Surveys

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.

Cancer Prevention

6.3K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

75
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...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Public Health
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Sun exposure poses significant health risks, including skin cancer and vision impairment, particularly for agricultural workers.
  • Egyptian farmers face elevated risks due to prolonged occupational sun exposure.
  • Limited awareness and specific barriers hinder the adoption of effective sun safety measures among this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To screen Egyptian farmers for health hazards associated with sun exposure.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a tailored, multicomponent sun safety intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 128 farmers in Egypt participated in a three-phase intervention study.
  • Phase 1 involved risk assessment for skin cancer and vision screening.
  • Phase 2 utilized questionnaires to assess hazards, knowledge, behaviors, and barriers; Phase 3 implemented an educational intervention with supplies and reminders, followed by a one-month evaluation.

Main Results:

  • A majority of farmers exhibited moderate skin cancer risk (69.0%), photokeratitis (77.3%), cataracts (15.6%), and poor eyesight (43.0%).
  • The intervention significantly improved awareness of sun hazards, sun safety knowledge (p < 0.01), and several protective behaviors (p < 0.05).
  • Significant improvements were noted in most sun protection barriers (p < 0.01), excluding those related to sunscreen and sunglasses.

Conclusions:

  • The multicomponent intervention, including education, supplies, and reminders, was effective in enhancing farmers' awareness and adoption of sun safety practices.
  • Targeted interventions can successfully mitigate sun exposure risks and improve health outcomes for agricultural workers.
  • Further strategies may be needed to address specific barriers related to sunscreen and sunglass use.
