Resumo: | Introduction: Organ transplanted recipients have higher risk of skin cancer, and cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation is the most important risk factor. The objectives of this study were to assess photoprotection beha- vior and skin cancer awareness. Methods: A questionnaire-based study of kidney transplant recipients who were obser- ved for the first time between July of 2010 and December of 2011. A 5% significance level was used. Results: A total of 127 patients was enrolled in the study, with a mean age of 53 (s=12.98) and 66% being males. The mean number of schooling years was 8 (s= 4.7). 70% of the patients knew the higher risk for skin cancer in organ transplanted recipients and regular sunscreen use was referred by 22%. Only 8% of the patients were referred to the dermatologists in their first year after the transplant. In statistical analysis, knowing the higher risk for skin cancer was significantly associated with being observed by a dermatologist after transplantation and more schooling years. Sunscreen use was significantly associated with the female sex and a previous history of skin cancer. Conclusions: Organ transplanted recipients have insufficient knowledge about skin cancer and inadequate photoprotective measures since they are only rarely observed by a dermatologist after transplantation. Early observation in a specialist dermatology clinic is therefore important to improve compliance with photoprotection.KEYWORDS – Kidney transplantation; Neoplasms, radiation-induced; Skin neoplasms; Sunscreening agents; Ultra- violet rays. |

Os objetivos deste estudo foram averiguar as medidas de fotoproteção utiliza- das e o conhecimento sobre o maior risco de cancro cutâneo. Material e métodos: estudo descritivo dos doentes referenciados à nossa consulta de Dermatologia para transplantados, observados pela primeira vez no período de Julho de 2010 a Dezembro de 2011. Os dados foram obtidos através de inquérito e os dados analisados com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: 127 doentes foram incluídos no estudo, 67% dos quais do sexo masculino e a média de idades foi 53 anos (s= 12,98). O número médio de anos de escolaridade foi 8 (s=4,7). O conhecimento do maior risco de cancro cutâneo em transplantados estava presente em 70% dos doentes e o uso regular de protetor solar foi referido por 22%. A observação por dermatologista no primeiro ano após o transplante foi reportada por 8%. Na análise estatística, o conhecimento sobre o risco aumentado de neoplasias cutâneas esteve significativamente associado a maior número de anos de escolaridade e ter sido observado por dermatologista após o transplante. O uso de protetor solar esteve significativamente associado ao sexo feminino e a história prévia de cancro de pele. Conclusões: os doentes transplantados são raramente observados por dermatologista após o transplante e as medi- das de fotoproteção são referidas por apenas uma minoria. Estes doentes beneficiam de uma observação dermato- lógica regular após o transplante em consultas especializadas.PALAVRAS-CHAVE – Fotoproteção; Transplantação renal; Neoplasias da pele.Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia2013-01-13T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.70.3.6oai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/6Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology; Vol 70 No 3 (2012): Julho - Setembro; 313Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia; v. 70 n. 3 (2012): Julho - Setembro; 3132182-24092182-2395reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/6https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.70.3.6https://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/6/6Borges-Costa, JoãoTravassos, Ana RitaVasconcelos, PedroGuerra, JoséSantana, AliceWeigert, AndréMarques, Manuel Sacramentoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-10-06T12:34:34Zoai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/6Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:10:36.790896Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
