Background. Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in the United States (US). However, knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes regarding sun protection vary among the general population. The purpose of this study is to examine sun protection behaviors of low-income primary care patients and assess the association between these health behaviors and the self-efficacy, susceptibility, and skin cancer awareness.Methods. Uninsured primary care patients utilizing a free clinic (N=551) completed a self-administered survey in May and June 2015.Results. Using sunscreen was the least common tactic among the participants of this study. Skin cancer awareness and self-efficacy are important to improve sun protection behaviors. Spanish speakers may have lower levels of skin care awareness compared to US born and non-US born English speakers. Male and female participants use different sun protection methods.Conclusion. It is important to increase skin cancer awareness with self-efficacy interventions as well as education on low-cost sun protection methods. Spanish speaking patients would be a target population for promoting awareness. Male and female patients would need separate gender-specific sun protection education. Future studies should implement educational programs and assess the effectiveness of the programs to further promote skin cancer prevention among underserved populations.

Rationale and objectiveThe evaluation of patient self-efficacy for managing chronic diseases is important in self-management education programs. A valid instrument to evaluate self-efficacy exists: the Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item Scale (SEM-CD). The purpose of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of a French version of the instrument (SEM-CD Fv) in a primary health care context.MethodThe French translation of the questionnaire was obtained through a rigorous translation-back-translation process. Cronbach’s alpha, test-retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient, ICC), concurrent validity with the Skill and Technique Acquisition domain of the Health Education Impact Questionnaire (Heiq) and exploratory factor analysis were used to assess the psychometric properties of the SEM-CD Fv.ResultsWe analysed data from 326 primary care patients. The Cronbach alpha of the instrument was 0.93 (95% CI: 0.92 – 0.94). The ICC between the two administrations of the questionnaire (two-week interval) was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.69 – 0.90, p < 0.001). Concurrent validity of the SEM-CD Fv with the Skill and Technique Acquisition domain of the HeiQ showed a correlation coefficient of 0.49 (95% CI: 0.40 – 0.58, p < 0.001). Factor analysis for the SEM-CD Fv resulted in a one-factor solution that explained 73.8% of the variance.ConclusionThe SEM-CD Fv is a valid and reliable instrument to measure self-efficacy for managing chronic diseases in primary care patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate how patient perception of procedural fairness in primary care physician communication among diverse patients with obesity is associated with the patient’s willingness to follow recommendations, self-efficacy beliefs, and lifestyle behaviors. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, secondary data analysis of 484 primary care patients (43.6% Black, 40.7% Hispanic/Latino, 56.4% Female, Mage=50 years) with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 enrolled in a weight management study in two New York City healthcare systems. To evaluate direct and indirect associations between PF and outcome variables, we used ordinary least squares path analyses with bootstrapping procedures controlling for age and gender. Results Patients who perceived their primary care physician as fairer reported higher willingness to follow recommendations and higher dietary self-efficacy, which were associated with healthier dietary behaviors (willingness: indirect=.08, SE=.03; 95% CI[.04 to .14]; dietary self-efficacy: indirect=.03, SE=.01; 95% CI[.01 to .05]). Higher perceived PF was also associated with higher exercise self-efficacy, which was associated with increased physical activity (indirect=.03, SE=.01; 95% CI[.01 to .05]).ConclusionPF was associated with lifestyle behaviors via willingness to follow recommendations and self-efficacy beliefs. PF holds promise as a novel communication target to enhance patient-physician communication related to weight management in primary care.

Three cross-sectional studies examined stability and change in personality over the course of life by measuring the relations linking age to personality traits, self-efficacy beliefs, values, and well-being in large samples of Italian male and female participants. In each study, relations between personality and age were examined across several age groups ranging from young adulthood to old age. In each study, personality constructs were first examined in terms of mean group differences accrued by age and gender and then in terms of their correlations with age across gender and age groups. Furthermore, personality-age correlations were also calculated, controlling for the demographic effects accrued by marital status, education, and health. Findings strongly indicated that personality functioning does not necessarily decline in the later years of life, and that decline is more pronounced in males than it is in females across several personality dimensions ranging from personality traits, such as emotional stability, to self-efficacy beliefs, such as efficacy in dealing with negative affect. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for personality theory and social policy.
