Health Behaviors, Surveillance, Psychosocial Factors, and Family Concerns

Melanoma Survivors: Health Behaviors, Surveillance, Psychosocial Factors, and Family Concerns

The purpose of this study is to examine the health behaviors of melanoma survivors. We want to know about their thoughts and concerns. Melanoma is a type of skin cancer. The number of people being diagnosed with melanoma is growing. Many people who are diagnosed with melanoma are young. Little research has been done to find out how melanoma survivors feel years after they have been treated.

Descripción detallada

The rapidly rising incidence and mortality rates of melanoma, the most fatal form of skin cancer, are among the greatest increases of all preventable cancers over the past decade. However, because of recent advances in early detection, secondary prevention efforts, and treatment, the number of melanoma survivors is increasing. Little research has been conducted on melanoma survivors and important opportunities exist for research in this understudied population. Understanding recurrence and second primary cancer risk, cognitive characteristics, behaviors, surveillance patterns, economic sequelae, and family issues of melanoma survivors is imperative from a public health standpoint to promote the health and well-being of this cohort. The objectives of this study are to: 1) conduct focus groups to enhance our understanding of the behaviors of melanoma survivors, and 2) conduct a pilot survey study based on the results of the focus groups to further describe the behavioral and psychosocial issues in melanoma survivors. This will be among the first studies that explores behavioral and psychosocial issues in melanoma survivors. The study findings will inform a large-scale melanoma survivorship grant proposal to the National Cancer Institute or other federal/private sources of funding.

Specific Aim 1- Focus Group

Conduct focus groups in melanoma survivors to enhance the understanding of the behavioral aspects of:

  • Screening, skin self-examination, sun protection, and other cancer preventive practices;
  • Cognitive factors (knowledge, awareness, melanoma worry, and perceived risk) related to screening and sun protection practices; and,
  • Impact of melanoma on quality of life, family relationships, and economic issues arising from treatment

Conduct focus groups in melanoma survivors to enhance the understanding of the behavioral aspects of:

  • Screening, skin self-examination, sun protection, and other cancer preventive practices;
  • Cognitive factors (knowledge, awareness, melanoma worry, and perceived risk) related to screening and sun protection practices; and,
  • Impact of melanoma on quality of life, family relationships, and economic issues arising from treatment
Specific Aim 2- Survey Study
A separate random sample of melanoma survivors will complete the pilot questionnaire. To enhance completion rates, survey instruments will be developed to be both self-administered and interviewer-administered. The survey will include questions from existing surveys, regarding demographics, sun sensitivity, eye and hair color, color of untanned skin, sun exposure, skin selfexamination, sun protection practices and frequency of sunburns, psychosocial/cognitive factors: skin cancer knowledge, skin awareness, cancer worry, perceived risk of recurrence, cancer risk and screening behaviors, and access to health care and insurance.
History of sun exposure Medical factors Affect, cognition, and quality of life Behavioral adoption Demographics Phenotypic factors Economic/healthcare factors
