“…In fact, the drops in SKINDEX-16 scores we observed over our two-week study was comparable to those of clinically ''improved'' dermatological patients over a one year period (Chren et al 2001), suggesting that our interventions produced clinically meaningful changes. Given that the SKINDEX is not an objective report of acne severity, we cannot claim that our interventions improved acne.…”

“…Three subscales comprise the measure: physical acne symptoms (''…your skin condition burning or stinging''), acne-related emotional distress (''…embarrassment about your skin condition''), and acne-related impaired functioning (''…the effects of your skin condition on your interaction with others''). The SKINDEX-16 has previously shown high construct validity for all subscales (Chren et al 2001).…”

Soothing Oneself and Resisting Self-Attacks: The Treatment of Two Intrapersonal Deficits in Depression Vulnerability

Self-critical individuals are more likely to become and remain depressed (Blatt, Experiences of depression: Theoretical, research and clinical perspectives, American Psychological Association Press, Washington, DC, 2004). This vulnerability to depression may reflect the association of trait self-criticism with difficulties self-soothing and resisting self-attacks. The current study tested the impact of two self-help interventions designed to reduce depression by improving these two intrapersonal deficits. The first was designed to foster compassionate self-relating whereas the second was designed to foster resilient self-relating. Seventy-five distressed acne sufferers were assigned to one of three conditions: a self-soothing intervention, an attack-resisting intervention, or a control condition. The interventions consisted of daily imagery-based self-talk exercises inspired by Gilbert's (Genes on the couch: Explorations in evolutionary psychotherapy, Brenner-Routledge, Hove, 2000) social mentatlities theory and compassionate mind training (Gilbert and Irons, Compassion: Conceptualisations, research and use in psychotherapy, Brunner-Routledge, London, 2005). In two weeks, the self-soothing intervention lowered shame and skin complaints. The attack-resisting intervention lowered depression, shame, and skin complaints, and was especially effective at lowering depression for self-critics. Implications for the treatment of self-criticism and depression are discussed.

“…Among the studies discussed, telephone interviews were often utilized, as were the Skindex and TSQM surveys. In contrast to the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), the Skindex-16 dermatology survey mostly evaluates clinical severity and the TSQM evaluates satisfaction with the medication 44. The DLQI also fails to assess factors such as fear of SCC, which would potentially show in the emotions subscale of the Skindex-16 survey.…”

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a common dermatologic condition in which hyperplastic epidermal lesions develop in response to excessive and chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. If left untreated, AK can progress to squamous cell carcinomas of the skin. Incidence is rising worldwide as a result of the progressive aging of populations and an increase in lifetime cumulative exposure to UV radiation. Currently, various treatment options exist, which range from topical medications to light-based therapies and procedural modalities. In this article, we will review the treatment options for AK with a focus on assessments of patient satisfaction with treatment.

Purpose Radiotherapy-related dermatological toxicities over time have not been well quantified. We examined during and immediately following radiation therapy skin toxicities over time in a randomized study of mometasone furoate vs placebo during breast radiotherapy. Material and Methods Patients with breast cancer undergoing radiotherapy to the breast or chest wall were randomized. Symptoms related to skin toxicity were addressed weekly using provider-reported Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v3.0) and 4 patient-reported outcomes (PRO) surveys. We applied repeated measures and risk analysis methodologies. Results 176 patients were enrolled. By CTCAE significant differences favoring mometasone were detected over time in all toxicities except skin striae, atrophy, and infection. Statistically significant differences between arms at baseline but not over time occurred for all Linear Analog Self-Assessment assessments. Statistically significant differences occurred for all symptoms in the temporal profile of symptoms as measured by PRO surveys (all P<.001). Conclusions The use of longitudinal methods enhanced the ability of PRO tools to detect differences between study arms. Our results strengthened the conclusions of the original report that mometasone reduced acute skin toxicities. PRO surveys can accurately assess patients’ experiences of symptom type and intensity over time and should be included in future clinical trials.
