Abstract

Objective: Dermatologic diseases have a considerable impact on patients’ social relationships, psychological status and daily activities. Recently, studies which assess this impact and also guide to therapies have popularity. It has been aimed to evaluate the effects of dermatologic diseases on quality of life of Turkish dermatology outpatients using Turkish dermatology quality of life instrument (TDQL) and to determine the link between demographic parameters and Turkish dermatology life quality index. Methods: A total of randomly selected 197 dermatology out patients (120 female, 77 male; and mean age was: 36.01) were included in this study. TDQL was applied to each patient. The relationship between patients’ sex, age, occupational status, category, duration, severity and extensity of disease with TDQL scores were investigated and were assessed statistically Results: No significant distinctions were detected between the total TDQL scores of the patients and their sex, age or occupational status. However, there were differences between TDQL scores and category, duration and extensity of disease; the patients who had severe diseases had significantly higher scores (p:0.0001 rs:0.296). The first five diseases that affected the quality of life the most were psoriasis, acne, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis and pruritus. Conclusion: Skin diseases significantly affect patients’ looks, social life and emotional situation. Our study results with TDLQ conform to those obtained by other quality of life measurements in different communities. Therefore, life style and discrepancy between everyday activities according to sociocultural characteristics, don’t seem to be affect the results as much as expected.

Özet

Amaç: Dermatolojik hastalıklar sosyal ilişkiler, bireyin ruhsal evreni ve günlük aktiviteler üzerinde önemli etkilere sahiptir. Son zamanlarda bu etkileri değerlendiren ve tedavilere rehberlik eden yaşam kalite çalışmaları işlerlik kazanmış durumdadır. Bu çalışma ile dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuran hastalarda yaşam kalitesinin Türk Dermatoloji Yaşam Kalite Ölçeği (TDYKÖ) ile değerlendirilmesi; yaşam kalitesini en fazla etkileyen dermatolojik hastalıkların dağılımı ve bunun cinsiyet, yaş, meslek gibi parametrelerle ilişkisinin saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuran hastalardan rastgele seçilen 197 hasta (120 kadın, 77 erkek, yaş ort: 36.01) çalışmaya alındı. Her hastaya Türk Dermatoloji Yaşam Kalite Ölçeği (TDYKÖ) uygulandı. Anket skorlarının hastaların cinsiyeti, yaş ve meslek durumları, hastalığın cinsi, süresi, yaygınlığı ve yakınma şiddeti ile ilişkisi araştırıldı; istatiksel değerlendirmeleri yapıldı. Bulgular: TDYKÖ skorları ile hastaların cinsiyet, yaş ve meslek grupları arasında farklılık yoktu. Hastalığın cinsi, süresi ve yaygınlığının anlamlı derecede fark yarattığı; şiddetli yakınması olan hastalarda skorun istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ölçüde yüksek olduğu gözlendi (p:0.0001 rs:0.296). Yaşam kalitesini en çok etkileyen ilk beş hastalık psoriazis, akne, ekzema, seboreik dermatit ve pruritus olarak tespit edildi. Sonuç: Deri hastalıkları bireylerin dış görünüşünü, emosyonel ve sosyal durumunu önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. TDYKÖ ile genel dermatolojik hastalıklar bazında yapmış olduğumuz çalışma sonucu elde ettiğimiz veriler diğer yaşam kalite ölçekleri ile başka toplumlarda yapılan çalışmalarla uyumlu bulunmuş, sosyal yapıya göre yaşam tarzı ve aktivite farklılığının hastalık türü ve klinik özellikleri ile demografik parametreleri çok etkilemediği tespit edilmiştir.
