Approaches to Photoprotection and Normalization in Highly Adherent Families of Children With Xeroderma Pigmentosum in the United Kingdom
In this study, we examine photoprotection for children with Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), a rare genetic skin disease requiring rigorous photoprotection, to reduce risks of severe burning and skin cancers from exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR). We elicit the views and experiences of both children and their parents to inform the care and support provided. Qualitative semistructured interviews were undertaken with 12 child-parent dyads recruite…
Experiences of stigma over the lifetime of people with xeroderma pigmentosum
This study explored experiences of stigma in 25 adults with xeroderma pigmentosum. Analysis of semi-structured interviews revealed the changing nature of stigma over the lifetime.

Resilience and rejection of feelings of stigma increased with age and experiences of stigma differed acro…
Stress, Illness Perceptions, Behaviors, and Healing in Venous Leg Ulcers
