The DISABKIDS questionnaires (1) were devel- oped in 2006 simultaneously in seven European countries, namely Germany, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, France, Greece, Sweden and Austria. They include a set of developmentally ap- propriate and cross-culturally comparable ques- tionnaires for assessing health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in children/adolescents between 8 and 18 years of age.

Little is known about the quality of life (QoL) of adults with cerebral palsy (CP). This systematic review aimed to examine the extent to which methodological best practices have been applied to achieve valid and informative QoL assessments for this population.

Genital psoriasis affects 2-5% of psoriasis patients; generalised plaque or intertriginous psoriasis also affects the genital area in 29-40% of cases. Anogenital psoriasis has been associated with significant quality of life impairments, but little is known about specific patient needs/treatment goals. This study aimed to examine the overall and sex-related disease burden, patient needs and treatment benefits in patients with anogenital psoriasis, compared to patients with psoriasis not affecting the anal/genital areas.

In pediatric settings, a valid and reliable assessment of negative and positive dimensions of caregiving can inform intervention processes and improve parent–child adaptation outcomes. While caregiving is a normative component of parenting, the experience can be quantitatively and/or qualitatively different for parents of children with a chronic health condition. The aim of this study was to systematically examine the psychometric properties of the “Revised Burden Measure” in a sample of parents of children with and without chronic health conditions. The “Revised Burden Measure” and self-reported measures of quality of life and mental health were administered to a sample of parents who had children with (n=277) or without (n=117) chronic health conditions.

Establishing romantic relationships involving cohabitation and/or sexual intercourse is an overriding task for many people during emerging adulthood, i.e. from their late teens through the twenties. The diagnosis of anogenital psoriasis may hinder social/intimate relationships, resulting in higher disease burden in this age group.

Atopic eczema (AE) is a common and burdensome chronic skin disease. Clinical guidelines suggest an evidence-based, personalized and stepwise treatment approach. Only few studies have so far focused on the specific patient needs in treatment.

Hair loss is a symptom that can cause stigmatization and severe impairment of quality of life. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the literature on stigmatization of hair loss. Using predefined MeSH terms and keywords, a systematic search was performed in the databases MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, PsycINFO and PsycNET.

Perception of psoriasis in the general population is characterized by knowledge deficits and prejudice against those affected. The extent and possible predictors of stigmatizing attitudes remain unclear.

People with chronic wounds perceive an impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). For the assessment of HRQoL, valid instruments are needed. Therefore, the Wound-QoL questionnaire was originally developed and psychometrically validated for use in Ger- many. As the Wound-QoL is to be used in numerous countries, international versions are required. Therefore, this study aimed to psychometrically validate the U.S. English Wound-QoL version. Upon translation into U.S. English, psychometric testing was per- formed based on cross-sectional data deriving from the U.S. Wound Registry.
