Abstract | Objectives: This study aimed to assess the self-care practices of patients with psoriasis and factors affecting them. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 110 adult patients with confirmed diagnosis of psoriasis. Each patient underwent a personal structured interview with the physician using two predetermined questionnaires, one for assessing self-care practices and another for evaluating patients' knowledge of their disease and sociodemographic and clinical features. Results: Most studied patients had poor level of self-care practices and knowledge. Patients' level of self-care was positively associated with the level of the knowledge of their disease. Poor level of self-care practice was significantly associated with low level of education, disease severity, and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score. Conclusion: Patients with low level of education or disease knowledge will mostly have poor self-care behavior. |
