[Sociological studies in acne vulgaris. 2. Effect of the disease on the evaluation of clinical picture and motivation for therapy].
A questionnaire was presented to 2009 18--19 year old recruitment candidates. The questionnaire enabled appraisal of antipathy towards patients with severe acne vulgaris and the occupational inpediment of severe acne. It was shown in comparison of patients with clinically relevant acne and healthy subjects or patients with a minor variant of acne that acne patients are more prepared to tolerate other acne patients than are healthy subjects. A questionnaire which enabled appraisal of attitudes to therapy was presented in addition to 351 patients with clinically relevant acne in this collective. The schools attended were also recorded in these patients. It was shown that the motivation to undergo treatment can be assumed in only half of the acne patients; this motivation is less the more radical the therapy. However, the motivation is greater the higher the educational level of the person questioned.
