Skin cancer comparison rates were conducted within Florida and the U.S., and it was found that male Hispanics had greater risk of melanoma mortality compared to Whites. Not only are Hispanics overall at risk for developing melanoma, but Hispanic farmworkers are at an increased risk for developing melanoma due to their sun and pesticide exposures. Purpose: This Capstone Project aimed to assess the knowledge of the risks of melanoma among the farm-working population in South Florida. It also aimed to develop a tailored educational program that may increase melanoma knowledge of farmers. Theoretical Framework: This project was guided by constructs adapted from Pender\u2019s Health Promotion Model (HPM). Methods: A survey tool was utilized to assess and collect data regarding farmworkers\u2019 knowledge of their risks of melanoma. A descriptive analysis was performed to analyze collected data. Based on the results and analysis of the study, educational materials including a brochure and pictorial were developed. Results: Despite farmworkers\u2019 lack of knowledge regarding melanoma, the vast majority of the participants utilized protective clothing when working outdoors. Additionally, 43% of the farmworkers felt that they were more likely of acquiring skin cancer compared to other people of their race. This increased protective behavior and risk awareness were attributed to pesticide exposure by the farmworkers. Conclusions: Considering the heavy financial burden and cost of life of melanoma, this health promotion and disease preventive project may raise awareness among farmworkers, Hispanics, and healthcare providers regarding this population\u2019s risk of melanoma, thus catching this disease at its earlier stages and improving survival rates." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RC280.S5 P47 2013" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2013" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RC280.S5 P47 2013_PerezSandra" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001778/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Perez, Sandra Giraldo" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (D.N.P.)--Barry University, 2013.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 89-99)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "xiii, 175 leaves : ill. ; 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Sandra Giraldo Perez.
