“…When it´s used the Campos et al 17 questionnaire 17 , interviewees reported significant harm to QoL in situations of greeting people with handshakes, writing, wearing socks and dancing socially. The data found were similar to those of other studies, which demonstrated intense discomfort and low selfesteem in patients with PH, besides a negative impact on QoL in social and professional settings 7,35,38,39,40,41,42 . PH, although it is a chronic disease, beginning in the first decades of life, with significant prevalence and negative biopsychosocial interference, remains unknown by the general population and professionals of the health area.…”

“…There are different prevalence ranges around the globe, ranging from 0.6% to 16.3% 5 . In Brazil, the prevalence in the general population is 9.0% 6 and, in a specific group, 14.7% 7 . Sweating is usually bilateral, symmetrical, and triggered or worsened by stressful stimuli, with no interference from ambient temperature and usually ceases during sleep.…”

Aim: To assess the prevalence, quality of life (QoL), and the damages caused by PH, in the professional and personal scope of Physical Education academics with Primary Hyperhidrosis (PH). Methods: A descriptive, exploratory, qualitative and quantitative cross-sectional study was carried out. Twenty-five students from the physical education course at Tiradentes University, Aracaju-SE, were interviewed from August to November 2017. Validated questionnaires were used on PH's influence in academic activities and QoL. absolute and relative frequencies in the case of categorical variables and measures of trend and central variability in the case of numerical variables. Results: The prevalence of PH in students of Physical Education was 11.11%, mainly in combined sites, such as palmoplantar, and with no difference between the sexes. The symptoms started mostly during childhood and adolescence. Most of the interviewees (92%) reported difficulties with activities such as sports, use of personal protective equipment, handling of work equipment and instruments, and exacerbation in stress situations. They reported significant harm to QoL in situations of greeting people with handshakes, writing, wearing socks and dancing socially. Conclusion: Although PH is a disease that negatively impacts the QoL, it is still little known in the academic world with little demand for medical help. Therefore, it is necessary greater dissemination of the disease for its early diagnosis, related to the intensity of the sweating for a better therapeutic approach.

BackgroundAn understanding of the daily life impacts of hyperhidrosis and how patients deal with them, based on qualitative research, is lacking. This study investigated the impact of hyperhidrosis on the daily life of patients using a mix of qualitative research methods.MethodsParticipants were recruited through hyperhidrosis patient support groups such as the Hyperhidrosis Support Group UK. Data were collected using focus groups, interviews and online surveys. A grounded theory approach was used in the analysis of data transcripts. Data were collected from 71 participants, out of an initial 100 individuals recruited.ResultsSeventeen major themes capturing the impacts of hyperhidrosis were identified; these covered all areas of life including daily life, psychological well-being, social life, professional /school life, dealing with hyperhidrosis, unmet health care needs and physical impact.ConclusionsPsychosocial impacts are central to the overall impacts of hyperhidrosis, cutting across and underlying the limitations experienced in other areas of life.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12955-017-0693-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

RESUMO Hiperidrose é a produção excessiva de suor pelo corpo, podendo ser primária ou secundária e generalizada ou localizada. As regiões craniofacial, axilar, palmar, dorso, face interna das coxas, plantar são comumente afetadas. A hiperidrose primária (HP), embora seja uma doença benigna, apresenta um eminente impacto negativo na qualidade de vida do paciente. Essa doença é classificada quantitativamente de acordo com a Escala de Gravidade da Doença da Hiperidrose, com base em como ela pode afetar as atividades diárias, podendo ser de leve a grave intensidade. Os acadêmicos de medicina enfrentam situações desgastantes físicas e emocionais durante seus afazeres e, quando portadores de doenças crônicas como a HP, podem ser estigmatizados como inseguros na sua profissão. Objetivou-se definir a prevalência, os critérios diagnósticos, a gravidade e o impacto na qualidade de vida que a HP proporciona nos âmbitos profissional e extracurricular dos acadêmicos de medicina. Trata-se de um estudo transversal de abordagem quantitativa de caráter descritivo, que inclui 300 acadêmicos do curso de Medicina da Universidade Tiradentes, em Aracaju/SE, no período de agosto a novembro de 2017. Utilizaram-se frequências absolutas e relativas no caso de variáveis categóricas e medidas de tendência e variabilidade central no caso de variáveis numéricas. O valor de p < 0,05 foi considerado significativo. A prevalência de HP em estudantes de medicina foi de 18% sem diferença entre os sexos e com predomínios das cores branca e parda. A doença ocorreu principalmente em sítios combinados, como palmoplantar, sendo a região palmar a mais acometida. Os sintomas iniciaram-se, principalmente, durante a infância e adolescência, com prejuízo importante nas atividades diárias pessoais e laborativas, e exacerbação do suor com situações de estresse. A gravidade da HP mais encontrada foi a moderada, sendo o impacto negativo na qualidade de vida principalmente relatado nos graus mais avançados da doença, dificultando as atividades acadêmicas. É importante a inclusão do conhecimento da HP no currículo médico para uma maior divulgação da doença, de modo a permitir um diagnóstico precoce e relacionado à intensidade da sudorese na sua abordagem terapêutica.
