    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2008) Dogramaci, Asena Cigem; Havlucu, Deniz Yurtman; Savas, Nazan
    Objective: Seborrheic dermatitis is a common disease characterized by the presence of erythematous plaques with oily-yellow desquamation. The chronic nature of disease, periods of remission and exacerbation and lack of efficient treatment modalities may cause impairment of quality of life of the patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of seborrheic dermatitis on the quality of life of the patients. Methods: Sixty-five patients with seborrheic dermatitis were enrolled the study. Patients were asked to fill HAD, Skindex-29 and DLQI. Kolmogorov Smirnov, correlation, chi square and Kruskal Wallis were used in statistical analyses. All analyses were performed using SPSS for Windows v 11.5. Results: DLQI scores were moderately positive correlated with HAD-A and HAD-D scores, while strongly positive correlated with Skindex-29 scores. Seborrheic dermatitis negatively impact emotional condition of patients (p<0.05). Conclusion: Seborrheic dermatitis negatively affects quality of life, and the greater the impairment of quality of life due to seborrheic dermatitis, the greater the level of anxiety and depression.

    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2009) Dogramaci, Asena Cigdem; Havlucu, Deniz Yurtman; Inandi, Tacettin; Balkrishnan, Rajesh
    Objectives: In this study, the objective was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the melasma quality of life questionnaire (MelasQoL-Tr) for melasma patients. Methods: The study included 114 melasma patients. The melasma area and severity index (MASI), MelasQoL-Tr and the Turkish short version of the QoL assessment instrument from the World Health Organization (WHOQOL-BREF) were used to assess melasma severity and QoL at baseline. The reliability and validity of MelasQoL-Tr were computed. Results: The mean age of the patients in the study was 31.8 7.3 years. The internal consistency of the scale (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) was 0.88. The MelasQoL-Tr score was 29.9 14.6 (range 10-66). The total WHOQOL-BREF score was 54.8 9.8. The comparison of MelasQoL-Tr and WHOQOL-BREF questionnaires showed an inverse significant correlation on total scores, which indicated a sufficient convergent validity. According to the subscale of WHOQOL-BREF, the inverse correlation was most significant between the MelasQoL-Tr score and psychological domain and less significant between the MelasQoL-Tr score and environmental domain. The MelasQoL-Tr score and MASI were significantly correlated. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the MelasQoL was valid and reliable for evaluating the quality of life of Turkish melasma patients.
