Аннотация
BACKGROUND: In order to cure diseases effectively it is important that they are detected in their early stages so that medical precautions can be taken. With job-related disorders it is conceivable that anxiety concerning the workplace, as well as other factors of a demanding nature, may lead to a further delay of diagnosis and treatment.
OBJECTIVE: The study was carried out for the purpose of gathering information about the patients' reactions in the preclinical phase of job-related eczema.
METHODS: 79 patients suffering from a job-related skin disease were questioned. The patients were divided up into groups according to their respective delay and the results evaluated in line with the method of logistic regression.
RESULTS: The average delay was 8.6 months. Fear of losing their job was mentioned by most participants as the reason for the postponement of seeking medical care. People with a long delay were mainly men, senior and Swiss citizens, those with a higher education and those with a longer professional training.
CONCLUSION: Patient delay in occupational dermatology highly depends on the support of employers and on the counseling of workers on job-related skin disease and their insurance protection.
