UNLABELLED: We studied the feasibility of transplant-clinic staff routinely providing primary prevention advice to lung transplant recipients at high risk of skin cancer.
METHODS: Patients enrolled by a transplant-clinic study nurse completed baseline questionnaires and received sun-safety brochures. For the 12-mo intervention, transplant physicians were alerted to provide standard sun-protection advice (use of hat, long sleeves, and sunscreen outdoors) by sun-advice prompt cards attached to participants' medical charts at each clinic visit. Patients indicated receiving advice from their physician and from study personnel via an exit-card postclinic, and at final study clinics, they also reported their sun behaviors by questionnaire. Feasibility of the intervention was measured by patients' and clinic staff's study engagement; effectiveness was assessed by calculating odds ratios (ORs) for improved sun protection, using generalized estimating equations.
RESULTS: Of 151 patients invited, 134 consented (89%), and 106 (79 %) (63% male, median age 56 y, 93% of European descent) completed the study. Odds of receiving sun advice from transplant physicians and study nurses rose after the intervention compared with baseline (ORs, 1.67; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.96-2.96 and 3.56; 95% CI, 1.38-9.14, respectively). After 12 mo of regular transplant-clinic advice, odds of sunburn decreased (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.13-2.60), and odds of applying sunscreen (OR, 1.93; 95% CI, 1.20-3.09) almost doubled.
CONCLUSIONS: Encouragement of primary prevention of skin cancer among organ transplant recipients by physicians and nurses during routine transplant-clinic visits is feasible and appears to be effective.
