AKNE VULGARİS HASTALARINDA, AKNENİN ŞİDDETİ VE DEMOGRAFİK BİLGİLERİNE GÖRE STİGMATİZASYONUN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Amaç: Deri hastalıkları, yerleşimine göre hem görünür alanda, hemde gizli lokalizasyonda, yerle- şim ile ilişkili olarak stigmatizasyona (damgalanma duygusu) neden olabilir ve hastanın yaşamında, büyük olumsuzlara yol açabilir. Bu çalışmada sıklıkla peripuberte döneminde ortaya çıkan akne vulgaris hastalığında, cinsiyet, eğitim durumu ve hastalığın şiddetine göre stigmatizasyonu değer- lendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuran 18-35 yaş aralığında, akne vulgaris hasta- larında stigmatizasyon anketi doldurulması istendi. Akne skorlaması yapıldı ve kaydedildi. Veriler SPSS 20.00 programı ile kaydedildi. p
