DEVISE - Development and Evaluation of an Online Intervention to Reduce Self-stigma in People With Visible Chronic Skin Diseases: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Jun 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This project aims to develop and evaluate an online intervention to prevent and/or reduce self-stigma in German patients with visible chronic skin diseases. Evaluation of the intervention with regard to effectiveness and feasibility will follow an open-label randomized controlled design with 550 patients in total. The results of the program are expected to provide new insights and markedly extended knowledge on the mechanisms of self-stigma in chronic skin conditions. The new online intervention can be used in routine care, aiming for better patient care in practice and, ultimately decreased extent of self-stigma, increased quality of life of patients, and decreased rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide ideation.
