“…The questionnaire consists of three scales assessing burden of symptoms, social functioning and emotional state. The Skindex-29 has repeatedly been shown to be a valid and reliable tool for measuring health-related quality of life in dermatological patients [17,18,19]. We used the validated Italian version [19].…”

Background: Psychiatric disorders are frequent in dermatology patients, and many studies pointed out complex, mutual relationships between psyche and skin. Our aim was to provide a systematic psychosocial evaluation of a large and heterogeneous population of patients with skin diseases, including assessments of quality of life, psychiatric status according to the DSM-IV and psychological conditions with psychosomatic relevance according to established criteria (Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research, DCPR). Methods: We studied 545 dermatological inpatients aged 18–65 years, free from dementia and cognitive impairment. They completed the Skindex-29 and the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and were administered the SCID-I and the Structured Interview for Psychological Conditions of Psychosomatic Relevance by a trained mental health professional blinded to questionnaire scores. Results: Overall, 38% of patients received a DSM-IV diagnosis. The most common diagnoses were mood (20%) and anxiety disorders (16%); 48% of patients also received a DCPR diagnosis. The most common were demoralisation, irritable mood, type A behaviour and various forms of abnormal illness behaviour. Adjusting for gender, age, and education, the presence of DSM-IV or DCPR diagnoses was significantly associated with high scores on the GHQ-12 and on the Functioning and Emotions scales of the Skindex-29. Also, DCPR diagnoses were significantly associated with high scores on the Symptoms scale of the Skindex-29. Conclusions: These findings highlight the high frequency of psychosocial problems in patients with skin disease and suggest that the joint use of DSM-IV and DCPR criteria may help identify those patients in whom psychiatric issues are worthy of increased clinical attention.

Further Evidence of the Validity and Reliability of the Skindex-29: An Italian Study on 2,242 Dermatological Outpatients

et al. 2002

Background: Quality of life is increasingly recognized as an important measure in dermatology. The Skindex-29 is a self-administered questionnaire recently developed to measure comprehensively the complex effects of skin diseases on patients’ quality of life. Objective: We aimed to provide further evidence of the reliability and validity of the Skindex-29 in a large sample of patients affected by a wide variety of skin diseases. Methods: An Italian version of the Skindex-29 was produced following accepted guidelines for the cross-cultural adaptation of questionnaires. All adult outpatients attending a dermatological hospital on predetermined days were given the Skindex-29 and the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Results: A total of 2,242 complete questionnaires were analyzed. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability of each scale were high. The factor structure of the Skindex-29 was strikingly similar to the one originally observed in American patients. The pattern of correlation with the GHQ-12 provided evidence of convergent validity of the Skindex-29. Conclusion: The instrument seems to measure three fundamental dimensions of skin health-related quality of life.

“…Por otra parte, en las alopecias localizadas carentes de síntomas o de alteración en la función como la alopecia areata y la de tipo androgénico, se observa un impacto importante en la calidad de vida dermatológica, particularmente en el dominio emocional; ello es similar a lo encontrado en la versión española de esta escala y en su versión original (3,16).…”

“…Cabe anotar que los resultados obtenidos en este estudio en lo referente a la fiabilidad y a la validez de constructo en grupos extremos coinciden con los reportados tanto en la versión original en inglés del Skindex-29 como en sus versiones española e italiana (2,14,16), pero los nuestros no se pueden comparar directamente con los de estudios publicados acerca de este tipo de evaluación rigurosa con otros instrumentos que evalúan la CV dermatológica tales como el DLQI. Se hace, por tanto, necesario evaluar estas mismas propiedades psicométricas en las demás versiones del Skindex-29 que se han traducido y adaptado a otros idiomas y países.…”

“…Lo anterior muestra que la versión colombiana del Skindex-29© es lo suficientemente sensible y presenta valores adecuados de los efectos suelo y techo. Ello es similar a lo encontrado en la versión española del instrumento (1) en lo referente al efecto techo global, pero contrasta con los valores del efecto suelo encontrados en dicha versión principalmente en el dominio funcional que fueron superiores al 20 %, tanto en los enfermos con lesiones cutáneas aisladas o tumorales como en aquellos con dermatosis inflamatorias (16). Lo anterior pudiera sugerir que en nuestra población las enfermedades cutáneas no solo alteran los dominios emocional y sintomático, sino que tienen un impacto importante en la funcionalidad.…”

Introducción: la adaptación cultural de los instrumentos de calidad de vida y su evaluación psicométrica se deben hacer de forma rigurosa y estandarizada.Objetivo: evaluar la fiabilidad y la validez de constructo de la versión colombiana del instrumento Skindex-29©.Métodos: se incluyeron pacientes con enfermedades cutáneas inflamatorias o generalizadas; con enfermedades no inflamatorias o localizadas, e individuos sanos y se determinó la fiabilidad intraobservador e interobservador.Resultados: se encuestaron 265 individuos. El coeficiente alfa de Cronbach fue de 0,957 para el instrumento total. Los coeficientes de correlación intraclase de la consistencia intraobservador e interobservador fueron superiores al 0,9. Los pacientes con enfermedades dermatológicas generalizadas y con dermatosis inflamatorias tuvieron puntuaciones más altas que las de aquellos con lesiones cutáneas no inflamatorias o aisladas.Conclusiones: los resultados corroboran la validez de constructo del instrumento estudiado. En el futuro es necesario evaluar otras propiedades psicométricas del mismo tales como su validez de contenido y de criterio y su sensibilidad al cambio. Objective: This study assessed the reliability and construct validity of the Colombian version of the Skindex-29 instrument.Methods: Patients with inflammatory or generalized skin diseases and with non-inflammatory or localized diseases, and healthy individuals were included. We determined the intra-and inter-observer reliability.Results: We surveyed 265 individuals. Cronbach's alpha was 0.957 for the total instrument. The intraclass correlation coefficients for intra-observer and inter-observer consistency were higher than 0.9. Patients with generalized or inflammatory diseases had higher scores than those with non-inflammatory or isolated lesions. Conclusions:The results support the construct validity of the studied instrument. In the future, it is necessary to evaluate other psychometric properties such as its content and criteria validity, and its sensitivity to change.

The Spanish version of Skindex‐29

Abstract: We have developed a semantically equivalent translation of Skindex-29 into Spanish. Our preliminary evaluation of its measurement properties suggests that it is a reliable and valid measure of the effects of skin disease on the quality of life in Spanish patients.
