“…The two groups also differed significantly in physical health, environmental health, and overall QoL. These findings are consistent with a body of research (Cingi et al, 2020;Noh et al, 2019;Shin et al, 2018;Sikorska-Szaflik & Sozańska, 2020). It can be argued that respiratory problems and symptoms that emerge inside and outside the nose adversely affect daily life, physical or psychological health, and social functioning (Fidan et al, 2013;Shin et al, 2018).…”

“…It can be argued that respiratory problems and symptoms that emerge inside and outside the nose adversely affect daily life, physical or psychological health, and social functioning (Fidan et al, 2013;Shin et al, 2018). The symptoms cause so much suffering that patients' daily routine is disrupted, and their QoL is lowered (Cingi et al, 2020). Moreover, allergic rhinitis alters the round-the-clock rhythm of the cortisol hormone.…”

“…Their QoL was also found to be low (Noh et al, 2019). Research findings reported by Sikorska-Szaflik and Sozańska (2020) and Cingi, Orhon, and Eckler (2020) indicate that allergic symptoms could cause inflammation in the respiratory system, leading to hearing damage, which is a critical factor in human interactions. It can also disrupt daily activities and dramatically affect the QoL.…”

Objective: Allergic rhinitis, as a global health problem, accounts for several psychological disorders, including fatigue, mood changes, depression, anxiety, and disrupted Quality of Life. How people cope with the symptoms of this disease is essential. The present research is pioneering in comparing the QoL, psychological state, and cognitive emotion regulation strategies of patients with allergic rhinitis and healthy individuals. Methods: Aligned with the purpose of the study, 132 patients and 132 healthy subjects were assigned to two groups. Both groups responded to the QoL symptom checklist (SCL90) and a short form of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). One-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was run to make between-group comparisons. Results: The findings revealed that allergic patients had a lower QoL. Similarly, the two groups showed statistically significant differences in physical health, environmental life, and overall QoL. Clinical symptoms prevailed more in the allergic group compared to the healthy. Also, these two groups differed significantly regarding somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, and anxiety sub-scales. The healthy group used more adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (for instance, acceptance and positive reevaluation) than the allergic group. In addition, statistically significant divergences were found in the catastrophizing strategy, which prevailed more in the allergic group. Conclusion: Given the present findings, patients with allergic rhinitis have lower psychological health and QoL compared to the healthy population. These unfavorable conditions can result from inefficient use of cognitive emotion regulation strategies that mutually link allergic and clinical symptoms to the patients’ QoL.
