Abstract

It is well documented that skin diseases can have a detrimental effect on an individual’s day to day life and can severely affect their Quality of life (QoL). More recently, new research has highlighted the effect that these skin conditions can also have on the family members QoL. The Family Dermatology Life Quality Index (FDLQI) was developed recently by Basra, M et al. in 2007. This is a 10 item questionnaire designed to measure the negative impact on QoL of family members and partners of patients with skin diseases. There has also been research done into how much patients would be willing to pay (WTP) and Time Trade Off (TTO) for a treatment to suppress all the symptoms of the disease, however there is no research into WTP and TTO for relatives of dermatology patients. The aim of this study is to further research the impact of inflammatory skin conditions on family members QoL and to investigate how much time and money relatives would be willing to spend on a hypothetical treatment to relieve the patient of all symptoms of their disease.
