Article Synopsis
- The study focused on evaluating sexual distress and quality of life in women suffering from moderate-to-severe genital erosive lichen planus (GELP) in Norway.
- A total of 36 women were assessed using the Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS-R) for sexual distress and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) for quality of life, with findings showing significant distress and reduced quality of life among many participants.
- Despite the significant sexual distress and quality of life issues reported, no clear relationships were identified between the severity of the disease and the levels of distress or quality of life, nor was there a correlation with age.

Methods: Twelve interviews were conducted with registered nurses working in a hospital in Norway.

Over a period of eight months, we conducted three interviews with each of the nine participants. We analysed the data using reflexive thematic analysis and drew on timescapes to further interpret our preliminary analysis.
