Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

471
Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing01:10

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

1.8K
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

Personal Protective Equipment01:20

Personal Protective Equipment

2.5K
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is unique clothing or equipment worn by an employee to minimize or prevent exposure to infectious agents. PPE creates a barrier between the employee and the infectious materials. PPE must be readily available in the patient care area. PPE includes gloves, gowns and aprons, masks and respirators, goggles, face shields, shoes, and headcovers:

Surveys02:16

Surveys

17.2K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.6K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

4.1K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Summary

Most outdoor Hispanic workers in the US do not use sunscreen for occupational ultraviolet radiation (UVR) protection. Interventions should target women, educated individuals, and those at higher latitudes to improve sun safety.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational health
  • Dermatology
  • Public health

Background:

  • Occupational ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is a known skin cancer risk factor.
  • Hispanic individuals disproportionately occupy outdoor jobs like farming and landscaping.
  • Understanding sunscreen use is crucial for skin cancer prevention in this demographic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify predictors of occupational sunscreen use among US Hispanic outdoor workers.
  • To inform targeted public health interventions for sun protection.

Main Methods:

  • A population-based survey was administered to 149 outdoor workers.
  • Data collected included demographics, melanoma risk, perceived risk, knowledge, and sunscreen use.
  • Statistical analysis identified factors associated with sunscreen usage.

Main Results:

  • 69% of participants reported infrequent or no occupational sunscreen use.
  • Being female, having higher education, and residing at higher latitudes were linked to increased sunscreen use.
  • These factors represent potential targets for intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Significant gaps exist in sun protection behaviors among Hispanic outdoor workers.
  • Interventions promoting sunscreen use are vital for reducing skin cancer risk.
  • Identifying specific demographic and geographic factors can enhance intervention effectiveness.
