Amaç: Vitiligo, dış görünümde göze çarpan renk değişiklikleri nedeniyle kişinin yaşam kalitesini önemli ölçüde etkileyen ve çoğu hastanın kendisini damgalanmış hissetmesine yol açan ciddi bir cilt hastalığıdır. Bu çalışmada vitiligonun hastaların psikolojik ve sosyal yaşantılarına etkilerinin saptanması ve hastaların hastalığı nasıl algıladıklarının anlaşılması amaçlanmaktadır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamız epidemiyolojik bir çalışma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Polikiliniğimize başvuran vitiligolu hastalara ve kontrol gruplarına dermatolojik yaşam kalitesi indeksi uygulandı.
Bulgular: Çalışmamıza 50 vitiligo hastası ve 50 sağlıklı kontrol grubu dahil edildi. Vitiligo hastalarının 26’sı (%52) kadın, 24’ü (%48) erkek’di. Sağlıklı kontrol grubunun 24’ü (%48) kadın, 26’sı (%52) erkek’di. Hastalarımızın yaş ortalamaları ve standart sapmaları 37.2 ± 13.1, sağlıklı kontrol grubunun yaş ortalamaları ve standart sapmaları 34.7 ± 9.2’di. Hastalarımız ve kontrol grubunun yaş ortalamaları istatistiksel olarak uyumlu bulundu (p=0.2). Yaş ve cinsiyet açısından hasta ve kontrol grupları arasında istatistiksel olarak uyum vardı (p<0.05). Ortalama hastalık süresi ve standart sapması 83,9 ± 72,9 ay olarak tespit edildi. Vitiligo klinik tipi olarak en sık görülen alt tip %52 ile fokal vitililigo oldu. Vitiligo ve kontrol gruplarında ortalama DYKİ skoru ve standart sapmaları sırasıyla 5.5 ± 5.0 ve 1.4 ± 1,3 olarak tespit edildi. Hasta grubumuzla sağlıklı kontrol grubu arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulundu. (p<0.05)
Sonuç: Bizim çalışmamızdaki bulgular vitiligolu hastalarda yaşam kalitesinin kontrol grubuna göre önemli düzeyde bozulduğunu göstermiştir.

Background/aims: Vitiligo is a severe skin disease that significantly affects individuals’ quality of life due to striking color changes in external appearance, and one that causes the majority of patients to feel stigmatized. This study was conducted to determine the effects of vitiligo on patients’ psychological and social lives and to elucidate how they perceive the disease.
Methods: The research was conducted as an epidemiological study. The Dermatological Life Quality Index (DLQI) was applied to patients with vitiligo presenting to our clinic and to a control group.
Results: Fifty patients with vitiligo and 50 healthy individuals were enrolled. The vitiligo group consisted of 26 (52%) women and 24 (48%) men, and the healthy control group of 24 (48%) women and 26 (52%) men. The patients’ mean age was 37.2 ± 13.1 years, and that of the healthy controls 34.7 ± 9.2 years. (p=0.2). No significant age or sex differences were observed between the patient and control groups (p=0.2 and p<0.05, respectively). The mean duration of the disease was 83.9 ± 72.9 months. The most common vitiligo subtype was focal vitiligo, at 52%. The vitiligo and control groups’ mean DLQI scores were 5.5 ± 5.0 and 1.4 ± 1.3, respectively, the difference being statistically significant (p<0.05)
Conclusion: The findings of this study show that the quality of life of the patients with vitiligo was significantly impaired compared to the control group.
