Özet

Background and Design: Quality of life scales provide clinicians a systematic and scientifically valid data to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment options. The Skindex-16 is a dermatology related quality of life measure developed in the United States of America as a skin disease-specific quality-of-life measure. We aimed to generate a semantically equivalent translation of the Skindex-16 to use in Turkish language.
