Abstract

Akne su kronična upalna bolest pilosebacealne jedinice. One mogu značajno narušiti različite aspekte kvalitete života osoba oboljelih od akni, stoga je cilj ovog rada bio pružiti uvid u različite moguće posljedice koje akne i njihovo liječenje imaju na kvalitetu života ljudi oboljelih od akni. Pregledom literature utvrđeno je da su uzroci nastanka psihosocijalnih posljedica akni brojni, a jedan je od glavnih njihov „neprivlačan“ izgled koji se ne uklapa u društveno nametnuti ideal ljepote. Među psihološkim morbiditetima koji se javljaju kod osoba s aknama, najčešći su: anksioznost, depresija i suicidalne misli. Osim toga, osobe oboljele od akni često imaju sniženo samopouzdanje i samopoštovanje. Velik problem je i aknama uzrokovana socijalna izolacija koja može kod nekih osoba dovesti do trajnog razvoja različitih socijalnih poremećaja. Pristup liječenju psiholoških morbiditeta povezanih s aknama trebao bi primarno biti usmjeren na učinkovito liječenje akni. Što se tiče terapijskih mogućnosti liječenja akni, one su brojne i mogu se podijeliti s obzirom na metodološki pristup liječenju u tri velike skupine: konvencionalne, CAM i fizikalne metode. Svaka od tih metoda ima svoje prednosti i nedostatke koji mogu utjecati na poboljšanje, odnosno pogoršanje kvalitete života. Uočavanje terapijskih parametara koji utječu na kvalitetu života omogućilo je usporedbu različitih metoda liječenja akni prema njihovom utjecaju na kvalitetu života. Tako je usporedbom značajki konvencionalnih, CAM i fizikalnih metoda liječenja pomoću terapijskih parametara ustanovljeno da bi CAM mogle najviše pridonijeti porastu kvalitete života osoba oboljelih od akni.

Abstract (english)

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of pilosebaceal unit. As acne can be seriously detrimental to many aspects of life's quality, the main purpose of this thesis is to illuminate many potential consequences that acne and their treatment have on a patient's life. It has been established that there are multiple causes of psychosocial consequences that acne have on a person's life, one of the biggest being their ''unattractive'' appearance which does not fit in a socially imposed beauty ideal. Some of the most frequent psychological disorders that occur in people with acne are: anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. Besides that, people affected by acne often have low self-esteem and self-respect. One of the major problems is a social isolation caused by acne which can in some cases lead to development of numerous social disorders. The approach to treating psychological morbidities associated with acne treatment should be based primarily on effective acne treatment. Potential treatments of acne are numerous and can be classified according to methodological approach into three large groups: conventional, CAM and physical methods. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages which influence the improvement or deterioriation of life's quality. Comparing different methods of curing acne according to their impact on life's quality has been enabled by an insight into parameters of therapy which affect life's quality. Therefore, by comparing characteristics of conventional, CAM and physical methods of acne treatment, it has been established that the CAM could contribute the most to the increase in the quality of life of people suffering from acne.
