Rosacea, DLQI, Coping strategyAbstract
Rosacea can be classified as a socially significant social disease. It reduces the quality of life and causes depressive disorders. Nosogenic characteristics are determined by many psychological, personal, social and biological factors - including objective characteristics of the disease, such as the severity of symptoms and sensations caused by the disease, which cause maladaptation of these patients and reduce the response to standard therapy.
The aim of our study is to evaluate the dermatological quality of life index - DLQI and coping strategy by gender in rosacea patients
Among the patients examined by us - 18.12% were men, and 81.88% were women (p<0.0001);
The average age of onset of the disease in women and men does not differ significantly (p=0.2959), while the phymatous subtype was detected only in men.
Papulopustular subtype predominated in patients of both sexes. However, the frequency of this subtype was higher in women (p=0.0705), and of the eye in men (p=0.6286). The phymatous subtype was observed only in men, the frequency of the erythematogenic subtype did not differ significantly by gender.
According to our data, the HRQoL score is higher in women than in men (p=0.0067).
Activities of daily living, problem focus, expression of emotions, and use of emotional social support were significantly higher in women than in men, while positive reinterpretation and growth were lower.
In women, symptoms and feelings are reliably negatively correlated with mental detachment and acceptance; This shows a reliable negative correlation with treatment-related problems with mental detachment and acceptance; There is also a negative correlation between acceptance and work and/or school and personal relationships.
In male patients, positive reinterpretation and growth were associated with treatment, while use of instrumental social support was significantly negatively associated with work and/or school. Activities of daily living, focus and expression of emotion, and use of emotional social support were significantly higher in women than in men, while positive Reinterpretation and growth were low.
