Özet
Psoriasis patients experience negative attitudes and behaviors exhibited by people who have insufficient knowledge about psoriasis. In this study, the knowledge level of the society about psoriasis; people's attitudes toward such patients were investigated. A questionnaire that investigates the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to psoriasis according to age, gender, and education levels was applied to the participants. About a quarter of participants in the study did not have any knowledge about psoriasis, 22.9% participants who thought that they knew about psoriasis believed that psoriasis was an infectious disease, 34.2% indicated that they were afraid of shaking hands with patients who had psoriasis, 45.4% did not wish to eat any food prepared by such patients, and 13.4% did not want to work with them in the same workplace. Female participants were more concerned that psoriasis was contagious (P =.030) than male participants, and they were more concerned about shaking hands (P =.022) and eating food prepared by psoriasis patients (P =.009). Both the psoriasis is little known and the level of knowledge of the participants who think they have knowledge about psoriasis was insufficient and prejudiced attitudes and behaviors are common in patients with psoriasis.
