Abstract
Vitiligo is a skin depigmentation disorder and chronic asymptomatic due to the destruction of
melanocytes. Patients with vitiligo in addition to physical disorders also affect the psychological
state that disrupts the quality of life of the patients. This study aims to identify the factors that
affect the quality of life of vitiligo patients. Analytic study was conducted using cross-sectional
design with questionnaire Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) to vitiligo patients who went to
the Dermato-Venereology Policlinic dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital, Banda Aceh. The results of
this study found that visible location and long-suffering vitiligoless than one year affect the quality
of life of patients (p 0.05). The results are consistent with
Zandietal (2010) that found no significant relationship between age and the quality of life of
vitiligopatients; p value = 0.33 (p> 0.05).In another research reported that both young and old age
are equally disrupted the quality of life due to the disease. Vitiligo provide social and
psychologicaldisorders, psychiatric morbidity, anxiety, even lead to depression regardless of age
group(Wang and Baba, 2012).
In this study found no significant relationship between the sexes with the quality of life of patients
with vitiligo (p value = 0.140, p> 0.05). This is consistent with the results of Zandiet al (2010), All of
patients feel their quality of life disrupted by vitiligo. The average value DLQI in men was 6.64 while in
women is different 5,81. Al Mubarak etal (2011) reported a significant relationship between the sexes
with the quality of life invitiligo patients, the average score for men was 11.1 and for women is 23.9
with p value 0.05). This is according to research conducted by Zandietal (2010), who
reported that the average value DLQI in patients who are not married is 5.97, while married is 6.44
with p value = 0, 38 (p> 0.05) so that there is no association between marital status and quality of
life of vitiligo patients. The quality of lifein vitiligopatients either already married or not married are
equally disrupted due to illness.
The study concluded there was no significant relationship between work and quality of life of patients
with vitiligowithp value = 0.244 (p> 0.05). This Results differs from Al Mubarak etal (2011)who
reported that the quality of life invitiligo patients who have a job is more disrupted than the patientss
who did not work (p
