“… 14 This study was conducted for the assessment of anxiety and depression in patients with acne as compared with controls matched for age and sex. In this study, the prevalence of acne significantly differed according to marital status, in contrast to the studies of Alanazi et al 15 and Öztekin, 16 which showed that the prevalence of acne was not significantly affected by marital status. However, many studies showed that the use of contraception and menstrual disorders were significant risk factors of acne.…”

“…25 However, other studies showed that depression is an important indicator of the disease and showed a high prevalence in comparison with the control group. 16 Some reports also suggested that acne severity worsened the psychological status of patients, mainly those with depression. 28 Jena and Sahoo 10 revealed a high association of acne vulgaris with depression and anxiety scores, but was no relationship with acne severity.…”

Purpose Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological disease in adolescents that show high prevalence rates of anxiety and depression that may lead to consequences that affect quality of life. This study aimed to assess and compare anxiety and depression in patients with acne and a control group and to determine their correlation with other demographic data. Patients and Methods This was a case-control study conducted in 2019 for 3 months at the derma-tology department of Ohud Hospital and two other private clinics in the Medina region of Saudi Arabia. For this study, 296 consecutive patients in the age group of 12 to 60 years who were diagnosed as having acne vulgaris were enrolled and matched with a control group. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire, including sociodemographic data and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale scores. Results We found no significant differences between the two groups regarding sex, age group, nationality, and educational level, but found a significant difference in marital status (p < 0.001). Most (62.5%) of the acne cases were moderate in severity. The overall anxiety score in the acne group was 7.68 ± 4.90, with a significant difference with the control group (p = 0.031), whereas the anxiety level and depression score showed no significant difference (p = 0.082 and p = 0.656, respectively). Moreover, a strong correlation was found between anxiety and depression in the acne group (r = 0.732, p < 0.001). Conclusion A positive correlation was found between the anxiety and depression scores in the patients with acne, which was not related to age group or educational level. However, the anxiety scores of the patients with acne showed a significant relationship with sex.

“…The severity of anxiety and depression did not show a linear relationship with acne severity (4) , and Öztekin recently demonstrated that occurrence of acne, rather than its severity, may cause psychological symptoms. (3) In this study, the mean of the anxiety and depression scores was significantly higher in the acne group than in the control group. This finding supports the findings of the cross-sectional study by Golchai et al (2010) on 82 patients with acne and 82 persons without acne.…”

“…(2) Besides acne's negative cosmetic effect, acne harms the patient's self-image and may negatively affect social relations. (3) Patients with acne vulgaris have an increased risk of anxiety and depression; thus, these patients have an increased risk of suicidal tendencies and difficulties in social, occupational, and academic fields. (2) Studies have demonstrated a high frequency of depression and anxiety in patients with acne (26%-44%) and a suicide rate of approximately 6%-7.1%, which is a high psychiatric comorbidity preceding other chronic medical diseases such as bronchial asthma, diabetes mellitus, and arthritis.…”

Background: Acne vulgaris is a prevalent skin condition that may affect the perception of body image and adversely affect social and psychological states. This disease has been associated with rates of depression, anxiety, failure to thrive at school and in social environments, suicidal ideation, and suicidal attempts that are higher than in individuals without this disease. Objective: To estimate the frequency of anxiety and depression in patients with acne vulgaris and determine the association between acne severity and anxiety and depression in those patients Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in Zagazig University Hospital on 92 subjects (46 patients with acne and 46 individuals without acne); they were interviewed. The researcher used the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) to classify acne and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to determine anxiety and depression. Results: In the acne group, 23.9% had anxiety and 13.1% had depression. In the control group, 6.5% had anxiety and 4.3% had depression; the difference was statistically significant. Of the acne group patients with severe acne, 66.7% had anxiety and 44.4% had depression. There was a significant correlation between the severity of acne evaluated by GAGS and HADS for anxiety (r = 0.712, p < 0.001) and GAGS and HADS for depression (r = 0.584, p < 0.001). Conclusion:Acne vulgaris may be associated with depression and anxiety, with a linear relationship between its severity and the presence of depression and anxiety. Patients with acne vulgaris should undergo a continually psychiatric evaluation by their primary care physician to avoid the negative effects on their mental and social health.

Objective The present study aims to explore the effect of acne debridement + meticulous nursing on 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) in adolescent patients with moderate–severe acne. Methods A total of 60 adolescent patients with moderate–severe acne who were admitted to our plastic surgery outpatient clinic between January 2018 and January 2020 were selected as the subjects of the present retrospective study. The patients were divided into two groups: the observation group and the control group (n = 30, each). Patients in the control group were treated with standardized ALA-PDT and conventional nursing, while patients in the observation group were treated with ALA-PDT and acne debridement + meticulous nursing intervention. The treatment’s therapeutic effect, adverse reaction incidence, and patient satisfaction 6 months after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results The acne debridement + meticulous nursing effectiveness was 86.7% in the observation group and 60% in the control group, and the adverse reaction incidence was 20% in the observation group and 46.7% in the control group. There existed statistically significant differences in the above-stated indicators between the two groups (p < 0.05). The difference in the visual analogue scores (VASs) for pain, which were measured immediately after the operations, between the two groups was not statistically significant (p > 0.05); however, the respective VAS differences between the two groups at 30 min and 60 min after the operation were statistically significant (p < 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in patient satisfaction between the two groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion In adolescent patients with ALA-PDT-treated moderate–severe acne, the application of acne debridement + meticulous nursing could improve the clinical treatment efficacy and patient comfort as well as reduce the adverse reaction incidence. For these reasons, the treatment method could be worth promoting in clinical practice.
