Improving management of psoriasis patients receiving biological treatment: A qualitative approach

Abstract

Consultations had a strong biomedical and corrective approach focusing on lifestyle behaviour change, measurements and permanent routines. Healthcare professionals felt the need for enhanced competencies providing lifestyle behaviour change support and the possibility of providing patients more specific strategies. They were faced with a dilemma between lacking the right skills and having a professional duty. The frequent follow-up visits did not fit in with the patients' everyday lives.
