Funcionalidade, sofrimento e dor no paciente portador de psoríase

Abstract

Psoriasis affects about 2% of the world's population and is now considered a systemic disease, as it is not restricted to cutaneous manifestations but also a number of deficiencies in the locomotor and cardiovascular system. Patients with this clinical entity have a high emotional involvement and difficulties in presenting coping in stressful situations, and the cutaneous manifestations and pruritus that accompany the development of psoriasis still cause stigma, increasing attitudes of social isolation and depression. Analyzing the pathologies described as psychosomatic, we understand the view of human health as a network of interactions between body, mind, environment and soul, and that it is impossible to dissociate these elements. Attempts to control and perhaps cure psoriasis are undergoing transdisciplinary follow-up involving coping elements such as resilience, faith and positive attitudes. Positive psychology is seen as an incentive to deal with or deal with attitudes and within this arsenal of positivity we can count on the search for spirituality in its broad sense, that is, the search for the transcendental side of man. The pursuit of man's intimate contact with his creative force through faith and prayer is seen in many studies as spiritual coaching or facing the quest for the essence.
