Psychosocial outcome measures, which attempt to examine acne from the patient's perspective, have become increasingly important in dermatology research. One such measure is the Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire. The authors' primary aim was to determine the validity and internal consistency of the Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire in patients with acne vulgaris. The secondary aim was to investigate the relationship between body image disturbance and quality of life. This cross-sectional investigation included 52 consecutive acne patients presenting to an outpatient dermatology clinic. Subjects completed the Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire, Skindex-16, and other body image and psychosocial functioning measures. An objective assessment of acne was performed. The Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire was internally consistent and converged with other known body image indices. Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire scores also correlated with Skindex-16 scores, confirming that quality of life and body image are related psychosocial constructs. The Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire appears to be an accurate instrument that can assess appearance-related concern and impairment in patients with acne vulgaris. Limitations include a small sample size and the cross-sectional design.
社会心理结局指标旨在从患者角度审视痤疮问题，在皮肤病学研究中愈发重要。其中一项指标是身体意象障碍问卷。作者的主要目的是确定身体意象障碍问卷在寻常痤疮患者中的效度和内部一致性。次要目的是研究身体意象障碍与生活质量之间的关系。这项横断面调查纳入了52名连续就诊于皮肤科门诊的痤疮患者。受试者完成了身体意象障碍问卷、皮肤病生活质量指数-16（Skindex-16）以及其他身体意象和社会心理功能指标。对痤疮进行了客观评估。身体意象障碍问卷具有内部一致性，且与其他已知的身体意象指标相符。身体意象障碍问卷得分也与Skindex-16得分相关，证实生活质量和身体意象是相关的社会心理结构。身体意象障碍问卷似乎是一种能够评估寻常痤疮患者外貌相关担忧和损害的准确工具。局限性包括样本量小和横断面设计。
