This study aimed to evaluate the effects of vulvar dermatoses (VD) and vulvar infections (VE) on anxiety, depression scores, general, and dermatological quality of life (QOL) of women.
We conducted a cross-sectional survey on patients diagnosed with VD and VE. All patients were assessed using a sociodemographic form, Skindex-29 scale, World Health Organization QOL (WHOQOL) BREF scale, Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAM-A), Hamilton depression rating scale (HAM-D).
HAM-A score was significantly higher in the VD group than in the control group. Based on age groups, all subscales of Skindex-29 were found to be higher in women > 50 years. For women with severe pruritus, the symptom subscale was higher in patients with skin involvement and the function and emotion subscales were higher in patients with and emotion subscales were higher in patients with mucosal involvement.
We found that VD was particularly significantly associated with decreased QOL.
本研究旨在评估外阴皮肤病(VD)和外阴感染(VE)对女性焦虑、抑郁评分、总体及皮肤病生活质量(QOL)的影响。
我们对诊断为VD和VE的患者进行了横断面调查。所有患者均使用社会人口学表格、Skindex - 29量表、世界卫生组织生活质量(WHOQOL)简表、汉密尔顿焦虑评定量表(HAM - A)、汉密尔顿抑郁评定量表(HAM - D)进行评估。
VD组的HAM - A评分显著高于对照组。按年龄组划分,发现Skindex - 29的所有子量表在50岁以上女性中更高。对于有严重瘙痒的女性,皮肤受累患者的症状子量表更高,黏膜受累患者的功能和情感子量表更高。
我们发现VD与生活质量下降尤其显著相关。
