Assessment of sunscreen knowledge, attitudes, and practices among nursing students in Kuwait

Nursing students are pivotal in public health education but exhibit gaps in sunscreen knowledge and practices, with females demonstrating higher awareness than males. Gender-sensitive educational strategies in nursing curricula, alongside public health campaigns, should address misconceptions about sunscreen use and emphasize sun protection. Enhancing nursing students' understanding of sunscreen use equips them to advocate for sun protection practices, potentially reducing skin cancer risk and improving public health outcomes locally and globally.
