The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of underlying emotional disorders and associated risk factors in patients with facial dermatoses in the dermatology outpatient department.
All patients with facial dermatoses attending our dermatology clinic from January 2023 to January 2024 were included in the retrospective study. Basic demographic data were collected. All patients were screened for emotional disorders using a simple questionnaire called the Huaxi Emotional-Distress Index (HEI) at the time of consultation. Bivariate analysis and logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with HEI scores greater than 8.
Two hundred and twelve patients were included in the study including 125 males and 87 females. Sixty patients (28.3%) had a HEI score of > 8. The causes of emotional disorders in patients with facial dermatoses were age, gender and number of visits. After logistic regression analysis, younger age and more number of visits were risk factors for emotional disorders.
A high percentage of patients with facial dermatoses in dermatology outpatient department have emotional disorders. Dermatologists need to focus on patients who are at risk of developing emotional disorders, especially younger patients with more number of visits.
本研究旨在确定皮肤科门诊面部皮肤病患者潜在情绪障碍的患病率及相关危险因素。
纳入2023年1月至2024年1月在我院皮肤科门诊就诊的所有面部皮肤病患者进行回顾性研究。收集基本人口统计学数据。所有患者在就诊时使用一种名为华西情绪困扰指数（HEI）的简单问卷进行情绪障碍筛查。采用双变量分析和逻辑回归来确定与HEI评分大于8相关的因素。
本研究共纳入212例患者，其中男性125例，女性87例。60例患者（28.3%）的HEI评分>8。面部皮肤病患者情绪障碍的原因是年龄、性别和就诊次数。经逻辑回归分析，年龄较小和就诊次数较多是情绪障碍的危险因素。
皮肤科门诊中相当比例的面部皮肤病患者存在情绪障碍。皮肤科医生需要关注有发生情绪障碍风险的患者，尤其是就诊次数较多的年轻患者。
