目的：建立关于儿科医生的防晒咨询观念和行为的国家基线。干预：从1996年美国儿科学会目录中随机抽取600名儿科医生，采用3波邮寄技术邮寄调查问卷，以最大化响应率。3波邮寄导致了583份调查中的414份退回调查(17份调查未送达)(回复率为71%)。结果：大多数(60%)儿科医生缺乏关于如何向父母和孩子提供防晒建议的正式培训。约3人(78%)表示，他们的住院医生计划没有花足够的时间来教育父母和孩子防晒知识。超过一半(60%)的受访者表示，他们通常(47%)或总是(13%)咨询防晒知识。77%的受访者表示，儿科医生有专业责任向父母和孩子提供防晒建议。结论：调查结果表明，大多数受访儿科医生认为他们有专业责任咨询防晒，这样的咨询将有效地减少皮肤癌和晒伤的数量。尽管大多数人在住院医生计划中没有接受过防晒咨询培训，但10人中有6人表示，他们通常或一直都会接受防晒咨询。住院医师计划中的防晒咨询培训可能会扩大儿科医生对皮肤癌的知识和广泛预防措施的重要性，并提高他们就此类措施提供咨询的能力。
Objective: To establish a national baseline regarding pediatricians' sun protection counseling perceptions and behaviors.Interventions: A survey was mailed to a random sample of 600 pediatricians selected from the 1996 American Academy of Pediatrics Directory using a 3-wave mailing technique to maximize the response rate. The 3-wave mailing resulted in 414 returned surveys of 583 surveys (17 surveys were nondeliverable) (a 71% response rate).Results: Most (60%) of the pediatricians lacked formal training on how to counsel parents and children about sun protection. Approximately 3 (78%) of 4 indicated that not enough time was spent in their residency program on how to educate parents and children about sun protection. Greater than half (60%) of the respondents indicated that they usually (47%) or always (13%) counseled about sun protection. Seventy-seven percent of the respondents indicated that pediatricians have a professional responsibility to counsel parents and children about sun protection.Conclusions: The results of this investigation suggest that most pediatricians surveyed believed that they had a professional responsibility to counsel about sun protection and that such counseling would be effective in decreasing skin cancer and the number of sunburns. Although most had not had training on sun protection counseling in their residency program, 6 of 10 indicated that they usually or always counseled about sun protection. Sun protection counseling training in residency programs can potentially extend pediatricians' knowledge of skin cancer and the importance of a broad spectrum of preventive measures, as well as increase their ability to counsel about such measures.
