- Psychological interventions for the treatment of patients with chronic dermatoses: a systematic literature reviewPublication . Almeida, Vera; Ferreira, Ângela; Veloso, Ana; Rocha, Rita; Leite, Ângela; Teixeira, AnaObjectives: Chronic dermatoses are extremely prevalent and can manifest in various forms across genders and ages. Faced with the symptoms experienced by these conditions and the patient’s perception of the disease and its manifestation, it often leads to isolation and difficulty in emotional regulation. All these symptoms are associated with low quality of life, resulting in depressive and anxious symptomatology. Methods: This systematic literature review aims to study psychosocial interventions with an impact on the treatment of patients with chronic dermatoses. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed, guiding a systematic search across PubMed, Google Scholar, and PsycNet databases. The considered studies reported the impact of interventions when applied to patients with chronic dermatoses. All the studies found were published in peer-reviewed journals. Results: The analysis revealed that interventions based on mindfulness, self-compassion, and self-help showed promise, with several studies reporting reductions in disease-related suffering and improvements in quality of life. However, the results were heterogeneous, with some interventions showing no significant benefit over control conditions for specific outcomes like anxiety or appearance-related distress. Conclusions: The development of research lines to enhance knowledge in this field will allow for significant improvements in therapeutic care for patients with chronic dermatoses, aiming to support professionals in the development of integrative therapeutic strategies for these patients in their clinical practice.

- The mediator role of body image-related cognitive fusion in the relationship between disease severity perception, acceptance and psoriasis disabilityPublication . Almeida, Vera; Leite, Ângela; Constante, Diana; Correia, Rita; Almeida, Isabel Filipa; Teixeira, Maribel; Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Sousa, Hélder Fernando Pedrosa e; Dinis, Maria Alzira Pimenta; Teixeira, AnaPsoriasis is a long-term skin disorder without a cure, whose patients are particularly susceptible to mental health diseases. Using a sample of patients diagnosed with psoriasis, this study aimed to: (1) identify the clinical and positive psychological variables that contribute the most to psoriasis disability and (2) assess the mediator role of body image-related cognitive fusion in the relation between disease severity perception and acceptance and self-compassion, on one hand, and psoriasis disability on the other. This is an initial cross-sectional exploratory study, with 75 patients diagnosed with psoriasis (males 52%; mean age 54.99 ± 13.72) answering a sociodemographic and a clinical questionnaire, the Psoriasis Disability Index (PDI), the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire-Body Image (CFQ-BI), the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), and the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to characterize and assess the measures and the final model used. Through path analysis and a hierarchical multiple linear regression, it was found that the variables that significantly contributed to psoriasis disability were years of education, impact on social life and body image, explaining 70% of the variance. Body image-related cognitive fusion was a significant mediator in the relationship between disease severity and acceptance, and psoriasis disability. The implications of this study are considered to be extremely relevant, since it will allow additional information to be provided to psoriasis patients, appropriated to their educational level, aiming to reduce distorted perceptions of disease severity and intervene in the ability to accept this specific and important chronic health condition.
