Abstract
Condyloma acuminata is a sexually transmitted disease characterized by the appearance of warts in the genital area. The impact of this disease is known to cause significant disruption to the psychosocial aspects of patients. This study aims to evaluate the quality of life of condyloma acuminata patients based on demographic characteristics and patient history. This is a descriptive observational cross-sectional study using a questionnaire involving condyloma acuminata patients undergoing therapy in the Sexually Transmitted Infections Division of the Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Unit of Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya. This research involves a total of 24 patients aged 15-44 with a gender distribution of female (41.7%) and male (58.3%). Disturbances in quality of life were experienced by 21 of 24 patients (87.5%) and 3 patients (12.5%) did not experience disturbances in quality of life. Patients felt that condyloma acuminata caused severe disturbances to their quality of life (41.7%), followed by moderate disturbances (29.2%), mild disturbances (8.3%), and very severe disturbances (8.3%). The main dimensions affected were symptoms, feelings, personal relationships, and sexual problems. The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire scores were analyzed descriptively with frequency distribution tables and crosstabulation based on predetermined variables. This study showed that there was a disturbance in the quality of life in patients with condyloma acuminata, aligned with previous findings.
