Sažetak
Background: Most dermatovenereological diseases are not life-threatening but nevertheless are highly prevalent disorders. Psychosocial aspects of skin diseases and physical symptoms strongly influence patient's quality of life (QoL) which results in the development of different coping mechanisms in patient's behaviour. Development of psychiatric comorbidity in patients with skin diseases is well known. On the other hand, little is known about psychological comorbidity associated with dermatovenereological diseases. Aims of this study were to investigate QoL and psychological burden among dermatovenereological patients. Subjects and methods: Two hundred and ninety patients suffering from different dermatological and venereological diseases participated in the study, divided into three study groups: itchy/painful dermatoses, non- itchy/non-painful dermatoses and venereological diseases. Participants completed standardized psychological questionnaires: Dermatology Specific Quality of Life (DSQL), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Intensity of the disease and localisation of the lesions were also assessed. Results: Physical aspect of QoL was mostly influenced by itchy/painful dermatoses but psychological aspect and everyday activities and choices were mostly affected by patients with non- itchy/non-painful dermatoses and venereological diseases. 4.1% of participants had serious depressive symptoms, 11.5% had high and very high anxiety symptoms as state and 15.6% as trait. However, participants with severe skin conditions were more depressed, while participants with always and sometimes exposed lesions were more anxious. Conclusion: It is essential to recognise subgroups of dermatovenereological patients whose treatment approach should be interdisciplinary. Further studies are needed to detect psychosocial needs of patients with venereological diseases.
