Development of Measurement Tools to Assess Cumulative Life Course Impairment in Patients with Chronic Skin Diseases

C.C. Braren-von Stülpnagel, M. Augustin, L. Westphal, R. Sommer

Patients with chronic skin diseases suffer from physical, psychological, emotional and social impairments. The overall burden has significant impact on patients' life, contributing to irreversible damage across many domains, known as cumulative life course impairment (CLCI). The aim of this project was to develop instruments which (a) measure persisting CLCI and (b) identify patients at risk for developing future CLCI.

A Comparative Analysis of the Predictors, Extent and Impacts of Self-stigma in Patients with Psoriasis and Atopic Dermatitis

S. Schlachter, R. Sommer, M. Augustin, A. Tsianakas, L. Westphal

The impact of dermatological diseases goes beyond symptoms and often includes psychosocial burden. Self-stigmatization plays a key role in this relationship and was compared in patients with psoriasis and atopic dermatitis to evaluate the validity of cross-disease stigmatization models. In total, 101 patients per indication were included in this cross-sectional study. Besides sociodemographic and clinical data, patient-reported outcome measures relating to self-stigmatization, depression, anxiety, and quality of life were compared across groups. Sociodemographic and clinical factors were tested for their moderating effects between self-stigmatization and quality of life.
