The Impact

Abstract Limiting ultraviolet radiation exposure during early childhood can significantly reduce the risk of developing skin cancer, making early childhood a critical time for sun protection strategies. This study aimed to measure sun protection practices utilized in Australian early-childhood services over the past decade and evaluate the impact of Cancer Council Australia’s SunSmart Early-Childhood Program. Results are presented from cross-sectional and repeated-measures survey data, completed by directors or other staff at randomly sampled early-childhood services in 2008, 2013 and 2018 (N�=�3243). Most sun protection practices were used by a significantly greater proportion of services in 2018 relative to earlier years, such as requiring the use of sunscreen (98.4%), and sun-protective hats (99.7%) and clothing (88.8%). However, only a small and declining proportion of services (16.3%–22.4%) required the use of specific items of sun-protective clothing. SunSmart program members reported enacting significantly more sun protection practices compared to non-members, while new members showed an increase in the use of those practices relative to services whose status did not change (d�=�0.48). The results demonstrate improvements in sun protection in Australian early-childhood settings, and highlight the benefits and limitations of the SunSmart program.

Sun Protection Practices

9061 Background: Little is known about melanoma survivors and their long-term symptoms, sun protection practices and support needs from health professionals. Methods: Melanoma survivors previously treated at Stanford Cancer Center completed a quality improvement survey to explore the value of a melanoma survivorship clinic, as part of the Stanford Cancer Survivorship Program. The survey period ranged from July 2012 to September 2012, and 17% of the 893 invited survivors responded. We compared responses of melanoma survivors diagnosed between 2006-2011 (short-term) and 1995-2005 (long-term). Results: 153 cancer survivors (41% short- and 59% long-term) completed the survey. On average, they were 62 years of age (SD=15.1), 94% Caucasian, 47% female, and 68% underwent local excision alone. Long- vs. short-term survivors were less likely to receive routine skin screening every 3-6 months (38% vs. 83%, p<0.001) or follow-up for their melanoma in the last 6 months (54% vs. 76% p=0.045). Sun protection practices were similar between groups; however, long-term survivors decreased their use of tanning beds (33% vs. 18%, p=0.03) and time seeking a tan relative to short-term survivors (72% vs. 48%, p=0.002). Overall, survivors rated anxiety as the most prevalent symptom (33%), followed by numbness of the scar site (31%), forgetfulness (26%), sleep problems and depression (23%), pain and fatigue (17%). Sixty-eight percent of all survivors reported their symptoms were not addressed by their health provider, and of those stating their provider addressed their symptoms (32%), the survivor initiated the conversation 71% of the time. In general, survivors desired education about the long-term effects of melanoma (41%), family risk of skin cancer (28%), and protecting their skin from further damage (20%). Twenty percent of all survivors requested treatment for the long term effects of melanoma, and 12% wanted emotional support. Conclusions: Melanoma survivors experience continuing symptoms long after treatment, namely anxiety, and express a need for information about long-term melanoma effects, psychosocial support, and prevention of further skin cancer. Clinicians should routinely assess survivorship needs to improve quality of life.
