Study Details Patients with a history of stage 0 to IIB melanoma and their partners were recruited from June 2011 to April 2013. Each patient-partner pair was randomized to 1 of 4 groups: a control group receiving no intervention and 3 different SSE skills training interventions. The 3 interventions included a live slide presentation by a trained research assistant, a selfguided workbook, or an electronic interactive computer activity. However, the content of all 3 interventions was identical, and included information regarding characteristics (border irregularity, color variation, diameter, and evolution) that help distinguish melanoma from benign melanocytic nevi, as well as instructions for recognizing common benign skin lesions such as seborrheic keratosis and hemangiomas. Discussion of lesion asymmetry was not part of the intervention because the study investigators previously found some patients had difficulty with this concept.

研究详情 2011 年 6 月至 2013 年 4 月招募了具有 0 至 IIB 期黑色素瘤病史的患者及其伴侣。每对患者-伴侣随机分为 4 组中的 1 组：对照组不接受干预和 3 种不同的 SSE 技能培训干预. 3 项干预措施包括由训练有素的研究助理进行的现场幻灯片演示、自导工作簿或电子交互式计算机活动。然而，所有 3 种干预措施的内容是相同的，包括有助于区分黑色素瘤和良性黑色素细胞痣的特征（边界不规则、颜色变化、直径和演变）的信息，以及识别常见良性皮肤病变（如脂溢性皮炎）的说明。角化病和血管瘤。
