Abstract

Objective: To explore the relationship among attachment styles, embitterment and psychosocial issues in eczema patients. Methodology: A sample of 130 patients with the age range 18-35 years was selected from different private dermatologie clinics and government hospitals of Lahore, Pakistan through purposive sampling technique. Attachment Questionnaire for Adults (AQA), Posttraumatic Embitterment Disorder Scale (PTEDS) and indigenously developed Psycho-Social Problems scale for Eczema Patients (PPISE) were used for data collection. Results: A positive correlation was found between embitterment and psychosocial problems in eczema patients. Hierarchical Regression Analysis revealed that Insecure Attachment and Embitterment were significant positive predictors of psychosocial problems in eczema patients. Conclusion: This study has identified avoidant attachment style and embitterment as significant risk factors for psychosocial problems in eczema patients.
