从1992年到2008年，美国拉美裔人的皮肤癌发病率每年增加1.3%。然而，很少有研究集中在快速增长的西班牙裔人口中预防皮肤癌。在这项研究中，我们研究了居住在美国南部或西部五个州的787名西班牙裔成年人（49.6%为女性，平均年龄= 41.0岁）的防晒行为的理论驱动的社会心理相关因素。2011年9月，参与者完成了一份英语或西班牙语的在线调查。重点关注的结果是防晒霜的使用、遮阳寻找和防晒服的使用。相关因素包括防晒益处、防晒益处和屏障、肤色偏好、感知到的自然皮肤保护、光老化担忧、感知到的皮肤癌风险、皮肤癌担忧、皮肤癌宿命论和防晒描述性规范。多元线性回归分析结果显示：防晒屏障与各项结果呈负相关；描述性规范与每个结果呈正相关；感知到的自然皮肤保护与防晒霜的使用呈负相关；对皮肤癌的担忧与寻找阴凉处和使用防晒服呈正相关；皮肤癌宿命论与寻求阴凉呈负相关；肤色偏好与使用防晒服呈负相关。在双变量相关分析中发现了一些额外的统计显著关联。本研究揭示了干预措施的潜在内容，以促进美国西班牙裔人参与防晒行为。
The incidence of skin cancer among U.S. Hispanics increased 1.3 % annually from 1992 to 2008. However, little research has focused on skin cancer prevention among the rapidly growing Hispanic population. In this study, we examined theory-driven, psychosocial correlates of sun protection behaviors in a population-based sample of 787 Hispanic adults (49.6 % female, mean age = 41.0 years) residing in five southern or western U.S. states. Participants completed an English- or Spanish-language online survey in September 2011. The outcomes of focus were sunscreen use, shade seeking, and use of sun protective clothing. The correlates included suntan benefits, sun protection benefits and barriers, skin color preference, perceived natural skin protection, photo-aging concerns, perceived skin cancer risk, skin cancer worry, skin cancer fatalism, and sun protection descriptive norms. Results of multiple linear regression analyses revealed the following: sun protection barriers were negatively associated with each outcome; descriptive norms were positively associated with each outcome; perceived natural skin protection was inversely associated with sunscreen use; skin cancer worry was positively associated with shade seeking and use of sun protective clothing; skin cancer fatalism was negatively associated with shade seeking; and skin color preference was negatively associated with use of sun protective clothing. A number of additional statistically significant associations were identified in bivariate correlation analyses. This study informs the potential content of interventions to promote engagement in sun protection behaviors among U.S. Hispanics.
