjectiveTo assess (1) current approaches to qualitative dermatologic research and (2) the publication trends of these studies with the aim to inform researchers regarding qualitative research and its significance and applicability in the field of dermatology.Evidence ReviewA scoping review was conducted in which PubMed and CINAHL Plus were searched using dermatology AND qualitative, dermatology, and 7 qualitative methods terms. Studies were selected for inclusion using 3 levels of screening. Level 1 excluded articles published in a language other than English. Level 2 excluded articles of studies involving mixed methods, quantitative methods, systematic review, and meta-analysis. Level 3 excluded articles that were not specific to general dermatology, medical dermatology, pediatric dermatology, dermatologic surgery, dermatopathology, or education and training associated with dermatology. Finally, all duplicates were removed. The searches were conducted from July 23 to 28, 2022. All articles obtained from PubMed and CINAHL Plus searches were recorded in REDCap.FindingsA total of 1398 articles were reviewed, and of these, 249 (17.8%) were qualitative dermatology studies. Common qualitative methods included content analysis (58 [23.3%]) and grounded theory/constant comparison (35 [14.1%]). Individual interviews were the most common data collection method (198 [79.5%]), and patients (174 [69.9%]) were the most common participant type. Patient experience (137 [55.0%]) was the most common investigated topic. Overall, 131 qualitative studies (52.6%) in dermatology were published in dermatology journals, and 120 qualitative studies (48.2%) in dermatology were published between 2020 and 2022.Conclusions and RelevanceQualitative research in dermatology is becoming more prevalent. There is value in qualitative research, and we encourage researchers in dermatology to incorporate qualitative methods in their studies.

“…Although the questionnaires served as important references, no questions were directly taken from any of these instruments, as they were all developed in countries of a different ethnicity, geography, and climate compared to the Philippines. Hence, we utilized a separate conceptual framework that explored additional aspects of sunlight exposure in Filipinos that may not have been covered in the existing questionnaires [11]. A unique feature of our questionnaire is the inclusion of questions pertaining to the perceived risks and benefits of sunlight exposure, which are significant determinants of an individual’s sunlight exposure practices.…”

“…Based on their relevance (mainly the inclusion of different sun exposure variables and/or correlation with serum 25-OHD), the SEQs developed by Cargill et al [9] in Australia, Hanwell et al [8] in Italy, Humayun et al [6] in Pakistan, and Wu et al [7] in Hong Kong were used as references for this study. In addition, an existing conceptual framework on the attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs of urban adult Filipinos on sunlight exposure was also used (Figure 1) [11].…”

OBJECTIVESTo develop and validate a self-reported sunlight exposure questionnaire (SEQ) for urban adult Filipinos.METHODSThe study included adults (19-76 years old) in Metro Manila, Philippines, well-versed in the Filipino (Tagalog) language and had resided in Metro Manila for at least 1 year. Exclusion criteria included pregnancy, active skin disorders, and immunocompromised states. An expert panel created a questionnaire in Likert-scale format based on a conceptual framework and 4 existing instruments. The study proceeded in 4 phases: questionnaire item development, translation and back-translation, pretesting, and construct validity and reliability testing using factor analysis, the Cronbach alpha coefficient, and the paired t-test.RESULTSA 25-item, self-administered, Filipino (Tagalog) SEQ answerable using a 4-point Likert scale was created. The questionnaire was administered to 260 adult participants twice at a 2-week interval, with all participants completing both the first and second rounds of testing. All questionnaire items possessed adequate content validity indices of at least 0.86. After factor analysis, 3 questionnaire domains were identified: intensity of sunlight exposure, factors affecting sunlight exposure, and sun protection practices. Internal consistency was satisfactory for both the overall questionnaire (Cronbach alpha, 0.80) and for each of the domains (Cronbach alpha, 0.74, 0.71, and 0.72, respectively). No statistically significant differences were observed in the responses between the first and second rounds of testing, indicating good test-retest reliability.CONCLUSIONSWe developed a culturally-appropriate SEQ with sufficient content validity, construct validity, and reliability to assess sunlight exposure among urban adult Filipinos in Metro Manila, Philippines.

“…9 BCCs typically have a 15-20 years delay between the time of UV damage to clinical onset. 10 Yu et al 11 surveyed a sample of urban adult Filipinos and reported that different factors lead to perceived risks and benefits regarding sunlight exposure. Indoor occupations and hobbies negatively impacted sunlight exposure, while public transport positively impacted it.…”
