Acne vulgaris and vitiligo are skin disorders that can have a negative impact on a person's self-esteem and quality of life (QoL). The purpose of this study is to look into the impact of acne and vitiligo on the self-esteem and QoL of the patient population in Madinah, Saudi Arabia.
A cross-sectional survey of 171 Saudi adults (141 individuals with acne vulgaris (9.4%) and 30 with vitiligo (1.5%) between the ages of 16 and 35 was conducted in Madinah. A self-reported questionnaire with four domains was used: socio-demographic data, lifestyle and coexisting pathologic factors or diseases, Rosenberg's self-esteem scale, and the dermatology life quality index (DLQI).
Acne patients had a mean total score of 20.3 on the self-esteem scale, with 5% (n = 7) having low self-esteem, 48.2% (n = 68) having medium self-esteem, and 46.8% (n = 66) having high self-esteem. Females had higher self-esteem (75.29) than males (56.95). The mean DLQI score for acne patients was 5.4, with 30.5% (n = 47) unaffected, 29.1% (n = 45) mildly affected, 23.4% (n = 35) moderately affected, 5.6% (n = 10) severely affected, and 1.4% (n = 4) severely affected. Vitiligo patients had a mean self-esteem scale score of 13.7, with 63.3% (n = 19) having low self-esteem, 30% (n = 9) having medium self-esteem, and 6.7% (n = 2) having high self-esteem. The mean DLQI was 15.2, with 6.7% (n = 2) reporting that vitiligo had no effect on their lives, 10% (n = 3) reporting a moderate effect, 66.7% (n = 20) reporting a severe effect, and 16.7% (n = 5) reporting a very severe effect.
Our research confirms that acne vulgaris and vitiligo have a negative impact on self-esteem and quality of life. Along with medical treatment, effective treatment and psychological improvement of the patient should be prioritized.
寻常痤疮和白癜风是会对人的自尊和生活质量（QoL）产生负面影响的皮肤疾病。本研究的目的是探究痤疮和白癜风对沙特阿拉伯麦地那患者群体自尊和生活质量的影响。
在麦地那对171名沙特成年人（141名寻常痤疮患者（9.4%）和30名白癜风患者（1.5%））进行了横断面调查，年龄在16至35岁之间。使用了一份包含四个领域的自填问卷：社会人口统计学数据、生活方式以及并存的病理因素或疾病、罗森伯格自尊量表和皮肤病生活质量指数（DLQI）。
痤疮患者自尊量表的平均总分是20.3，其中5%（n = 7）自尊水平低，48.2%（n = 68）自尊水平中等，46.8%（n = 66）自尊水平高。女性的自尊水平（75.29）高于男性（56.95）。痤疮患者的平均DLQI得分为5.4，其中30.5%（n = 47）未受影响，29.1%（n = 45）轻度受影响，23.4%（n = 35）中度受影响，5.6%（n = 10）重度受影响，1.4%（n = 4）极重度受影响。白癜风患者自尊量表的平均得分是13.7，其中63.3%（n = 19）自尊水平低，30%（n = 9）自尊水平中等，6.7%（n = 2）自尊水平高。平均DLQI为15.2，其中6.7%（n = 2）报告白癜风对其生活无影响，10%（n = 3）报告有中度影响，66.7%（n = 20）报告有重度影响，16.7%（n = 5）报告有极重度影响。
我们的研究证实寻常痤疮和白癜风会对自尊和生活质量产生负面影响。除了药物治疗外，还应优先对患者进行有效治疗和心理改善。
