MINDFULNESS AND UVB IN THE TREATMENT OF MODERATE PSORIASIS 35 It is important to note that Frank expectations for getting the disease back was in term of stress rather than only related to light therapy: Frank: “So I expect that given the hassle I have today with the House, it will come back and maybe a little faster.” In the context that Frank had 3 periods of light therapy during a decade of having psoriasis, he expressed that there is a “disappointment” when the disease “reappeared”. The accepting of such a short-lasting effect, may reduce the adherence for light therapy. Light therapy summarized. Most patients had not been to light therapy in many years, even though some of them had the best effect from this treatment. The reason for seeking treatment was often that the disease had the potential to become more severe, though the threshold for seeking treatment was quite high. Time perspective is an important factor for some if they attend the light therapy. The most time consuming was not the treatment, but transportation to treatment. If a patient uses 1 hour back and forth between treatment, then it adds up to a total of 18 hours in 6 weeks only in traveling. In comparison with 2 minutes each way, it is approximately 4.2 hours. The outcome was satisfactory for the informants, although it was only temporary, and some was disappointed that the symptoms reappeared a while after. Mindfulness Three of the informants (Ellen, Sara, and Frank) were in the intervention group. Four other intervention patients gave comments about the mindfulness intervention. They experienced the effect of the intervention quite individually, but with some similarities. Frank and Ellen had some experience in doing relaxation techniques, but for Sara this was a completely new practice: Ellen: I have been to yoga, so it was not entirely unknown to me. But it's probably a couple of years since I attended a course, but then she (the instructor) moved, and I sort of fell out of it. And (I) haven’t started with it after that. That’s perhaps why I said "Yes" to this. I really enjoyed it. It's also this with meditation.PDF Image | Combining Mindfulness and Ultraviolet Phototherapy (UVB
