However, few studies to date have focused on their knowledge and attitudes regarding sun\u2010related behaviour.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>To evaluate the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices about sun protection and skin cancer among nursing students.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This cross\u2010sectional study included 200 all year nursing students from University of Vigo, located in the Vigo, Ourense and Pontevedra campus. Participants completed a validated, self\u2010reported questionnaire with 38 questions regarding their demographic characteristics, sun\u2010related behaviour, knowledge and attitudes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Approximately 87% of students reported experiencing sunburn last summer and 57% stated that they had sunbathed more than 15\u00a0days. Participants showed low level of sun protection behaviours, with the exception of using sunscreen (86%) and wearing sunglasses (72.5%). Knowledge about skin cancer and sun protection was considered high (rate of correct responses 87.7%, 6.14 out of 7). Moreover, positive tanning attitudes were high in the sample overall. Nursing students awarded a high value to tanned skin and showed misconceptions about sun exposure<jats:bold>.<\/jats:bold><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Although most of the students were aware of the side effects of sun exposure, their behaviours and attitudes were unsatisfactory. A high level of knowledge may not be predictive of positive practices and adequate attitudes, even among future healthcare professionals. Further guidance and educational campaigns are utmost important, particularly in a group that will be directly involved in prevention and early diagnosis of skin cancer.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/phpp.12466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,25]],"date-time":"2019-03-25T08:04:49Z","timestamp":1553501089000},"page":"304-312","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Assessment of sun\u2010related behaviour, knowledge and attitudes among nursing students"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5849-4021","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c1lvaro","family":"Iglesias\u2010Puzas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Department Pontevedra University Hospital EOXI Pontevedra\u2010Saln\u00e9s  Pontevedra Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"M\u00e9ndez Iglesias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pontevedra University School of Nursing University of Vigo  Pontevedra Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M\u00aa Paz","family":"Di\u00e9guez Montes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pontevedra University School of Nursing University of Vigo  Pontevedra Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00c1ngeles","family":"Fl\u00f3rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Department Pontevedra University Hospital EOXI Pontevedra\u2010Saln\u00e9s  Pontevedra Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13187-016-1041-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","first-page":"w13520","article-title":"Sun protective behaviour of primary and secondary school students in North\u2010Western Switzerland","volume":"142","author":"Reinau D","year":"2012","journal-title":"Swiss Med Wkly"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/CEJ.0000000000000040"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1525-1470.2009.00940.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/phpp.12107"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.143.8.983"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"505","DOI":"10.1684\/ejd.2013.2075","article-title":"\u201cBuen Rayito Study\u201d: awareness, attitudes and behavior of teenagers to sunlight through a web based system in Spain","volume":"23","author":"Buendia\u2010Eisman A","year":"2013","journal-title":"Eur J Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0278-6133.22.2.199"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jjns.12049"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijwd.2017.10.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0001-7310(09)71906-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-1097.2005.tb00236.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","first-page":"765","article-title":"Sun protection behavior and individual risk factors of Turkish Primary School Students associated with skin cancer: a questionnaire\u2010based study","volume":"12","author":"Ergul S","year":"2011","journal-title":"Asian Pac J Cancer Prev"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2004.01046.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10900-017-0314-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","first-page":"626","article-title":"Skin protective behavior amongst girl students;
