Timeframe: 6 weeks

DQoL is a questionnaire-based scale designed to measure the impact of dermatological conditions on a patient's quality of life. It assesses various aspects, including symptoms, psychological well-being, social activities, and treatment-related effects. Scale Range:The DQoL consists of 10 questions, each scored on a scale from 0 to 3: 0 = Not at all, 1 = A little,2 = A lot,3 = Very much The total score ranges from 0 to 30, where higher scores indicate a greater negative impact of the skin condition on quality of life. Interpretation of Scale Scores: Total Score 0-1: No or minimal impact; 2-5: Mild impact; 6-10: Moderate impact; 11-20: Significant impact; 21-30: Severe impact Higher DQoL scores indicate worse quality of life due to the skin condition, while lower scores suggest minimal impact. Computation of Scores:DQoL total score is calculated as the sum of the 10 item scores. Unit of Measure: "Scores on a scale" should be used as the Unit of Measure if no other units apply.
