The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practices of KTRs regarding skin cancer after transplantation and to identify the role of education in motivating these patients to practice sun\u2010protective behaviours.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> Two hundred and fifty KTRs in a referral hospital were interviewed using a questionnaire. All patients received a skin cancer information booklet after completion of the questionnaire. Six months later, these patients were invited and interviewed again about their skin cancer\u2010prevention practices.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> The patients consisted of 153 men and 97 women patients with a mean age of 35.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a014.2\u00a0years and mean of 49.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a053.1\u00a0months after their transplantation. A total of 102 patients (40.8%) mentioned receiving skin care advice after transplantation. Nonetheless, the majority of patients did not have appropriate skin cancer\u2010prevention practices. Patients who had received advice on skin care after transplantation were significantly more likely to do skin self\u2010examination (chi\u2010squared test; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001) and have less sun exposure daily (Mann\u2013Whitney test; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.019) than those who did not. Half of the patients (125 patients) participated in the second part of the study 6\u00a0months after the first interview and providing skin care instruction booklet. Although regular skin self\u2010examination and sunscreen use was significantly increased (<jats:italic>P\u00a0=<\/jats:italic>\u00a00.006 and <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.001, respectively), but daily sun exposure was not changed significantly (<jats:italic>P\u00a0=<\/jats:italic>\u00a00.64).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> Post\u2010transplantation education does not necessarily lead to patients\u2019 awareness about their increased risk of skin cancer, and subsequent motivation to practice effective sun protection. Health professionals and dermatologists in particular need to establish better methods of dissemination of information, repeatedly and at the proper time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.02059.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,13]],"date-time":"2007-01-13T17:59:24Z","timestamp":1168711164000},"page":"754-757","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Sun protection in Iranian kidney transplant recipients: knowledge, attitude and practice"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"A","family":"Firooz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Amin\u2010Nejad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N","family":"Bouzari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Nafar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Firoozan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Mahdavi\u2010Mazdeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","first-page":"99","article-title":"Occurrence of cancers in immunosuppressed organ transplant recipients","volume":"9","author":"Penn I","year":"1994","journal-title":"Clin Transpl"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","first-page":"1383","article-title":"De novo malignancy emerges as a major cause of morbidity and late failures in renal transplantation","volume":"25","author":"Sheil AGR","year":"1993","journal-title":"Transplant Proc"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(99)70185-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2230.2003.01408.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM200103293441306"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","first-page":"333","article-title":"Transplantation activities in Iran","volume":"3","author":"Broumand B","year":"2005","journal-title":"Exp Clin Transplant"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","first-page":"10","article-title":"Cutaneous and mucosal lesions in 117 renal transplantation patients referred to Noor and Ali Asghar Hospital in Esfahan in June and July 1997","volume":"5","author":"Nilforooshzadeh MA","year":"2002","journal-title":"Iranian J Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","first-page":"276","article-title":"Skin lesions after renal transplantation in Shiraz University of Medical Sciences","volume":"8","author":"Salmanpoor R","year":"2005","journal-title":"Iranian J Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0041-1345(00)00900-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(99)70149-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","unstructured":"American Academy of Dermatology Skin Cancer Pamphlets.http:\/\/www.aad.org\/pamphlets\/skincan.html."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1995.01690140054008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mjd.2002.125579"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.1998.02079.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1524-4725.2004.30145.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(05)60981-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1993.tb00227.x"}],"container-title":["Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1468-3083.2006.02059.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.02059.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,10]],"date-time":"2023-10-10T16:43:41Z","timestamp":1696956221000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.02059.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,12]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.02059.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.02059.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9959","1468-3083"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9959","type":"print"},{"value":"1468-3083","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,12]]}}}
