Objectives: The purpose of our study was to compare healthy lifestyle behaviors between psoriasis patients and healthy controls. Methods: This case–control study included 80 psoriasis patients and 80 sex- and age- matched healthy controls aged over 18. Participants completed the socio-demographic data form and the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II). The HPLP-II consists of 52 items and measures six components of health-promoting behavior outcomes: Nutrition, physical activity, health responsibility, spiritual growth, interpersonal relations, and stress management. Higher scores show that the individual applies the specified health behaviors at a high level. Results: HPLP-II total scores were 128.3±21.1 in patient group and 132.5±22.3 in control group. Based on the scores, psoriasis patients showed a moderate level of health-promoting lifestyle, while controls showed a good level of health-promoting lifestyle. Spiritual growth score of patients (mean±SD = 25.6±4.9) was statistically lower than the controls (mean±SD = 27.3±4.5) (p=0.040). In addition, spiritual growth score and disease duration were negatively correlated in the patient group (r=–0.287, p=0.01). Furthermore, nutrition score of those with additional comorbidity was significantly higher than those with psoriasis alone in patient group (p=0.002). Conclusion: This is the first study to compare healthy lifestyle behaviors of psoriasis patients and healthy volunteers in Turkish population. The task of dermatologists is not only the medical treatment of psoriasis lesions but also questioning patients’ lifestyle behaviors and supporting the development of healthy behaviors in patients.
Purpose: Our study aims to compare healthy lifestyle behaviors between patients with psoriasis and a healthy control group. Method: This case control study included 80 healthy controls combined with 80 patients with psoriasis over the age of 18 and gender and age. Participants were filled in the social and demographic data collection form and the "Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale-II (SYBDÖ-II)" form. SYBDÖ-II consists of article 52 and measures the six components of the health-developing behavior results: nutrition, physical activity, health responsibility, spiritual growth, interpersonal relationships and stress management. High scores indicate that a person applies the specified health behavior at a high level. Results: The total score of SYBDÖ-II was 128.3 ± 21.1 in the patient group and 132,5 ± 22.3 in the control group. According to the scores, psoriasis patients had a lifestyle that improved health at a medium level, while controllers had a lifestyle that improved health at a good level. On the other hand, the patient’s mental development scores (medium ± SD = 25.6 ± 4.9) were statistically lower than the controls (medium ± SD = 27.3 ± 4.5) (p = 0.040). In addition, with the mental development score in the patient group, the duration of the disease was correlated in a negative direction (r = -0,287, p = 0,01). In addition, the nutritional score of those with additional comorbidity in the patient group was significantly higher compared to those with only psoriasis (p=0,002). This study is the first study comparing the behavior of healthy volunteers in the Turkish society with patients with psoriasis. The task of dermatologists is not only medical treatment of psoriasis lesions; it is also to question the behavior of the patient’s lifestyle and to support the development of healthy behaviors in the patient.
