“…We found a significant association between HL and self‐efficacy in all the HLQ scales. Knowing the value of self‐efficacy to attain self‐management this is an important finding that supports previous research . Patients with higher HL may feel more confident in their ability to pursue self‐management behaviours and may be more likely to perform them .…”

Summary Background Health literacy (HL) – the ability to seek, understand and utilize health information – is important for good health. Suboptimal HL has been associated with poorer health outcomes in other chronic conditions, although this has not previously been studied in patients with psoriasis. Objectives To investigate the HL strengths and weaknesses of a cohort of patients with moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis. Another aim was to examine possible associations between patients’ quality of life, their demographic, clinical and self‐management characteristics, and dimensions of HL. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted. Data were collected from a cohort of patients with psoriasis who had received climate helio therapy from 2011 to 2016 (n = 825). HL was assessed by the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ). The association between HL domains, demographic, clinical and self‐management variables were analysed using bivariate correlation and a four‐step linear multiple regression model. Results The scores on all HLQ dimensions indicated lower health literacy than other populations. The linear regression models showed a significant association between HL, quality of life and self‐management variables, with higher HL predicting higher quality of life, self‐efficacy and psoriasis knowledge. Sex, educational attainment, age and disease severity had less influence on health literacy. Conclusions Improving HL may be a useful strategy for reducing disparities in self‐management skills for patients with psoriasis. Interventions that aim to reduce disease severity and increase psoriasis knowledge, self‐efficacy and quality of life may positively increase HL.

“…The final instrument has eight scales, which have been translated and culturally adapted into over 20 languages, and are currently being applied in clinical trials worldwide, including in Norway [12][13][14][15]. However, only a few studies have reported the psychometric performance of the heiQ in the diverse settings, in which it is being applied [16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

“…This builds up the nomothetic web around the questionnaire and self-management across settings, and should give researchers, program implementers and policymakers the confidence that the heiQ will deliver reliable information on program outcomes and will support quality improvement activities. The heiQ has revealed effects in studies with different health care programs [e.g 14,15], and this is likely due to the scales being sensitive to meaningful and relevant outcomes for people participating in self-management programs. …”

“…Brief MI interventions have proved successful in health settings but effectiveness in dermatology care is untested. In this issue of the BJD, Larsen et al . conducted an RCT to evaluate a 3‐month MI intervention for patients with psoriasis post climate therapy/heliotherapy (CHT, an established 3‐week, multidisciplinary therapeutic programme embracing measured sunlight exposure, physical exercise, group interactions and extensive education).…”

sumption of a particular type of alcoholic drink (wine, beer, liquor or mixed drinks) was associated with early-onset BCC.The evidence presented by Zhang et al. adds to the thus-far mixed findings from other epidemiological studies of alcohol intake and BCC occurrence. While patients with Gorlin syndrome were excluded from Zhang et al.'s study, it is not clear whether a different mix of skin cancer risk factors is at play in adults affected by skin cancer at such a young age.Detailed and reliable assessments of possible confounding factors such as skin phenotype, time spent outdoors in the sun, and use of sun-protection methods are crucial for studies that attempt to ascertain whether consumption of alcoholic drinks has an independent, causal association with skin cancer. Variations in study design (recall bias) and the quality of exposure and confounder assessment may well explain some of the current inconsistencies in evidence.Further accumulation of data from studies in different population groups and geographical locations is needed before we can draw firm conclusions. But when it comes to advice for patients and the general public, the message is clear: if alcoholic drinks are consumed, consumption should be limited to no more than two drinks a day for men and one drink a day for women because there is unequivocal agreement that alcohol intake increases the risk of major cancers, including breast and colon cancer. 5 Thus boozing on the beach could be okay, but be sure to do it in moderation on the odd occasion, and with sun protection.
