Background Agricultural workers are at risk of developing skin cancer due to prolonged exposure to the sun during their daily work. This study was conducted to determine sun protection knowledge and behaviours of agricultural workers in Turkey. Methods The cross-sectional study was conducted with 460 participants working in agriculture. The data were collected using a sociodemographic form, Skin Cancer and Sun Knowledge Scale and Sun Protection Behaviour Scale. The data were analysed using One Way ANOVA and Independent Samples t Test. Results Participants mean total score on the Skin Cancer and Sun Knowledge Scale was 15.24 ± 2.47 (max-min 0–25) and the mean total score on the Sun Protection Behaviour Scale was 24.10 ± 4.46 (max-min 8–40). Statistically significant disparities were observed between the SCBS, SPBS and their sub-divisions along with the working period, age, marital status, gender, level of education, income status, skin type and agricultural working status of the participants (p < .05). Conclusion The study found that people working in the agriculture had inadequate sun protection behaviours and knowledge. Based on the study’s results, it is proposed to create intervention programmes that specifically target single, male, middle-aged or older individuals with extended working hours and low levels of education and income.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the knowledge level of family physicians about skin cancer and their attitudes and behaviors about sun protection. Methods: The sample of this study was composed of 295 family physicians who worked in Samsun province and participated in in-service trainings organized by the Provincial Health Directorate in March 2019. A questionnaire form consisting of questions on sociodemographic characteristics, attitudes and behaviors about sun protection was applied to the participants. Result: A total of 295 family physicians, 64.7% male and 35.3% female, participated in the study. Most of the physicians (87.8%) expressed that they tried to protect from sunlight. Women (68.3%) used sunscreen lotions/creams more frequently than men (41.4%). Those who had 2 and more severe sunburns throughout their lifetime (51.5%) stated that they described themselves at higher risk than those who did not (36.2%) which was statistically significant (p<0.05). The reasons of the physicians for application to a dermatologist were: 47(15.9%) had asymmetrically shaped, irregularly structured moles larger than 5 mm, 37(12.5%) had suspected presence of moles, 11(3.7%) wanted whole body examination for moles, 20(6.8%) requested advice on daily skin care and prevention of skin aging. Conclusion: Awareness studies should be carried out on the harmful effects of the sun and early diagnosis of skin cancer especially for family physicians, healthcare professionals and other parts of the society. In addition, considering that visual evaluation has a role in the diagnosis of skin cancer, it will be useful for family physicians to inform their patients about the detrimental effects of the sun and self-skin examination.

Yöntem: Çalışmaya Ocak 2022- Şubat 2022 tarihleri arasında periyodik sağlık muayenesi amacıyla aile hekimliği polikliniğine başvuran ve anketi doldurmayı kabul eden 18-65 yaş arası 307 karayolları çalışanı dahil edilmiştir. Veriler, katılımcılara sosyo-demografik özelliklerini sorgulayan bir anket formu ve Güneşten Korunma Davranış Ölçeğinin (GKDÖ) doldurtulması ile toplandı. SPSS programı kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan katılımcıların ortalama yaşı 43.30±0,52 yıl, %93.8 (n=288)’i erkek, %89.6 (n=275)’sı evli, %56.7 (n=174)’si işçi, %44.3 (n=136)’ü üniversite mezunuydu.
