Article Synopsis
- - The study identifies the significant long-term psychological and quality-of-life impacts on adults diagnosed with Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), beyond the well-documented physical effects.
- - Through in-depth interviews with 18 adults, two main themes emerged: 'Psychosocial Impacts' and 'Chronicity of Sequelae', highlighting how SJS/TEN changes patients' views on life and affects their overall well-being.
- - The research concludes that understanding the chronic nature of SJS/TEN is crucial for improving patient care and emphasizes the need for better psychological support and coordinated healthcare pathways after hospital discharge.
