Rosacea is a skin disease characterized by facial erythema and inflammatory pustules that may result in emotional distress. Social Phobia and Self-Esteem appear to be linked to the development of higher levels of distress in dermatological conditions, while Trait Emotional Intelligence (Trait EI) has been consistently associated with greater levels of adaptation to one's chronic condition. Hence, it seems extremely relevant to observe the interplay between these dimensions in the context of Rosacea. The goal of the current study is to test the hypothesis that an association between Trait EI and General Distress, in individuals with Rosacea would be mediated by Self-Esteem and Social Phobia.
Questionnaires were administered to 224 individuals suffering from Rosacea to assess Trait EI, Social Phobia, Self-Esteem, and General Distress.
Results highlighted that Trait EI was positively related to Self-Esteem and negatively related to Social Phobia and General Distress. In addition, both Self-Esteem and Social Phobia showed a mediating role in the relationship between Trait EI and General Distress.
The main limitations of this work consist in the cross-sectional nature of the data, the small number of participants, also it was not possible to differentiate the participants according to the type of rosacea.
These results emphasize how individuals with Rosacea may be vulnerable to internalizing states and how high levels of Trait EI may constitute a protective factor for the onset of distressing states and it would be useful to create programs aimed at fostering Trait EI in Rosacea sufferers.
酒渣鼻是一种以面部红斑和炎性脓疱为特征的皮肤病，可能导致情绪困扰。社交恐惧症和自尊似乎与皮肤病中更高水平的困扰发展有关，而特质情绪智力（特质EI）一直与对慢性病的更高适应水平相关。因此，在酒渣鼻的背景下观察这些维度之间的相互作用似乎极为相关。本研究的目的是检验以下假设：在酒渣鼻患者中，特质EI与一般困扰之间的关联将由自尊和社交恐惧症介导。
对224名酒渣鼻患者进行问卷调查，以评估特质EI、社交恐惧症、自尊和一般困扰。
结果表明，特质EI与自尊呈正相关，与社交恐惧症和一般困扰呈负相关。此外，自尊和社交恐惧症在特质EI与一般困扰的关系中均起中介作用。
这项工作的主要局限性在于数据的横断面性质、参与者数量少，而且无法根据酒渣鼻的类型对参与者进行区分。
这些结果强调了酒渣鼻患者如何可能易受内化状态的影响，以及高水平的特质EI如何可能构成困扰状态发作的保护因素，并且创建旨在提高酒渣鼻患者特质EI的项目将是有用的。
