One of the most common occupational diseases is skin disease caused as a result of contact with work-related materials or exacerbated by them. Although occupational-related skin disease is a common condition, it is not considered to be a serious one and, therefore, has not received satisfactory attention in the psycho-social literature or in the social work profession. In our study, 70 occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) patients were interviewed by telephone regarding psychological, social, economic, and subjective issues related to the disease. All patients reported to be affected in their daily living activities, self-image, economic status, and in their interpersonal relationships in the family. Our study seeks to highlight the problems of this population group and serve as a vehicle to facilitate patient's rights.
最常见的职业病之一是因接触与工作相关的材料而引发或病情加重的皮肤病。尽管与职业相关的皮肤病很常见，但它并不被视为严重疾病，因此在心理社会文献或社会工作领域中并未得到充分关注。在我们的研究中，通过电话采访了70名职业性接触性皮炎（OCD）患者，询问了与该疾病相关的心理、社会、经济和主观问题。所有患者均表示在日常生活活动、自我形象、经济状况以及家庭人际关系方面受到了影响。我们的研究旨在突出这一人群的问题，并作为促进患者权利的一种手段。
