摘要
In recent years quality of life has been studied in a growing number of different dermatological diseases. Internationally validated questionnaires such the RAND-36 (identical to the SF-36) do not contain enough questions which are relevant for skin diseases. There is no publication on quality of life issues in occupational skin diseases, and only one short report gives data on quality of life in hand eczema. The widely used skin specific instrument DLQI has only 2 questions that indirectly refer to employment issues. A quality of life questionnaire on occupational skin diseases (mostly hand eczema) should ideally include questions on work-related impairment of both physical functioning and interaction with colleagues.
