Disorder Related to Renal Transplantation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Internet-Based Sun Protection Program for Kidney Transplantation Recipients
This study is being done to evaluate the effectiveness of a Sun Protection Strategies internet-based program for kidney transplant recipients. Since the medication taken to preserve the kidney transplant puts kidney transplant recipients at increased risk of developing a sunburn as well a skin cancer, the program will help people learn how to practice effective sun protection for their condition.
Cognitive interviews about an internet-based sun protection strategies program will be
performed with up to 45 kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) who have participated in past
surveys. A second group of 150 KTRs will be asked to evaluate the internet-based module for
the effectiveness of information. A third group of 12 KTRs will be asked to evaluate the
internet-based module for usability. A fourth group of 160 KTRs will be asked to take part
in a randomized controlled trial evaluating the fully developed internet-based sun
protection strategies program.
Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are at risk to develop skin cancer. Adequate sun
protection after transplantation can reduce the risk of developing skin cancer. In 2006, the
National Kidney Foundation (NKF) found that sun protection education delivery and content
varied among transplantation centers. Clinicians rarely knew when to initiate education
about skin cancer risks and prevention including timing and scope, and rarely demonstrated
understanding of the importance of reminders for and repeated education of patients.
(National Kidney Foundation 2006) The NKF supported standard, formal, well timed skin cancer
prevention information and sending reminders to KTRs at the beginning of summer.
Aims:
1. To explore culturally sensitive use of terms describing ethnic cultural perceptions of
sun burning, pigment darkening after sun exposure and description of skin color by the
amount of photoprotective pigment in the skin.
2. To pilot test the internet-based sun protection brochure with English speaking KTRs
representing 3 ethnic groups: White, Black and Hispanic.
3. To explore understanding of the importance of sun protection and the KTRs' confidence
in their being able to practice sun protection.
