“…As other visible skin conditions, such as acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, visible scars impact the subjects' QoL. [13][14][15][16] Even though the DLQI showed that scars had an important impact on QoL, significantly (p < 0.001) more subjects with recent scars reported being impacted in their daily life and activities when being bothered than those who were not, being mainly bothered due to the visibility of scars and presence of marks. These results parallel those from previous studies that illustrated the negative psychosocial of scars.…”

The skin is a complex structure and is the most vulnerable organ of the body being permanently exposed to potential injury, which frequently leads to less or more visible scars. 1,2 Various factors may cause scars, such as surgery, skin injury or accidents, burning or inflammatory skin diseases and infections. 3 Scars may not only be visible but also cause pruritus, pain, and other discomfort. In the UK, 26% and 44% of patients reported pain and itching related to their scars, impacting their physical comfort and functioning. 4 However, scars do not only have a physical impact. When being present on areas not covered by clothes, especially on the face and hands, they may also be embarrassing and cause an important impact on quality of life (QoL). [5][6][7][8] Very recently, an epidemiological study conducted in 11,100 adults with scars showed that the most frequently reported location of recent scars in women was the abdomen (20.4%) and face (15.9%) while the prevalence was

“…3 Patient QoL could be positively influenced if patients understood their disease, and if they thought their condition could be kept under control. 2 Reinforcing these observations, Muftin et al 4 examined the impact of online compassion-focused self-help for psoriasis, and report their findings in this issue of the BJD. In a randomized controlled trial (RCT), over 4 weeks, patients with psoriasis received either compassion-based self-help (n = 65) or mindfulness-based self-help (n = 65).…”

Objective We aimed to examine the illness perception characteristics of patients with myasthenia gravis and analyze the associated factors. Methods A general information questionnaire, Illness Perception Questionnaire, and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire were used to survey 90 patients with myasthenia gravis. One‐way analysis of variance and multivariate linear regression were used for statistical analysis. Results The timeline (acute/chronic), consequence, and emotional representation scores of patients with myasthenia gravis were 18.31 ± 4.47, 18.58 ± 3.57, and 20.80 ± 4.56, respectively. Multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis showed that marital status, disease duration, educational level, disease type, and coping style are factors associated with illness perception in patients with myasthenia gravis. Conclusion Patients who have myasthenia gravis have a negative illness perception. Medical professionals should provide targeted intervention measures based on the factors associated with illness perception.
