Vitiligo On Quality Of Life Among Vitiligo Patients Attending Dermatology Clinics In Public Hospitals In Sana'aالملخص
The objectives: this study aimed to evaluation and detection the incidence of the impact of vitiligo on quality of life among all patients treated at the skin outpatients’ clinics in public hospitals in Sana'a.
Methods: Our research was a prospective cross-sectional study of all individuals who diagnosed with vitiligo at the three dermatology outpatients’ clinics in three public hospitals, in Sana'a. All patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria requested to take part in the study. Data obtained from enrolled individuals using a data collection sheet and Arabic version of the Dermatology Life Quality index (DLQI) and DASS-8 questionnaire. This information was analyzed using a statistical software (SPSS version 26).
Results: A total (n=118) respondents were included as per inclusion criteria in our study. Our cohort comprised of females (60, 50.8%), males (58, 49.2%). The results showed that 108 of the sample members, representing 91.5%, had their quality of life affected due to vitiligo, where (46, 42.6%) had a slight effect, (40, 37%) had a moderate effect, ( 14, 13%) had a very large effect. ( 8, 7.4%) had an extremely large effect.
The results showed that (39, 33.1%) of the vitiligo patients suffer from depression, (61.5%) moderate depression,(38.5%)severe depression, that 40 of the vitiligo patients (33.9%) suffered from anxiety, (70%) moderate anxiety, (30%) severe anxiety, and it was also found that 45 (38.1%) suffer from stress, (73.3%) suffer from moderate stress, and (26.7 %) individuals suffer from severe stress.
Conclusion: Our study has shown that vitiligo moderately affects the QOL life of adult Yemen vitiligo patients. Therefore, treatment measures should be directed towards medical and psychological aspects of our patients for better treatment outcomes and improved QoL.
This would be an argument for establishment of psychodermatology clinics at our referral hospitals.
