Previous research indicates that psoriasis has an impact on early retirement, sick leave days and reduced work performance.
To evaluate the disadvantages at work caused by psoriasis.
The sample was based on patients visiting the dermatology outpatient clinic in Turku University Hospital. 262 returned a mailed questionnaire. The subjects were asked how many hours they were on a sick leave (absenteeism) and working while sick (presenteeism) due to psoriasis and other health reasons.
Of the retired, 17.0% felt they were retired due to psoriasis. Those in the active work force reported on average 4.5 hours absenteeism and 8.3 hours of presenteeism due to psoriasis during the last 4 weeks. Psoriasis caused 27.0% of the total absenteeism and 39.0% of presenteeism. More than a quarter (28.9%) had been forced to modify their work due to psoriasis, most frequently to make the work less irritating for the skin.
Psoriasis has a negative effect on patients' work in many ways, causing early retirement from work, sick leave days, change of occupation and work modifications.
先前的研究表明，银屑病会对提前退休、病假天数和工作表现产生影响。
评估银屑病给工作带来的不利影响。
该样本基于在图尔库大学医院皮肤科门诊就诊的患者。共邮寄了 262 份问卷，其中 262 份被回收。要求受试者因银屑病和其他健康原因而请病假（旷工）和带病工作（出勤）的时间。
在退休人员中，17.0%的人认为自己是因银屑病而退休。在职人员报告称，在过去 4 周内，平均因银屑病请病假 4.5 小时，带病工作 8.3 小时。银屑病导致总旷工的 27.0%和出勤的 39.0%。超过四分之一（28.9%）的人因银屑病被迫改变工作，最常见的是减少皮肤刺激。
银屑病以多种方式对患者的工作产生负面影响，导致提前退休、病假天数增加、职业变化和工作调整。
