  • Description: Background and Design: Sunlight exposure during childhood is one of the main risk factors for skin cancer in adulthood. Therefore, one primary strategy to prevent skin cancer is to protect children from ultraviolet (UV) light. This study aimed to assess the risk level, perceptions, and knowledge level of skin cancer and the associated factors in parents of kindergarteners, as well as determine sun protection behaviors for both parents and their children. Materials and Methods: This was designed as a cross-sectional study, and data were collected from the parents of children at 10 kindergartens associated with the District National Education Directorate. Parents of 1,147 students participated in the study. Results: The Skin Cancer and Sun Knowledge Scale mean score of parents was 13.01[+ or -]3.43 (range: 0-25) and the Sun Protection Behavior Scale mean score was 25.46[+ or -]5.73 (range: 8-40). The sun protection behaviors that were least preferred by parents for their children were protective clothes (37.3%) and sun protection products (29.0%). The most common protection behaviors of parents involved making their child wear a hat (25.2%) and stay in the shade (22.0%). Sun protection behaviors of children were affected by the child's age, gender, skin type, time spent in sunlight during summer, formation of sunburn during the last year, having a medical examination for skin, and skin cancer risk perception (p<0.05). Conclusion: The parents' knowledge about skin cancer and sun protection as well as sun protection for themselves and their children was moderate. Behaviors of parents are very important to decrease the exposure of children to UV light and reduce skin cancer incidence. Thus, improving parental behaviors is an important strategy. Keywords: Skin neoplasms, sun protection factor, preschool, child, parents Amac: Cocukluk caginda gunes isigina maruziyeti, yetiskinlikte deri kanseri icin ana risk faktorlerinden biridir. Bu yuzden deri kanserlerini onleme kampanyalarinin ana hedeflerinden biri cocuklari ultraviyole (UV) isinlarindan korumaktir. Bu calisma, anaokulunda cocugu olan ebeveynlerin deri kanseri ile ilgili risk duzeylerini, algilarini, bilgi duzeylerini ortaya cikarmak ve bunlari etkileyen faktorleri belirlemek amaciyla yapilmistir. Ayrica hem kendileri hem cocuklari icin uyguladiklari gunesten korunma davranislarinin belirlenmesi hedeflenmistir. Gerec ve Yontem: Kesitsel tipteki bu arastirma, Ilce Milli Egitim Mudurlugu'ne bagli 10 anaokulundaki cocuklarin ebeveynleri ile yurutulmustur. Arastirmaya 1.147 ogrencinin ebeveyni katilmistir. Bulgular: Ebeveynlerin Deri Kanseri ve Gunes Bilgi Olcegi puan ortalamasi 13,01[+ or -]3,43, Gunesten Korunma Davranis Olcegi puan ortalamasi ise 25,46[+ or -]5,73 olarak bulunmustur. Gunesten Korunma Davranis Olcegi alt boyutlari incelendiginde; ebeveynlerin gunesten kacinma puan ortalamasinin 12,52[+ or -]1,95, gunesten koruyucu urun kullanma puan ortalamasinin 7,97[+ or -]4,02 ve sapka kullanma puan ortalamasinin 4,95[+ or -]2,58 oldugu belirlenmistir. Ebeveynlerin cocuklari icin en az uyguladiklari gunesten korunma davranisi giysilerle (%37,3) ve gunes koruyucu urunlerle korumadir (%29,0). En sik uyguladiklari koruma davranisi ise cocuklarinin sapka takmalarini (%25,2) ve golgede durmalarini (%22,0) saglamalaridir. Ebeveynlerin cocuklarini gunesten koruma davranislarini cocugunun yasi, cinsiyeti, deri tipi, yaz mevsiminde acik alanda zaman gecirmesi, son bir yilda gunes yanigi olusmasi, deri muayenesi yapmasi ve deri kanseri riski algisi duzeyinin etkiledigi saptanmistir (p<0,05). Sonuc: Ebeveynlerin deri kanseri ve gunesten korunma ile ilgili bilgi duzeyleri, kendilerine ve cocuklarina yonelik gunesten korunma davranislari orta duzeydedir. Deri kanseri insidansinin azaltilmasinda, cocuklarda UV isiga maruz kalmayi azaltmak icin gunesten korunmada ebeveyn davranislari cok onemli olup, dogru tutum ve davranislari artirmak onemli bir strateji olacaktir.
