This is a preventative study model. All students who choose to participate will receive a pre and post test regarding their sun exposure behaviors and knowledge on sun exposure risk.

Students participating in this study will receive a pre test, instruction regarding sun safety, and a post test.

Knowledge Assessment

Evelinn Borrayo, PhD

A prevention study to improve sun exposure behaviors in children after an educational classroom-based intervention.

This study aims to demonstrate that learning about sun exposure using a more classroom-based intervention will motivate classroom students to reduce exposure at a critical life period and will create lifetime learned sun exposure behaviors. Students' sun exposure behaviors will be assessed prior to the educational intervention. The educational intervention consists of three educational sessions and one lab lesson. At the conclusion of the intervention, students' sun exposure behaviors will be assessed again via a post-intervention questionnaire.

All students who participate in this study will be given a pre test, instruction regarding sun exposure and a post test to determine their sun exposure behaviors and knowledge of sun exposure risks.

Participant names will be written on pre and post test to enable matching purposes, but once this has been completed, only the study ID will be used.

This is quality improvement study that is descriptive and is utilizing a convenience sample of direct care registered nurses employed full-time for at least one year at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.Participants will take a onetime researcher generated therapeutic boundaries questionnaire which will describe behaviors and attitudes regarding therapeutic boundaries.

La-Kenya Kellum, DNP, RN

Professional therapeutic boundaries are defined as the limits that protect the space between a professional's power and patient's vulnerability. It is important to develop therapeutic alliances while maintaining boundaries, thus ensuring nurses develop safe connections with patients and their families based on therapeutic needs. Due to the professional nature of nursing, boundary violations are common. For example, closeness and familiarity develops between the healthcare provider, patient, and caregiver that encompass the physical, emotional, and spiritual realms. This provides an opportunity for intense bonds with patients and families. Furthermore in oncology healthcare, providers deliver compassionate care and empathize with patients and families while sharing in the patient's illness journey. As a result of these bonds and relationships the nurse may over disclose personal information, provide excessive patient attention, meeting their own personal needs instead of the patient and family. In addition, continuity of care contributes to boundary crossings because there is frequent repeated contact with the same patients and families which allows blurring of boundary lines. When staff spend weeks, months, or even years with the same patient the opportunity to connect and talk about personal life details exist. At the national level, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) has created materials for educating nurses in maintenance of therapeutic boundaries. Adherence to therapeutic boundaries has now become an education objective, with the development of educational interventions within many health care settings. Likewise, St. Jude nurses are at an increased risk of crossing therapeutic boundaries due to long term care relationships and vulnerable family members. However, nursing administration has not formally assessed the attributes or behaviors of the nursing staff. This proposal will describe the attributes and behaviors of the St. Jude staff nurse towards nurse-patient/family boundaries, providing knowledge to nursing leadership that will facilitate therapeutic boundaries focus groups with direct care nurses.

Participants will take a onetime researcher generated therapeutic boundaries questionnaire which will describe behaviors and attitudes regarding therapeutic boundaries.

The main objective of the study is to :

To describe behaviors and attitudes towards nurse-patient/family boundaries of direct patient care Registered Nurses (RNs) at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Evaluating Therapeutic Boundaries Among Bedside Nurses At A Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Research Hospital

Each question will be analyzed and interpreted individually. More importantly, for each question, the percentage of nurses reporting "sometimes" or "often" will be reported because the questions where nurses more likely to score high are good references for planning the future nursing education series.

Evaluate the effectiveness of dosimetry feedback on sun exposure behaviors, attitudes, and awareness in patients diagnosed with melanoma.

Assess the relationships between UV camera score, silicone mold of a skin patch, phenotypic evaluation and sun-exposure behaviors. Technically, this arm is a sub-study that does not involve an intervention. Patients are not receiving an intervention; they are simply providing data to the study team.

Determine the relationship between measures of sun exposure and genomic characteristics of tumors in melanoma patients. Technically, this arm is a sub-study that does not involve an intervention. Patients are not receiving an intervention; they are simply providing data to the study team.

This is a sub-study that involves a behavioral intervention. Participants will wear a UV dosimetry for 3 weeks, return the device and receive feedback. After the feedback, they will re-wear the device for an additional 3 weeks.

Biological Sample

Neil Box, PhD

This research study is designed to better understand the role of genetics, sun-exposure and phenotypic factors in melanoma.

Patients will have the opportunity to participate in a questionnaire and then they are given the option to participate in substudy A (wear a UV dosimeter, complete questionnaires, and receive feedback based on the UV dosimeter results), subtstudy B (wear a skin patch, participate in a UV photo analysis, answer questionnaires), and/or substudy C (give biological samples via nevi).

Assessing Gene-Environment Interactions in Clinical Presentation of Nevi and Melanoma

A short questionnaire is administered during the clinic visit to assess sun exposure behaviors of melanoma patients. The data gathered from this questionnaire will help identify possible trends in sun exposure behaviors and provide a baseline dataset for future research,

Determine whether UV exposure and camera scores correlates with UV signature (somatic) mutations and other tumor-related mutations in clinically benign nevi and primary melanomas using saliva samples, benign nevi, and primary melanomas. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) will be used to obtain the genetic information from all samples.

Determine self-reported sun exposure behaviors through participant interviews. Questions are related to time spent outside, and what attempts to be sun-safe occurred while outside.

Participants will receive a personalized feedback plan and the success of the plan will be measured through individual dosimetry. We will track real time change in sun exposure based on repeat UV dosimetry.
