Abstract

Quality of life is a term
that populations desire to reach in high levels. There are various types of
scales developed for measuring this concept. These measurement methods have
special attention for dermatological situations because these situations effect
lots of parameters including mental status and sociality. Some unfortunate
mental and emotional problems may cause skin diseases as pathogenesis. Also
people with some apparent skin diseases may avoid contacting with communities
because of negative reactions. All these effect and formalise the quality of
life. In this review, it is aimed to talk over scales about quality of life in
dermatological situations

DERMATOLOJİDE YAŞAM KALİTESİ

Abstract

Yaşam
kalitesi, toplumların ulaşmayı amaçladığı en önemli genel hedeflerden birisi
olup günümüzde yaşam kalitesini ölçmek için pek çok yöntem kullanılmaktadır. Bu
ölçümler, dermatolojik durumlar için de özel bir öneme sahiptir çünkü
dermatolojik hastalıklar, kişilerin duygudurum ve sosyal yaşamını
etkilemektedir bununla birlikte psikojenik faktörler birçok deri hastalığının
patogenezinde rol oynamaktadır. Görülebilir bir cilt rahatsızlığı yaşayan
insanlar, etraflarındaki kişilerden olumsuz tepkiler alabilirler ve bunun
sonucunda sosyal ilişkilerden kaçınma davranışı sergileyebilirler. Tüm bunlar
bireylerin yaşam kalitesini şekillendiren birer unsurdur. Bu derlemede
dermatolojide kullanılan yaşam kalite ölçeklerine değinilmiştir.
