Abstract:

Objective To understand the current status of positive psychological qualities (hope trait, self-compassion), anxiety, depression, and quality of life in adult patients with port-wine stain (PWS), and to provide a basis for implementing psychological interventions from the perspective of positive psychology. Methods A convenient sampling method was used to select 119 adult patients with fresh red nevus who underwent pulsed dye laser treatment from March to June 2023 as the study subjects. The survey tools included a general information questionnaire, Herth Hope Index, Self-Compassion Scale, Depression Screening Scale, Anxiety Screening Scale, and Health Status Questionnaire. Correlation analysis between variables was conducted. Results The average score of hope trait in 119 PWS patients was 30.8±7.7, with 16.0% of patients having low levels of hope trait, and the self-compassion score was 82.4±10.9. 48.7% of patients were positive for depression, and 65.5% of patients were positive for anxiety. The average score of quality of life was 68.3±12.5. There was a significant negative correlation between positive psychological qualities (hope trait, self-compassion) and negative emotions (anxiety, depression), and a significant positive correlation between positive psychological qualities (hope trait, self-compassion) and quality of life (P<0.05). Conclusion The positive psychological qualities of adult PWS patients are at a moderate level, with experiencing negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, leading to decreased quality of life. Positive psychological qualities are key factors in improving negative emotions and enhancing quality of life in PWS patients, and personalized intervention strategies for positive psychological qualities can be explored in the future.
