MINDFULNESS AND UVB IN THE TREATMENT OF MODERATE PSORIASIS 17 grouping statements. The author and supervisor translated the applied statements. Applied statements were translated by the author and supervisor. Although the quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed separately, it was followed by applying a mixed method approach, in which the interview results were related to the quantitate data of life quality, perceived stress, treatment, process of healing, and mindfulness. Ethics for Interviews All recordings were deleted after the transcription. The informants signed an own informed consent for attending the interview. The researcher gave each informant a pseudonym, however the commentary had single letters. Details shared in the transcription was removed in terms of location, work place, names and other sensitive information. Results The aim for this pilot study was to develop a study design for assessing the effect of Mindfulness intervention combined with Narrow-band Ultraviolet Phototherapy(UVB) in patients with moderate- psoriasis. The outcome variables were FFMQ, PSS, PASI and DLQI. The expected results for the intervention group compared to control were larger FFMQ scores and reduced PSS. The decreased PSS for the intervention group was expected to lead to greater reduction in PASI and DLQI. Demographic We checked for any differences in the baseline data between the intervention and control group. We found no difference between the groups on any of the tested variables. The mean age was not significant different, but a tendency for larger age in the intervention compared to the control. The study consisted mostly of women. The secondary diseases were examples of cancer, Bekhterevs syndrome/ ankylosing Spondylitis, arrhythmias in heart, Chronic Skin infection, and Hirsutism. The use of steroid cream was reduced as the table illustrates. See table 1. The clinical measurement presents a tendency to distinguish between climate and time since exposure to warm or cold temperatures.
