The model draws a good road map for evaluating the process by addressing the factors affecting children's sun protection behaviors. Objective or Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the sun protection behaviors of secondary school students in accordance with the transtheoretical model. The study is cross-sectional and descriptive. Methodology: The research was conducted in 12 public secondary schools affiliated with Y District Directorate of National Education. 1709 students have been included in the study. Results: As a result of the study, which aimed to evaluate the sun protection behaviors of the students according to the transtheoretical model, it was found that female students exhibited more sun protection behaviors by scoring higher in all scales and sub-dimensions compared to male students, those with better economic status had higher sunscreen use, and perception of harm, sunscreen, and hat use was higher as the number of sunburns increased, and younger students exhibited more protective behaviors. Conclusions: The study reveals that boys show sun protection behaviors less than girls. Therefore, it can be stated that male and older students are the priority group in the acquisition of sun protection behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
