“…The impact on QoL due to BI was measured using the validated Danish version of the "Body Image Quality of Life Inventory" questionnaire (BIQLI) (23,24). BIQLI uses a 7-point bipolar scale, from highly negative impact to highly positive impact (from -3 to +3).…”

People with skin diseases often have a negative self-image compared with healthy persons. Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin disease leading to boils and scarring, mainly in the armpits and groins. Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa are often overweight and have a reduced quality of life. This study investigated whether patients with hidradenitis suppurativa had a more negative self-image compared with patients with other skin diseases. The results showed that, even after taking into account other important factors related to self-image, e.g. body mass index, sex, age, and symptoms of depression, hidradenitis suppurativa influenced self-image more negatively than did other skin diseases. Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin disease characterized by inflammation and disfiguring scarring in the intertriginous body areas. Hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with overweight and impaired quality of life. This study sought to describe Body Image Quality of Life (BI-QoL) in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa and to compare it with patients with other skin diseases (controls). A total of 285 participants were recruited, 141 with hidradenitis suppurativa and 144 controls, at the Department of Dermatology at Zealand University Hospital, Denmark (during 2017-18). The Danish "Body Image Quality of Life Inventory" questionnaire measured BI-QoL. Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa had significantly lower mean BI-QoL than controls: Hidradenitis suppurativa BI-QoL (standard deviation; SD)-0.87 (0.98) vs. control BI-QoL (SD) 0.01 (1.11), p < 0.001. Predictors of negative BI-QoL were hidradenitis suppurativa, increased body mass index, female sex, symptoms of depression, and body mass index moderated by hidradenitis suppurativa. These data suggest that BI-QoL is impaired in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa compared with patients with other skin diseases after adjusting for confounders.

Background Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare but severe infectious disease. Patients with IE are treated for weeks in the hospital and have profound impairments to their health. New treatment modalities increase options for outpatient care. Little is known about how patients perceive their disease and hospitalisation. We aimed to explore the needs of patients with IE during hospitalisation and the first few months after discharge. Methods In this qualitative study, 20 patients (45–86 years of age) hospitalised due to IE in Swedish hospitals were interviewed a median of 112 (67–221) days after hospitalisation. Data were analysed with qualitative content analysis, identifying eight subcategories, two categories, and an overall theme. Results The overall theme illuminated a spectrum of needs of patients suffering from IE, between treating the disease and meeting the person with the illness. The needs encompassed eight axes with dual focus on both medical excellence and person-centred care. Medical excellence was needed to optimally treat, supervise, and offer follow-up on this rare and severe disease; patients longed to come home, and there were issues of reliability in the healthcare system. Person-centred care was requested, including individualised information leading to knowledge, reorientation, the beginning of health restoration, and being met as a unique person. Symptoms of fatigue, wasting, and cognitive and mental distress were often neglected by the caregiver. Conclusions This explorative study shows the patient’s needs as important areas in a spectrum between medical excellence and person-centred care. Care in specialised units secure quality. Early discharge is requested by patients. Multiprofessional individualizing outpatient care needs to develop with preserved safety and medical excellence. The disease trajectory after discharge progresses slowly, and the possibility of mitigating its progress is still unclear. Person-centred care, screening for delayed restoration and rehabilitation after endocarditis are important fields for future studies.

Validity, reliability and responsiveness of the Body Image Quality of Life Inventory in patients treated for infective endocarditis

Abstract: The BIQLI-DA may be applicable in healthcare research as it seems to be valid, reliable and responsive; however, evidence should be strengthened through further exploration of instrument performance, particularly regarding responsiveness.
