Psoriasis: the burden of disease and treatment
1United Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust.
Abstract:
We've all met them: the patient with chronic disease that simply will not help themselves. Why don't they listen to us? Why, when it's clear they understand the principles, do they seem to do everything in their power to make life difficult for themselves-and, in turn, for us? Of course, as enlightened nurses we take the trouble to understand the individual, and learn that their failure to follow a treatment programme is connected to their feelings about their disease and their body. If they ignore the answer they are also ignoring the problem and, in some way, they are taking control of their situation, making choices and asserting themselves.
