在本研究中，瑞典学生的知识，态度和阳光相关的行为之间的关系进行了研究。对在大学生（医学院和经济专业）中分发的305份问卷中的296份进行了分析（157名男性，139名女性，平均年龄24岁）。有75%的学生晒日光浴是为了晒黑。13%的学生报告每年至少经历一次痛苦的晒伤，93%的学生表示在过去十年中至少有一次晒伤，大多数学生使用日光浴床，12%的学生在过去一年中使用了十次以上。使用日光浴床频率高的受试者在日光浴和晒伤方面得分也高。使用防晒霜的女性（70%）明显多于男性（51%）。黑色素瘤的总体知识水平较高。在高暴露组和低暴露组之间没有发现知识上的差异。医学生的知识得分高于经济专业学生，但在暴露得分上没有差异，我们的研究结果显示，大学生过度暴露的阳光。高水平的风险知识不会导致防晒行为，未来针对年轻人的预防运动必须集中在改变对晒黑的态度的战略上，因为晒黑是健康和有吸引力的。(C)1999年利平科特威廉姆斯&威尔金斯。
The relationship between knowledge, attitude and sun-related behaviour among Swedish students was examined in the present study. A total of 296 of 305 questionnaires, distributed among university students (medical school and economy programme) were analysed (157 men, 139 women, mean age 24 years). The percentage of students sunbathing with the intention of getting a tan was 75%. Thirteen per cent reported having experienced at least one painful sunburn every year and 93% stated at least one burn during the last ten years, The majority of the students had used a sun bed, 12% more than ten times during the last year. Subjects with high frequency of sun bed use also scored high on sunbathing and sunburns. Significantly more women (70%) than men (51%) used sunscreen. The overall knowledge of melanoma was high. No difference in knowledge was found between the high- and low-exposure group. Medical students scored higher on knowledge than economy students, but did not differ in exposure score, Our findings reveal an excessive sun exposure among university students. A high level of knowledge of risk does not lead to a sun-protective behaviour, Future preventative campaigns targeting young people must focus on strategies to change attitudes towards tanning as being healthy and attractive.
