Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Psychosocial impact of skin conditions

Background:

  • Stigmatization, the assignment of negative perceptions due to perceived differences, significantly impacts patients with skin conditions.
  • Social rejection stemming from skin issues negatively influences personal and social well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and categorize instruments for measuring stigmatization levels in dermatological patients.
  • To identify effective tools for assessing the psychosocial impact of skin diseases.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed up to November 2016.
  • Keywords included "stigmatization," "skin," "dermatology," specific skin conditions, and "measurement."
  • 548 articles were initially identified, with 58 selected for methodological review.

Main Results:

  • Numerous questionnaires exist to measure stigmatization in patients with skin problems.
  • Instruments were categorized into dermatology-specific (6) and dermatosis/disease-specific (8) types.
  • Both types of instruments have been utilized in various research studies.

Conclusions:

  • Dermatology-specific instruments are recommended for comparing stigmatization across diverse skin conditions.
  • These tools can serve as a primary method for studying stigmatization in specific skin diseases.
  • Supplementing with disease-specific instruments allows for deeper analysis of quality of life and stigmatization.
