Quality of life among adults with scabies: A community-based cross-sectional study in north-western Ethiopia
Quality of life was moderately impaired among people affected by scabies. Refocusing attention on management of disease symptoms, using standard scabies treatment, and providing psychosocial support to improve self-perception of people affected with scabies may help reduce quality of life impairment.
