Changes In The Severity Of Acne Vulgaris As Affected By Examination Stress
By A J Jackson
Summary of research:
Although emotional sweat has long been suspected to exacerbate vulgaris, previous reports addressing its influence on severity have been largely anecdotal.
OBJECTIVES: To elucidate the latent relationship between stress and exacerbation by evaluating changes in severity during nonexamination and examination periods and to assess the possible relationship of these changes in severity with perceived examination annoyance by using previously validated scales measuring severity and perceived stress. Draw: Prospective other self study. Footing: General university community.
PARTICIPANTS: A volunteer sample of 22 university students ( 15 women and 7 men ) with a minimum vulgaris severity of 0. 5 on the photonumeric Leeds scale ( baseline scores, 0. 50 - 1. 75 ).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Participants were graded on their severity using the Leeds scale, and had their subjective stress levels assessed with

the Perceived Stress Scale questionnaire during both nonexamination and examination periods.
The outcome of this Hunt: Subjects had a bounteous close grade of severity and mean perceived stress score ( P<. 01 for both ) during examinations. Using regression analysis and adjusting for the effects of confounding variables, such as changes in anchor hours, sleep quality, diet quality, and number of meals per day, increased severity was significantly associated with increased stress levels ( r = 0. 61, P<. 01 ), while self - assessed change in diet merit was the only other significant association ( P =. 02 ).
The Report's Conclusions: Patients with may experience worsening of the disease during examinations. Furthermore, changes in severity correlate unusually with maturity stress, suggesting that emotional stress from external sources may have a significant influence on Acne.
Report Duration: The response of skin disease to stress: changes in the severity of vulgaris as affected by examination stress.
