MINDFULNESS AND UVB IN THE TREATMENT OF MODERATE PSORIASIS 43 look upon worse cases and their own behavior in social settings may increase knowledge about how they perceive their life quality. Light therapy The informants had not been to light therapy in many years, even though some of them had experienced the best effect from this specific treatment. The informants seemed to attend their treatment when the disease began to develop quickly and adversely. The concern about manifestation and increased discomfort seemed to be the trigger for approaching treatment. The adherence for performing light therapy appears to be an important theme along with the relevance of time and distance from home to the hospital clinic(Kalia et al., 2014). Traveling to and from the light therapy is what is most time consuming, given that the treatment itself can be as short as seconds to a few minutes. Take a moment to consider two patients, one has 2 minutes to the treatment and the other 30 minutes. The difference is not huge in one single treatment, however it is substantial over six-weeks with three sessions a week. The time consumption is 18 hours for the first one and only 4,2 hours for second one, and that makes distance relevant in terms of adherence. It is clearly more disruptive in to spend18 hours compared to 4,2 hours traveling to treatment. The patients had good outcomes from the treatment in terms of significant reduction of PASI, DLQI, and the informants had good subjective satisfaction. Informants with Guttate psoriasis appeared most pleased with the light therapy (Fernandez-Guarino et al., 2017). The effect of the treatment was for some informants short lasting. The reappearance of symptoms for some informants was disappointing and may reduce their adherence for light therapy in the future. Strengths and limitations This pilot study demonstrates how Mindfulness combined with light therapy in design can show measured benefits of increased subjective well-being, however there are some limitations. A major limitation is the low number of participants with N=16, which shouldPDF Image | Combining Mindfulness and Ultraviolet Phototherapy (UVB
