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.

“…Mas, para que as pessoas portadoras de úlceras venosas possam compreender os diferentes fatores e intervenções inerentes à prevenção da recidiva, o conhecimento sobre a origem da lesão surge como algo absolutamente indispensável. De facto, uma baixa adesão às medidas terapêuticas para a prevenção da recidiva, está inequivocamente associada a uma falta de conhecimento (Probst et al, 2019(Probst et al, , 2020, particularmente sobre a etiologia da úlcera venosa e sobre os benefícios e efetividade das atividades de prevenção da recidiva (Bobbink et al, 2020;Brown, 2018;Moscicka et al, 2019).…”

Venous leg ulcers are the most common form of ulceration in the lower limbs, representing up to 85% of all leg ulcers, with a high economic impact and quality of life Introduction: Recurrence of venous ulcers reaches 70% at 12 months after healing, which is associated with low adherence to prevention measures, strongly influenced by a poor understanding of the etiology of the lesion and the importance of these prevention measures; Goals: To understand the experience of people with venous ulcers in adhering to measures to prevent their recurrence. Methods Qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive phenomenological study, carried out in a non-probabilistic sample selected by convenience from a population of users of a Group of Health Centers of the Regional Health Administration of Central Portugal. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 14 participants, proceeding to content analysis using the WebQda® software. Results Through the aggregation of the findings in categories and subcategories, two themes emerged related to Knowledge about the origin of the wound and about How I prevent the reappearance of my wound, corresponding to the main interventions for the prevention of recurrence of venous ulcers. Conclusions. Knowledge about the origin of the lesion is crucial for understanding the recurrence of venous ulcers, namely about its prevention measures. Prevention measures include compression stockings, venous return exercises, lifting the limbs at rest and cleaning and moisturizing the skin, which are associated with the experience of different benefits and difficulties/limitations.
