What this trial studies

This multicenter, cross-sectional study aims to assess how well patients with cutaneous lupus adhere to their treatment and their satisfaction with care. It explores factors influencing adherence, such as disease perception, fear of side effects, medication costs, and the doctor-patient relationship. Adherence will be quantified using a visual analog scale, targeting a threshold of 80% or higher on the Medical Adherence Self-Report Inventory. The study will involve adult patients diagnosed with cutaneous lupus who are currently receiving treatment and can complete questionnaires.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adult patients diagnosed with cutaneous lupus who are currently under treatment and can complete questionnaires.

Not a fit: Patients with systemic lupus, cognitive or psychiatric disorders, or those who are pregnant may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment adherence and satisfaction for patients with cutaneous lupus.

How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have explored treatment adherence in other conditions, this specific focus on cutaneous lupus is relatively novel.
