Abstract

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT Background: A multi-factorial inflammatory condition that is common in dermatology is psoriasis. Our goal was to comprehend how psoriasis sufferers felt about their quality of life and to explore ways to make it better. Methods: This qualitative study involved 81 psoriasis patients who were treated as outpatients at the STNM Hospital in Sikkim, India. The Discourse of the Collective Subject approach was used to transcribe and analyse the interviews (DCS). Results: Well-being, happiness, leisure, wholesome eating, and financial security were all associated with high quality of life. However, their perspectives were significantly impacted by sickness symptoms, social and clothing restrictions, limitations on their professional pursuits, and the lack of a remedy. Increased public knowledge, stress reduction, disease acceptance, and interdisciplinary care were among the suggested changes. Conclusion: The participants' interpretations of quality of life are individualized, complex, based on their personal experiences, and connected to the progression of health and sickness. Improvements in QoL in psoriasis can be attributed to public health policies that support lowering social stigma and stress as well as interdisciplinary approaches to care.
