“…Reduced general well-being and higher rates of depression have also been demonstrated in people without diabetes who had other chronic skin lesions, although very different methods and small samples were used for the assessment. Patients with atopic dermatitis have a similarly reduced quality of life [ 13 ], and patients suffering from psoriasis are more likely to suffer from depression when advanced disease is present [ 15 ].…”

Introduction To estimate lifetime prevalence of diabetes-related upper limb and non-acquired skin manifestations in a representative type 1 diabetes (T1D) population and to identify associations between these conditions and quality of life. Methods A questionnaire on these complications and measures of quality of life (World Health Organization–Five Well-Being Index [WHO-5]), depression, and diabetes-specific burden (Problem Areas in Diabetes [PAID] scale) was sent to all T1D patients in a Danish clinic ( N = 583). Results The response rate was 68.6%. Lifetime prevalence of any upper limb soft tissue lesion was 72%; prevalence of any skin lesion was 10.5%. Frozen shoulder and vitiligo were most common upper limb and skin manifestation, at a prevalence of 53 and 9.1%, respectively. Compared to patients with no skin lesion, those with at least one skin lesion had more depression (19 vs. 33%; P < 0.01) and lower WHO-5 scores. Frozen shoulder was associated with lower WHO-5 scores ( P < 0.001), more depression (29 vs. 14%; P < 0.001), and a higher PAID score ( P < 0.01). A diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome was associated with lower WHO-5 scores ( P < 0.001), a higher risk of depression (29 vs. 16%; P < 0.01), and a higher PAID score ( P < 0.001). Conclusion Upper limb soft tissue lesions and diabetes-specific non-acquired skin lesions are very common in patients with T1D and strongly associated with impaired life quality and increased risk of depression.

“…In individuals without diabetes, rheumatological diseases [ 13 ] and chronic active skin diseases affect the quality of life [ 14 , 15 ]. To date, no studies of diabetic rheumatological manifestations or diabetic skin lesions have explored associations with quality of life in patients with T1D.…”

“…A significantly negative correlation was found between this domain and the degree of depression (r s =-0.546 ** ) which suggests that the lower the quality of life the higher the rate of depression and vice versa. Mahmutovic et al (34) found a similar negative correlation in this domain (rho=-0.598 ** p = 0.0001). Therefore, the general public should be better informed about the disease in order to reduce stigmatization and improve the quality of life of the patients (14,20).…”

Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease characterized by scaly patches affecting approximately 2-5% of the population. The disease has a negative impact on quality of life and, therefore, psoriatic patients often develop depression. Our work deals with quality of life and depression in psoriasis sufferrers and strives to determine the correlation between their quality of life and depression. Methods: The research took place in the University Hospital Olomouc in 2017 and used questionnaires WHOQOL-BREF and BDI-II. 50 patients with psoriasis were chosen randomly. To process the data we used Mann-Whitney test (the level of significance = 5%) and Spearman´s correlation coefficient (the level of significance = 1%). Results: The results proved that psoriasis has a significant impact on quality of life. The scores for the overall life quality as well as for individual domains were significantly lower in psoriatic patients than in the control group (p<0.001). The degree of depression in patients with psoriasis showed statistically significant correlation in all domains of the quality of life. We proved negative correlation in the overall quality of life (rs =- 0.691**), physical condition (rs =-0.499**), social relations (rs =-0.546**), overall health (rs =-0.396**), and environment (rs =-0.386**). Conclusion: With regard to the ascertained negative correlation between psoriasis and depression and lower quality of life of the sufferers compared to the healthy population, it is essential for healthcare professionals to pay attention not only to somatic manifestations of the disease but also to the patients´ mental health.

“…In spite of the significant prevalence and incurability of psoriasis, its relation to quality of life and psychological problems, such as depression and anxiety, has been analyzed in only a few studies [ 41 , 42 ]. Designing appropriate interventions to improve the psychological conditions of patients with psoriasis requires preliminary analyses of the effective and protective factors in this disease.…”

Psoriasis skin disease affects the patients’ health and quality of life to a great extent. Given the chronic nature of the disease, identifying the factors affecting adaptation to the disease can provide guidelines required for helping these patients deal with their problems. This study was conducted with the purpose of investigating the relationship between spiritual well-being and resilience in patients suffering from psoriasis. The present study is a descriptive-analytical work conducted in the largest city in the south of Iran in 2019. 150 patients diagnosed with psoriasis completed Ellison and Paloutzian’s Spiritual Well-Being Scale and Connor and Davidson’s Resiliency Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS v. 20, descriptive (frequency distribution, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson, regression, and t-test). The significance level was set at 0.05. The obtained mean scores were 54.84 ± 13.25 for resilience and 73.22 ± 11.13 for spiritual health. Spiritual health predicted 43% of the variance of resilience, and all resilience-related factors had a significant positive relationship with spiritual well-being-related factors ( P > 0.05 ). An analysis of the relationship between demographic variables on the one hand and resilience and spiritual well-being on the other indicated that an increase in the patients’ academic status, duration of the disease, and age correlated with an increase in their resilience and spiritual well-being. Also, male patients and married patients were found to possess higher levels of resilience and spiritual well-being. According to the findings of the present study, spiritual well-being correlates with resilience in patients with psoriasis. Considering the chronic nature of the disease, it is recommended that more attention be paid to promoting spiritual health in the care plans of these patients.
