Perceptions Of Acne Vulgaris In Final Year Medical Students
By A J Jackson


Summary of research:

Different perceptions exist amoungst sufferers as well as many primary care professionals regarding factors that exacerbate vulgaris. In particular stress, diet, lifestyle and personal hygiene are often claimed to be important factors.

Researchers decided to investigate further and see whether these common perceptions persist in medical graduates and analysed the answers of 215 sixth year medical students, who all subsequently graduated from The University of Melbourne, to a short - answer question on management and exacerbating factors in one of their final year examination papers. With respect to exacerbating factors, 67 % of students identified stress, 10 %

identified lifestyle factors ( smoking and alcohol consumption ), and 25 % claimed poor facial hygiene exacerbated Acne. Diet was stated to be an important factor by 41 % of students, of whom 12 % specifically mentioned chocolate.

The persistence of these perceptions among medical graduates is, the report suggests, likely to perpetuate this kind of misinformation in the community at large. What needs to be done is for sufferers and health professionals to have access to independent clinical data that focusses on the known causes and relative success of available treatments.
