Abstract

OBJECTIVE To explore the experiences of patients with an autoimmune disease during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS A total of 12 patients with autoimmune skin disease who were hospitalized in dermatology wards between 2021 and 2022 participated in this qualitative study. The researchers conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews, which they analyzed using conventional content analysis. RESULTS Data analysis revealed three main themes: changes in mental/psychological status, social impacts and financial problems, and physical consequences. These patients reported changes in mental/psychological status as their most important experiences. CONCLUSIONS During a pandemic, it is important to manage the therapeutic course of patients who are at risk of infection, especially patients with autoimmune skin diseases, via appropriate planning. © Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
