Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause skin damage, making regular and appropriate sunscreen use an important preventive measure. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and behavior of undergraduate students at Universitas Padjadjaran regarding sunscreen use and to identify factors associated with higher knowledge and better practice. A cross-sectional, quantitative study was conducted from March to June 2025, utilizing an online questionnaire administered to 384 students across various faculties. Validated instruments measured knowledge and behavior, with associations analyzed using logistic regression to compute odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Overall, 96% had good knowledge and 95% showed good to very good behavior. Limited accessibility to sunscreen was inversely associated with higher knowledge levels (OR = 0.552, 95% CI = 0.360–0.847, p = 0.007), suggesting that students with limited access were less likely to have good knowledge about sun protection. In the behavior domain, female gender (OR = 1.893, 95% CI = 0.085–1.191, p = 0.024) and use of higher SPF products (OR = 1.447, 95% CI = 0.101–0.637, p = 0.007) were positively associated with better behavior, whereas infrequent usage (OR = 0.216, 95% CI = 0.127–0.366, p = 0.001) and affordability concerns (OR = 0.656, 95% CI = 0.460–0.936, p = 0.020) were inversely associated, indicating that students who used sunscreen less frequently or perceived it as expensive were less likely to practice proper sun protection. In conclusion, disparities persisted across faculties and socioeconomic factors, highlighting the need for targeted educational efforts and improved accessibility to support equitable sun protection practices.
