ImportanceQualitative studies serve as a tool for dermatologists and researchers in dermatology to engage with and understand perspectives of populations with different cultures and backgrounds.ObjectiveTo assess (1) current approaches to qualitative dermatologic research and (2) the publication trends of these studies with the aim to inform researchers regarding qualitative research and its significance and applicability in the field of dermatology.Evidence ReviewA scoping review was conducted in which PubMed and CINAHL Plus were searched using dermatology AND qualitative, dermatology, and 7 qualitative methods terms. Studies were selected for inclusion using 3 levels of screening. Level 1 excluded articles published in a language other than English. Level 2 excluded articles of studies involving mixed methods, quantitative methods, systematic review, and meta-analysis. Level 3 excluded articles that were not specific to general dermatology, medical dermatology, pediatric dermatology, dermatologic surgery, dermatopathology, or education and training associated with dermatology. Finally, all duplicates were removed. The searches were conducted from July 23 to 28, 2022. All articles obtained from PubMed and CINAHL Plus searches were recorded in REDCap.FindingsA total of 1398 articles were reviewed, and of these, 249 (17.8%) were qualitative dermatology studies. Common qualitative methods included content analysis (58 [23.3%]) and grounded theory/constant comparison (35 [14.1%]). Individual interviews were the most common data collection method (198 [79.5%]), and patients (174 [69.9%]) were the most common participant type. Patient experience (137 [55.0%]) was the most common investigated topic. Overall, 131 qualitative studies (52.6%) in dermatology were published in dermatology journals, and 120 qualitative studies (48.2%) in dermatology were published between 2020 and 2022.Conclusions and RelevanceQualitative research in dermatology is becoming more prevalent. There is value in qualitative research, and we encourage researchers in dermatology to incorporate qualitative methods in their studies.

Background Illness perceptions in psoriasis have an impact on adherence and disability. Changes in dermatological healthcare provision during the Covid‐19 pandemic and distress may have affected illness perceptions in psoriasis patients. Objectives To test whether illness perceptions about psoriasis changed during the first year of the Covid‐19 pandemic compared to pre‐pandemic in a tertiary population with psoriasis and whether pandemic effects differed depending on depressive burden, given this population's high depression prevalence. Methods In a cross‐sectional survey of n = 188 tertiary patients with dermatologist‐confirmed psoriasis recruited before and during the pandemic, eight illness perceptions domains were assessed using the Brief‐Illness Perceptions Questionnaire (BIPQ). Presence of depression was assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Results Beliefs about treatment control and patients' understanding of psoriasis were significantly worse in patients responding during the pandemic compared to before Covid‐19. These differences were greater when depression was absent (treatment control: adjusted p < 0.001; coherence: adjusted p = 0.01). However, participants during the pandemic felt less emotionally affected (adjusted p = 0.02) and concerned (adjusted p = 0.007) about psoriasis, independently of depression. Conclusions We found diverse pandemic effects on illness perception domains in psoriasis. Uncertainty and reduced healthcare access may drive poorer treatment and coherence beliefs during Covid‐19. These beliefs can hinder patients' health‐promoting behaviours and may explain the high pandemic non‐adherence reported previously in psoriasis. Appropriate interventions are needed to establish positive long‐term cognitions and improve psoriasis management, for example, using the PsoWell patient materials. Dermatology services should invest in engaging and educating patients regardless of concurrent psychological distress.
