Continuous Education for Renal Transplant Recipients

and ‘behavior’ is due to the enormous stress of the posttransplantation period [3] . In this study, the authors suggested that special education about sun protection, especially by dermatologists, could change the risky habits. They also emphasized the importance of routine examinations after transplantation. In our opinion, in addition to routine examination, continuous education is of paramount importance in motivating patients to sun-protective behaviors. We have previously shown that continuous education for 6 months is effective in increasing our patients’ compliance to sunscreen use as well as in encouraging them for self skin examination. 1 However, the education needs to be emphasized repeatedly as some attitudes are strong and hard to change [3, 4] . In summary, as the authors concluded, brief posttransplantation education by nephrologists does not necessarily lead to a change in risky behaviors. Health professionals and dermatologists in particular need to establish better methods of dissemination of information, repeatedly and at the proper time.
