“…According to experts, sunscreen products are recognized as the first line of defence and primary protective measure against the detrimental consequences of radiation exposure ( Urasaki et al, 2016 ). Further, the findings of this study were in line with previous research in the same domain conducted among the Saudi population and worldwide ( Bryant et al, 2015 , Saridi et al, 2016 , Ugurlu et al, 2016 ).…”

“…In another study, the authors showed that about 63% of students did not reapply sunscreen and only 3% admitted to applying it regularly (Almuqati et al, 2018). Other education studies conducted in the USA (Hobbs et al, 2014), Brazil (Urasaki et al, 2016) and Greece (Saridi et al, 2016) also had reported similar results. These results suggest that there is a general awareness among the participants of the importance of reapplying sunscreen, with a majority reapplying it every 8 hours or more frequently.…”

An essential tool for sun protection is sunscreen. Only a few studies on the usage of sunscreen were carried out in Saudi Arabia, despite widespread research on the topic. Our research aims to evaluate the prevalence, behaviors and knowledge related to use of sunscreen among Saudi university students.Objectives: Our study aim is to demonstrate the knowledge and use of sunscreen among university students. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out among university students, Riyadh Saudi Arabia. After obtaining permission from the college authority, participants were given prevalidated questionnaires about sunscreen knowledge, attitude and practice and were distributed to 600 university students. The Chi-square test and one-way analysis of variance were used to evaluate the data. Result: The study included 600 university students who completed the study questionnaire. In which the majority of the participants are between the ages of 21 and 23, making up 42.6% of the total. Participants are divided on whether or not they use sunscreen, with 291 (48.4%) stating they do and 310 (51.6%) saying they do not. Conclusion: Our study revealed that Sunscreen use in Saudi Arabian university students is higher than in previous studies, but it is still lower than in other countries.

“…The scale consisted of 50 items based on a large literature review and clinical observations to determine the information of women on gynecologic cancer prevention (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). The content validity was assessed in order to determine whether the items in the draft scale were sufficient in terms of quality and quantity.…”

“…Health professionals (nurses, midwives, doctors, etc.) have the responsibility of protecting and improving health, and reaching women who constitute a large group of the society (12)(13)(14)(15). Accordingly, the first thing that should be done is to determine the current knowledge levels of the women objectively.…”

Objective: The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine the knowledge level of women about gynecologic cancer prevention.Methods: This study is of the methodological research type. The number of draft scale items in this study is 50. Women were taken to sample 10 times for each item (500 women) and pre-test was applied to 125 women which was 25% of the sample. The scale was re-applied to the first pre-test group after 3 weeks by test-retest method. The data were collected by using the Personal Information Form and Gynecologic Cancer Prevention Information Scale. The suitability of the data for factor analysis was investigated by the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin coefficient and by Barlett's test of sphericity. In order to test the construct validity of the scale, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed.Results: Content validity index of the draft scale was 94%. Kaiser Meyer Olkin test value was 0.902 and the sample was found to be adequate and appropriate. On the other hand, the Bartlett test was obtained as X 2 =9542.07 p<0.001 and it was accepted that the scale fulfilled the requirements for exploratory factor analysis. The scale took its final form and consisted of 35 items and 5 sub-dimensions as a result of the exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Total percentage of variance explained of 5 factors was 66.53%. That the cronbach alpha coefficients of the scale have high coefficients of 0.82-0.95 and that the test-retest values have coefficients of 0.566-0.881 and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.951. Conclusion:The data obtained from this study reveal that scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine the knowledge level of women about gynecologic cancer prevention.
