Abstract:
Objective To explore the impact of transtheoretical model on sun protection behaviors of soldiers in plateau area.Methods A total of 208 male soldiers trained in 4 200 meters altitude and medically supported by our hospital were randomly divided into the experimental group(n=104) and the control group(n=104).The experimental group received health education based on the transtheoretical model,and the control group received routine health education.Score of sun protection behaviors questionnaire,sunscreen using behavior and score of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) before and after the intervention between two groups were compared.Results Score of sun protection behaviors questionnaire in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P＜0.05),sunscreen using behavior in the experimental group was better than the control group(P＜0.05),score of the Dermatology Life Quality Index in the experimental group was lower than the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Health education guided by the transtheoretical model can improve the plateau soldiers' sun protection behaviors,and it is an effective method of health education.
