目的：了解家长为子女使用防晒产品的频率。设计和设置：在佛罗里达州的一所大学医学诊所进行的描述性调查。参与者：在等候区接触1 - 16岁儿童的家长，成功访谈77 / 100。主要结局指标：父母自我报告的儿童防晒措施使用情况及其对防晒的态度和信念。结果：不到一半的受访者（43%）报告说他们的孩子经常使用防晒产品。据报告，女性看护人员和对使用防晒霜持更积极态度的人更经常使用防晒霜。防晒霜是最常用的措施，防止晒伤是使用防晒霜的主要原因。受访者对防晒持几种不赞成的态度，包括认为阳光照射是健康的，孩子晒黑后看起来更好，如果孩子涂了防晒霜，在阳光下呆的时间更长也没关系。结论：儿童很少经常使用防晒措施，主要是涂防晒霜，而不是减少阳光照射的方法。父母使用防晒霜主要是为了防止晒伤，结果可能会增加孩子的阳光照射量。
Objective: To examine the frequency with which sun protection is used by parents for their children.Design and Setting: Descriptive survey conducted at a university medical clinic in Florida.Participants: Parents of children aged 1 to 16 years were approached in the waiting area, and 77 of 100 were successfully interviewed.Main Outcome Measures: Parents' self-reported use of sun protection measures for their children and their attitudes and beliefs about sun protection.Results: Fewer than half of respondents (43%) reported regularly using sun protection for their child. Regular use of sun protection was reported more frequently by female caretakers and those with more favorable attitudes regarding sun protection use. Sunscreen was the most frequently used measure, and preventing sunburn was the primary reason for using sun protection. Respondents held several unfavorable sun protection attitudes, including the belief that sun exposure was healthy, that children looked better with tan, and that it was okay to stay out in the sun longer if the child wore sunscreen.Conclusions: Regular use of sun protection for children is infrequent and consists primarily of applying sunscreen rather than methods that reduce sun exposure. Parents primarily use sunscreen to prevent sunburn and may increase their children's overall sun exposure as a result.
