The Impact of Psoriasis on the Quality of Life and Psychological Characteristics of Persons Suffering from Psoriasis
Psoriasis, as same as other skin diseases, has an influence on many sphares of patient`s life. It influences the mental image the patients have of themselves and it indirectly shapes their personality traits as well as it defines the quality of their lives. The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of psoriasis on the quality of life and gender differences in general population. During the treatment of persons suffering from psoriasis at the special hospital Naftalan in Ivanić Grad personality questionnaire and Quality of life scale were administered to 61 participants (m=25 ; f=36)- Our results showed few gender differences in the satisfaction with specific life domains, but only differences in the satisfaction with sexual life could be related to the different effects psoriasis has on the quality of life of men and women. Our participants experience more anxiety and depression symptoms as well phobic fears in comparison to general population. Found genders differences in the presence and intensity of anxiety symptoms closely resemble those documented in the general population teherefore aren´t typical for people suffering from psoriasis
