ABSTRACT
To evaluate the association between quality of life (QL), perceived stress in patients with vitiligo and compare the perception of stress with noncarriers. The first study was cross-secctional, and the second case-control with 51 patients in outpatient treatment and 51 users of a blood center, matched by sex and age. Questionnaires used were Dermatology Life Quality Index and Perceived Stress Scale.

Results:

The mean score of quality of life in patients was 4.7 ± 5.8, showing a slight impairment in QL. There was association between QL and black skin color (p <0.001), involvement of standard exposed vitiligo (p < 0.001) and perceived stress (p = 0.033). The perceived stress rated among the groups showed an average of 20.7 ± 6.0 and 17.8 ± 7.0 for cases and controls, respectively. Vitiligo patients had higher perceived stress compared to the control group (p = 0.022). The results showed a high perceived stress in patients with vitiligo, suggesting that the disease increases the level of stress. The overall score of the quality of life was relatively low indicating mild impairment of disease on quality of life.
RESUMO
Avaliar a associação entre qualidade de vida, percepção de estresse em portadores de vitiligo e comparar a percepção de estresse com não portadores.

Métodos:

O primeiro estudo foi transversal, e o segundo caso-controle realizado com 51 pacientes em tratamento ambulatorial e 51 usuários de um hemocentro, pareados por sexo e idade. Utilizaram-se os questionários Dermatology Life Quality Index e a Escala de Estresse Percebido.

Resultados:

O escore médio de qualidade de vida nos portadores foi de 4,7 ± 5,8, demonstrando um comprometimento leve na QV. Verificou-se associação entre QV e cor da pele negra (p < 0,001), padrão de envolvimento do vitiligo exposto (p < 0,001) e estresse percebido (p = 0,033). O estresse percebido avaliado entre os grupos apresentou médias de 20,7±6,0 e 17,8±7,0 para caso e controle, respectivamente. Portadores do vitiligo apresentaram percepção de estresse mais elevada quando comparado ao grupo controle (p = 0,022). Os resultados apontaram uma percepção elevada de estresse nos portadores de vitiligo, sugerindo que a doença aumenta o nível de estresse. A pontuação geral da qualidade de vida foi relativamente baixa, indicando comprometimento leve da doença sobre a qualidade de vida.
