Brief Summary

This multicenter study aims to evaluate treatment adherence and satisfaction of patients with cutaneous lupus, influenced by perception of the disease, fear of side effects, cost of medications and the doctor-patient relationship. Adherence will be measured by a VAS of 80% or higher on the Medical Adherence Self-Report Inventory scale.

Detailed Description

This multicenter, cross-sectional study aims to characterize adherence to treatment and satisfaction of patients with cutaneous lupus. Non-adherence to treatment is a major problem, influenced by perception of the disease, fear of adverse effects, cost of medications and the doctor-patient relationship. Adherence will be measured by a VAS of 80% or more on the visual analog scale of the Medical Adherence Self-Report Inventory questionnaire.

The study is descriptive, multicenter and cross-sectional. Participants will be adult patients suffering from cutaneous lupus, diagnosed by a dermatologist and under treatment, able to complete questionnaires. Patients with systemic lupus, cognitive or psychiatric disorders will be excluded from the study.

The inclusion period is two years, with 30 minutes of follow-up per participant. The study will provide a better understanding of the feelings of patients with cutaneous lupus and the factors limiting their adherence to treatment.
