“…Among the low number of individuals that reported using sunscreen with the adequate frequency, a considerable portion reported using products with SPF<15 or not having information regarding SPF coverage or the UVA/UVB protection spectrum of the sunscreen, indicating that the reported some protection might not be effective against the harmful spectrum of solar radiation. Urasaki (2016) reported that more than 40% of the university students interviewed used SPF<15, 7 in accordance to our study. The students in group 2 were again associated to unfavorable results since almost half of them did not even know the features of the sunscreens they used.…”

“…Data from the literature show that the information that young people have in this respect do not generally come from health professionals, therefore, a scenario that can be modified. 7 , 13 , 14 On the other hand, when considering that the evaluated knowledge was extremely basic, it is worrisome that more than 10% of the sample had an unsatisfactory knowledge. University students represent a portion with unique education regarding the general population in which the lack of photo-educational knowledge tends to be even more frequent.…”

Background: Excessive sun exposure is the major risk factor for skin cancer. Thus, sun exposure behavior is the major focus for prevention of this disease, since it is potentially modifiable. Increasing the knowledge on sun related habits and other skin cancer risk factors is fundamental in the development of preventive programs, especially when directed to young people. Objectives: To assess the photoprotection habits and the knowledge about skin cancer in college students. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study from Oct. 16 to Feb. 17, including 371 students from the Federal University of Santa Maria, RS, Brazil, through a self-administered questionnaire. Results: The level of knowledge about skin cancer and photoprotection was unsatisfactory in more than 10% of the students. The occurrence of sunburn was extremely high among students, and 25% reported at least one episode of second degree sunburn. Proper use of sunscreen was referred by only 34% of individuals. Students who reported having received photo education in college were associated with a more consistent use of sunscreen. Study limitations: health area represented a large part of the sample; instrument validated outside Brazil. Conclusions: Young people are unaware of basic information about sun protection and exposure. Even among those with proper knowledge, the use of photoprotective measures is very low. The sun exposure has shown to be excessive in most of the students, which makes this population an important target for photo-educational measures.

Introdução: A exposição solar desprotegida seguida de queimadura solar pode ser reconhecida como fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de câncer de pele no futuro. Este artigo abordará a importância da fotoproteção na prevenção de queimaduras solares e câncer de pele, estimando a prevalência de queimaduras solares entre acadêmicos de medicina na região Oeste do Paraná. Objetivos: estimar a prevalência de queimaduras no último ano e identificar fatores relacionados à fotoproteção na amostra. Metodologia: Foi realizada amostragem com 330 acadêmicos de medicina residentes na região Oeste do Estado do Paraná e os dados foram coletados por meio de questionários autoaplicáveis. Resultados e discussão: Seguindo tendência de outros estudos no país, a prevalência, na presente amostra, de ao menos um episódio de queimadura solar no último ano pode ser considerada alta. Foi relatada por aproximadamente 1/3 dos entrevistados, ocorrendo na faixa etária entre 18 e 29 anos, fototipos mais baixos, com prevalência semelhante entre os sexos, e que faziam uso irregular de fotoprotetor ou que possuíam hábitos inadequados de fotoproteção. Conclusão: a exposição solar em horários seguros, com métodos de proteção adequados e uso correto deve ser estimulada, fazendo-se necessário intensificar campanhas de prevenção do câncer de pele e fotodano.
