Abstract

Background: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a dermatosis with a significant psychological component. Only a few studies have assessed the quality of life (QoL) and perceived stress in CSU patients.

Objectives: To evaluate the QoL and perceived stress in patients with CSU.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was done on 54 patients of CSU attending the Urticaria clinic of the Dermatology department in a tertiary care postgraduate teaching hospital in North Kerala. QoL in chronic urticaria was assessed using the Chronic Urticaria-Quality of Life (CU-QoL) questionnaire and perceived stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS).

Results: The mean scores of CU-QoL and PSS were 55.78 and 16.31, respectively. Out of 54 patients, 26 (48.1%) had mild impairment, 26 (48.1%) had moderate impairment, and 2 (3.7%) had severe impairment of QoL. Low stress was seen in 20 (37%) patients, moderate stress in 28 (51.9%), and six (11.1%) patients had high stress.

Conclusion: This study shows that more than half of the patients with CSU had moderate to severe impairment of QoL and had moderate to severe stress.

慢性自发性荨麻疹患者的生活质量和感知压力：计算负担。

背景：慢性自发性荨麻疹（CSU）是一种具有重要心理因素的皮肤病。只有少数研究对 CSU 患者的生活质量（QoL）和感知压力进行了评估：评估 CSU 患者的生活质量和感知压力：对北喀拉拉邦一家三级护理研究生教学医院皮肤科荨麻疹门诊的 54 名 CSU 患者进行了横断面研究。研究使用慢性荨麻疹-生活质量（CU-QoL）问卷对慢性荨麻疹患者的生活质量进行了评估，并使用感知压力量表（PSS）对感知压力进行了评估：结果：CU-QoL 和 PSS 的平均得分分别为 55.78 分和 16.31 分。在 54 名患者中，26 人（48.1%）的 QoL 受到轻度损害，26 人（48.1%）的 QoL 受到中度损害，2 人（3.7%）的 QoL 受到重度损害。20（37%）名患者压力较小，28（51.9%）名患者压力中等，6（11.1%）名患者压力较大：本研究表明，半数以上的 CSU 患者存在中度至重度的 QoL 损伤，并有中度至重度的压力。
