Aim Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common form of cancer in white-skinned populations. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the general population’s knowledge about NMSC. Subjects and methods As part of wave 8 of the German National Cancer Aid Monitoring (NCAM), 4000 participants aged 16–65 years (49.3% female) were interviewed by telephone about NMSC. Questions included awareness of (colloquial) terms for NMSC, its signs, consequences, risk factors, prevalence, and severity. Results Colloquial terms for skin cancer were heard of more often than medical terms (60.9–82.1% vs. 22.6–51.5%). In our sample, there was little familiarity with signs (15.8–36.4%), possible consequences (14.7–56.3%), prevalence (27.4%), and severity (29.0%) of NMSC. Most participants knew about UV-related risk factors for NMSC (73.0–78.7%). Women, those with higher education levels, full-time employment, lighter skin type, presence of more than 40 nevi, frequent childhood sunburns, or frequent intentional tanners achieved a higher knowledge score. Concern about NMSC was associated with more NMSC knowledge. Conclusion We found knowledge gaps regarding signs, consequences, and prevalence of NMSC. To ensure early recognition and treatment, the general population should be further educated, specifically targeting male, less educated, and unemployed individuals.

AimsTo determine the effect of the education and counseling intervention given to overweight and obese women according to the theory of planned behavior on their health behaviors.MethodsThe study consisted of 78 overweight and obese women in total, between the ages of 18–49. While the women in the intervention group were given a 6‐month training program and 6‐month counseling service structured according to the theory of planned behavior, the women in the control group were given standard obesity training and were put on hold for 6 months.ResultsThere was a decrease in the post‐test anthropometric measurement values of the intervention group compared to the pretest. While there was no statistically significant change in the activity status of the control group over time, the inactivity rate of the intervention group decreased; however, the minimal activity rate increased over time. The post‐test healthy life style behaviors scale II health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, stress management and total scores of the intervention group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were significant.ConclusionIt has been determined that the education and counseling services applied to overweight and obese women based on the theory of planned behavior are effective in gaining positive health behaviors.

Background Due to the fact that pre-diabetic people are at higher risk of developing diabetes, it is possible to reduce the risk by taking preventive measures. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effect of theory-based education on promoting a healthy lifestyle and fasting blood sugar (FBS) in pre-diabetic women. Methods This is a cluster‐randomized controlled trial that was performed on 71 pre-diabetic women referred to Arak Comprehensive Health Service Center. Thus, using cluster sampling method, one center was randomly assigned to the intervention group and one center to the control group. The data collection tool was a questionnaire based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and healthy lifestyle behavior that was completed before and at least 3 months after training and FBS test was performed. The experimental group received 3 training sessions of 60 to 90 min and finally the data were analyzed using statistical software. Results After the intervention, the mean scores of knowledge (P < 0.001), attitude (P = 0.047) and perceived behavioral control related to physical activity (P = 0.046) and dietary function (P = 0.01) increased significantly in the intervention group. In addition, fasting blood sugar in the intervention group (99.70 ± 11.06) improved significantly compared to the control group (110.94 ± 17.09) (P = 0.003). Conclusion Education based on the theory of planned behavior, by holding face-to-face meetings along with following up the samples after the educational intervention, can promote healthy lifestyle of pre-diabetic women. Therefore, designing and implementing similar interventions on all pre-diabetic individuals seem necessary. Trial registration: The master's thesis in health education is approved by Arak University of Medical Sciences, Iran and is registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trial (IRCT20190304042921N1).
