Abstract
Many prior research has identified characteristics influencing health-related quality of life for a specific skin illness. Although little is available about the generalized elements that influence the quality of life throughout skin conditions. The goal of the present research was to explore the overall quality of life of as well as determine characteristics associated with substantially decreased QoL among individuals with skin disorders and relevant nurse interventions. The appearance of the outer layer of the skin, along with its connective tissues, not just indicates the overall state of the person's body; however, it also has an impact on a person's self-confidence and self-image, as well as how others see them. To investigate the standards of living in skin disorders as evaluated by the patients and their caretakers, particularly nurses. Most patients and specialists believe that individuals with skin illnesses have no ability to cope successfully with their health condition because they have a negative attitude towards it. The type of skin condition affects the quality of life of people living with skin diseases. Skin diseases can have an extensive spectrum of consequences for quality of life, but psychological stress is especially significant.
With regard to skin disease severity, the present research found that additional ongoing medical conditions and lengthy duration were associated with severely decreased health-related quality of life for individuals with skin diseases. This highlights the importance of raising awareness about treating skin conditions as chronic. It also recommends that healthcare management choices should take into account quality of life improvement, particularly emotional states.
