Abstract
Background: This study examined the associations between coping strategies and quality of life in psoriasis patients.
Subjects and methods: A total of 150 psoriasis patients (M = 74, F = 76) participated in this study. The Dermatology Life Quality Index, the Coping Style Scale, and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire were administered to participants.
Main findings: A negative association was found between problem-focused coping and quality of life. Additionally, there was a significant positive relationship between emotion-focused coping and quality of life. The results also revealed that psoriasis patients' ability to regulate their emotions may differ significantly by gender.
Conclusion: The study's findings suggest that emotion regulation reappraisal moderates the relationship between coping strategies and quality of life among psoriasis patients.
