Abstract

Objective: Acne vulgaris is a chronic and common disease among adolescents. The effects of acne vulgaris on the caregiver's quality of life and its relationship to patient's quality of life have been seldom studied. This study aims to investigate impact of adolescent acne vulgaris on the patients' and their caregivers' quality of life and to evaluate the relationship between these two variables.

Methods: Acne vulgaris patients aged between 10 and 18 years and their caregivers were included in this prospective study. CDLQI (Children Dermatologic Quality of Life Index) and DFIS (Dermatological Family Impact Scale) questionnaires were used to assess the impact of acne vulgaris on the quality of life of patients and caregivers. SPSS version 21 was used for the statistical analysis; Spearman correlation test and Mann Whitney U test were used.

Results: This study has shown a significant correlation between DFIS and CDLQI, between severity of acne and CDLQI, and between the previous use of systemic antibiotics and DFIS. There is no relationship of age, sex, disease duration, number of siblings, amount of money spent and previous treatment modalities to CDLQI. There is no relationship between age, sex, acne severity, disease duration, number of children and amount of money spent on DFIS.

Conclusion: Acne vulgaris not only has an impact on the patient's quality of life but also on the caregiver's quality of life, which in turn affects the patient's quality of life.

青少年寻常性痤疮对CDLQI和DFIS的影响：取决于什么？

目的：寻常痤疮是青少年常见病。寻常痤疮对护理者生活质量的影响及其与患者生活质量的关系研究甚少。本研究旨在探讨青少年寻常痤疮对患者及其照顾者生活质量的影响，并评估两者之间的关系。方法：对10 ~ 18岁的寻常性痤疮患者及其护理人员进行前瞻性研究。采用儿童皮肤生活质量指数（CDLQI）和皮肤家庭影响量表（DFIS）问卷评估寻常痤疮对患者和护理者生活质量的影响。采用SPSS 21版进行统计分析；采用Spearman相关检验和Mann Whitney U检验。结果：本研究显示DFIS与CDLQI、痤疮严重程度与CDLQI、既往使用全身抗生素与DFIS之间存在显著相关性。年龄、性别、病程、兄弟姐妹数、花费金额和既往治疗方式与CDLQI没有关系。年龄、性别、痤疮严重程度、疾病持续时间、子女数量和用于DFIS的金额之间没有关系。结论：寻常痤疮不仅会影响患者的生活质量，还会影响护理者的生活质量，进而影响患者的生活质量。
