Because of the social and psychologic effects of psoriasis, many patients with the disease experience considerable emotional stress which in tum can aggravate the disease. This study was undertaken to determine the usefulness of group therapy in helping psoriasis patients cope with their condition.
A structured program consisting of seven sessions was carried out with 10 psoriasis patients under the guidance of a social worker. The program covered knowledge of psoriasis, feelings of acceptance, stress management, and coping with daily living. An evaluation was carried out at the end of the program.
Most patients found that the program enhanced their knowledge of psoriasis and helped them to cope better, and that they also learned from each other how to handle stress and gained self-confidence.
Group therapy is a useful adjuvant therapy for psoriasis patients in coping with their illness.
由于银屑病的社会和心理影响，许多银屑病患者承受着相当大的情绪压力，而这种压力反过来又会加重病情。本研究旨在确定团体治疗在帮助银屑病患者应对病情方面的有效性。
在一名社会工作者的指导下，对10名银屑病患者开展了一个由七个环节组成的结构化项目。该项目涵盖了银屑病知识、接纳感、压力管理以及日常生活应对等方面。在项目结束时进行了评估。
大多数患者发现该项目增强了他们对银屑病的了解，帮助他们更好地应对病情，并且他们还相互学习了如何应对压力并获得了自信。
团体治疗是银屑病患者应对疾病的一种有用的辅助治疗方法。
