MINDFULNESS AND UVB IN THE TREATMENT OF MODERATE PSORIASIS 33 up through, up the arms and a little on the chest, and when you were in the shower, then after a shower you were red-dotted up on the leg. It was like the skin, when it was wet you could see indications that the psoriasis was going to break out. Because now and then I had like small white scales that came loose and then I went to the doctor and had the light treatment. (...)I didn’t worry anything more about it. I just noted that "Oh, I have had a lot more (now)". Frank saw the signs of the disease in terms of red spots and scaling. The Relapse was acknowledged by Frank and then he attended light therapy. He accepted the fact that he has a chronic disease, though the realized that the disease progressed. As Ellen previously mentioned, “scale# and “thick skin” can minimize the effects of light therapy. This is an important argument for seeking early treatment in preventing a manifestation of the disease. They underline the importance that they do not worry about how the disease progresses, though they mention the undesired areas of the disease, and how their illness is compared to more worse cases. A general concern was their thoughts about disease progression. Light therapy was described as time consuming, related mostly to the transportation to the hospital. This varied in terms of proximity to hospital as Sara mention here: Sara: No, it doesn’t matter. And the reason for that is that I’m 2 minutes from the hospital. So, you can imagine if I had stayed in the city center and that I had to drive and not have parked. Then I had spent two hours on it. Instead of that I use the 7 minutes it takes. When living as close to the hospital as Sara does, time is less of an issue, especially since light therapy only takes a few minutes. The difference was as Sara points out that the time drastically increases, when living 20-30 minutes away. With traveling, back and forth this could take as much as 2 hours. In her case this was no real issue. For others, the time consumption was a factor in their adherence for doing light therapy: Anne: When it is, nearby I take it more. Like that with the Sun. In Bergen, I had only 2 minutes walk to the sun treatment so then I did it a little more often. But for a six-week period, but perhaps two weeks prior to a performance. So, I could go on a regular basis without that there was any hassle. But when it is like far away. (...) Then I won’t do it. OnlyPDF Image | Combining Mindfulness and Ultraviolet Phototherapy (UVB
