Facilitating sunscreen use in women by a theory-based online intervention: a randomized controlled trial
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-17, 13:19 authored by Craciun, C, Schuez, N, Lippke, S, Schwarzer, RThis study compares a motivational skin cancer prevention approach with a volitional planning and selfefficacy intervention to enhance regular sunscreen use. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted with 205 women (mean age 25 years) in three groups: motivational; volitional; and control. Sunscreen use, action planning, coping planning and coping self-efficacy were assessed at three points in time. The volitional intervention improved sunscreen use. Coping planning emerged as the only mediator between the intervention and sunscreen use at Time 3. Findings point to the role played by coping planning as an ingredient of sun protection interventions.
