Background
Despite recent improvements in melanoma survival rates, persistent inequalities pose barriers to care for some patients.
Objective
To assess the influence of social determinants of health (SDoH) on melanoma treatment outcomes.
Methods
A systematic review (Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews CRD42022346854) of manuscripts that examined the association between SDoH and melanoma treatment-related outcomes in the United States was conducted using 5 databases.
Results
The analysis encompassed data from 12 retrospective manuscripts. The SDoH domains most frequently investigated were health care access and quality (n = 6 manuscripts, 50%) and economic stability (n = 7, 58.3%). Other domains included social and community context (n = 5, 41.7%) and education access (n = 3, 25%). These findings revealed significant correlations between poor melanoma survival and low levels of economic stability, limited education, government health insurance, and being uninsured and unmarried.
Limitations
Many SDoH were not analyzed at the patient level. SDoH are vast categories, but manuscripts usually analyze one aspect of a particular category.
Conclusions
These results highlight the need for physicians to recognize the substantial impact of SDoH on melanoma outcomes and to adopt more comprehensive strategies focused on patient-centered care. Integrating social support mechanisms into clinical practice emerges as a key mechanism to promote equitable and effective interventions.

Background
Studies addressing social determinants of health (SDH) in head-neck melanomas (HNM) have only assessed socioeconomic factor impact but not a wider scope of SDH.
Objective
Utilizing the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), to assess the influence of specific SDH and their quantifiable associations with HNM management disparities across the varied community contexts in the United States.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study analyzed adults diagnosed with HNM from 1975 to 2017 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database.
Results
A total of 374,138 HNM in adults from 1975 to 2017 were assessed for disparities affiliated with increasing overall vulnerability/SVI scores and SDH themes. For several melanoma subtypes, higher social vulnerability significantly decreased odds (lowest for amelanotic, odds ratio 0.74; 95% confidence interval, 0.63-0.86) for indicated surgery, increased odds of indicated radiation (highest for epithelioid cell, 1.44; 1.08-1.96), and advanced staging on first presentation (highest for acral lentiginous, 1.13; 1.01-1.27). Household composition, followed by socioeconomic status and minority-language status contributed significantly to the overall trend.
Limitations
Limitations include unknown cause of death and SVI score calculation based on county of residency.
Conclusions
This investigation highlights significant detrimental trends in HNM management with overall social vulnerability while showcasing the quantifiable associations of specific SDH themes on HNM-disparities.

Background
The frequent occurrence of pressure injuries despite their preventability raises important questions about our understanding of the barriers to care. This study explores the lived experience of nurses and caregivers in Singapore to establish a conceptual framework for better understanding of pressure injuries arising in the community.
Methods
A multicenter qualitative study was conducted utilizing semistructured interviews and focused group discussions of nurses and caregivers of patients with pressure injuries. Data were collected with a narrative inquiry approach and analyzed with grounded theory. An iterative cycle of interviewing, coding, discussion, and reflection was conducted until theoretical saturation.
Results
Ten inpatient nurses and 10 caregivers from the community were recruited. Analysis identified cognitive (awareness and caregiver training), emotional (motivation and empowerment), resource (human and infrastructural), and biomedical factors which collectively impacted the effectiveness of prevention. Additionally, constructs of learning and sustainability of caregiving played a crucial role in long term prevention.
Limitation
The derived framework requires further validation with quantitative data and may not be generalizable to other cultural and economic populations.
Conclusion
Multiple constructs have been identified to have a synergistic effect in prevention. Targeted measures should be implemented by healthcare institutions to better equip caregivers in prevention.
