SCIN trial -the final results Part 4: results of the national Skin Care Intervention in Nurses (SCIN) trial

摘要

HAND dermatitis can be a serious occupational disease in high-risk professions - such as nursing, hairdressing and construction - and can have major health and economic consequences for sufferers. Although educational and policy interventions have been implemented to promote good hand care, their clinical- and cost-effectiveness varies. Research on educational initiatives has suggested that a dermatitis-prevention intervention informed by behavioural change psychological theory could encourage enhanced hand care and help to reduce the occurrence of hand dermatitis among at-risk workers.
