Researchers recruited 10 participants via purposive sampling. Data were collected via semistructured, in-depth, face-to-face interviews, and interpretative phenomenologic analysis was performed.RESULTSData analysis uncovered two primary themes among participants' interview responses: unending symptoms and life becoming hard.CONCLUSIONSThe symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa negatively affect individuals' family, professional, and daily lives, and patients may benefit from psychiatric intervention. | |
