Surveys

14.7K
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.

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

1.6K
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 is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Survey Safety

24
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...

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

5.9K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.0K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.4K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Dermatology
  • Health Behavior Research

Background:

  • Skin cancer is a significant public health concern.
  • Sunburns are a primary risk factor for developing skin cancer.
  • Understanding public perception of cancer risk and sunburn behavior is crucial for prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine cancer risk perceptions and reported sunburn incidents.
  • To identify factors associated with sunburn frequency.
  • To inform public health interventions for skin cancer prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the 2022 Health Information National Trends Survey 6.
  • Employed descriptive statistics to analyze sociodemographic characteristics, risk perceptions, and sunburn behaviors.
  • Conducted multinomial regression analysis to determine associations between sunburn frequency and sociodemographic variables.

Main Results:

  • A majority of respondents reported high confidence in managing their health.
  • 67.6% reported no sunburns in the past 12 months, while 30.3% reported 1-5, and 2.1% reported over 6.
  • Significant associations were found between the number of sunburns and age, gender, occupation, marital status, education, ethnicity, race, and income.

Conclusions:

  • Public health interventions are needed to improve skin cancer risk communication.
  • Targeted dissemination of information is essential for ethnic minority groups and underserved communities.
  • Addressing sociodemographic disparities in sunburn experiences can enhance skin cancer prevention efforts.
