A qualitative systematic review of the efficacy of sun protection education in organ transplant recipients.

Background: Transplant recipients are at increased risk of developing skin cancer as a result of chronic immunosuppression. Educating patients on sun protection has been routine posttransplantation, but to our knowledge, no systematic review has yet analyzed the efficacy of such education measures in this high-risk population.

Objective: We sought to examine the efficacy of educating transplant recipients on skin cancer and sun protection.
