| Description | The impact of skin disease on the quality of life (QoL) of patients is being examined in detail, but very little is known about the quality of life of family members and partners. Family members are often involved in care-giving and are negatively affected in many ways by a patient's skin condition. The Family Dermatology Life Quality Index was created to measure the impact of skin disease on the QoL of the family member or partner objectively. This questionnaire did not exist in our language yet. That's why we have made a validated Czech translation. The newly validated Czech version is fully understandable and clear for family members and partners of patients with skin disease. The results can be easily interpreted and suitable for both research and clinical practice. Patients' family members, especially the primary caregi-vers. need to be regarded as active participants in healthcare because of wide negative social impact of skin diseases. |
