Psoriasis is one of the most common dermatological diseases. It is characterized by a chronic course with periods of exacerbations and remissions. The recurrent nature of the disease and the influence of environmental factors on its course require the patients not only to be treated but also to have knowledge of prophylaxis and proper skin care.
Obtaining information on the level of knowledge of patients suffering from psoriasis in the field of triggering factors and proper skin care.
A total of 130 patients with psoriasis participated in the study. The research tool was the author's questionnaire addressed to patients.
Research has shown that the main source of knowledge for people with psoriasis was the Internet (85%). Only 17% obtained information about the disease from medical personnel. The respondents were aware of the negative impact of only some environmental factors, such as: injuries (63%), stimulants (77%), stress (95%), and infections (69%). Most subjects attributed the therapeutic effect to brine baths (74%). Usually the patients were aware of the oiling (85%) and moisturizing (33%) effects of emollients on psoriatic lesions. Only 46% of the respondents obtained a positive test result. Demographic variables correlated with the level of knowledge.
The knowledge of psoriasis patients about exacerbating factors and proper skin care is insufficient.
银屑病是最常见的皮肤病之一。其特点是病程呈慢性，有加重期和缓解期。该疾病的复发性以及环境因素对其病程的影响要求患者不仅要接受治疗，还要了解预防措施和正确的皮肤护理知识。
获取银屑病患者在触发因素和正确皮肤护理领域的知识水平信息。
共有130名银屑病患者参与了该研究。研究工具是作者发给患者的问卷。
研究表明，银屑病患者的主要知识来源是互联网（85%）。只有17%的患者从医务人员那里获得了有关该疾病的信息。受访者仅了解某些环境因素的负面影响，例如：外伤（63%）、刺激物（77%）、压力（95%）和感染（69%）。大多数受试者将治疗效果归因于盐水浴（74%）。通常患者了解润肤剂对银屑病皮损的滋润（85%）和保湿（33%）作用。只有46%的受访者检测结果呈阳性。人口统计学变量与知识水平相关。
银屑病患者对加重因素和正确皮肤护理的知识不足。
