abstract = {The aim of this study was to analyse the levels of anxiety,
depression, and quality of life of individuals living
with acne patients (cohabitants). The study included
patients, cohabitants, and controls; a total of 204 participants.
Patients’ health-related quality of life was
measured with the Dermatology Life Quality Index
(DLQI), while cohabitants’ quality of life was measured
with the Family Dermatology Life Quality Index
(FDLQI). The psychological state of all participants
was measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression
Scale (HADS). Presence of acne impaired the quality
of life of 89.4% of the cohabitants. The FDLQI scores
of cohabitants were significantly associated with
the DLQI scores of the patients (rp = 0.294; p = 0.044).
Anxiety and depression levels in cohabitants were
significantly
higher than in controls (p < 0.01). In conclusion,
acne may have a negative impact on quality of
life and psychological well-being of patients and their
cohabitants.},
