The Promotion of Appropriate and Correct Selection and Application of Sunscreen

Wednesday (11/27) - A health promotion was held by 7th semester students of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Airlangga. This health promotion activity was carried out at the Health Service Center (PLK) campus B Universitas Airlangga starting at 1 pm until 4 pm. The topic promoted in this health promotion was the selection and application of sunscreen appropriately and correctly. This topic was chosen after conducting research related to the knowledge and use of sunscreen where most respondents did not yet know and understand the use of sunscreen appropriately, so a health promotion regarding sunscreens is still needed to be done to the community. 

In the implementation of this health promotion, a series of activities carried out were an explanation to respondents about sunscreen and games to increase the participants  interest in knowing more about the health promotion topic. Health promotion media used were brochures that contained information about sunscreen and how to apply it properly. The brochure was chosen because it could be brought home by respondents so that it could be read again at a later time. The condition of PLK was observed to be quite crowded with patients and introductors. However, the majority of PLK patients and visitors were willing to become participants of this health promotion. The respondents looked very enthusiastic about this health promotion where there were questions from respondents about the topic of this health promotion. In addition, questionnaires were filled out by respondents regarding health promotion and the average respondents agreed if this health promotion activity was useful, clear, and interesting so that respondents agreed if health promotion activity could be carried out routinely.
