Abstract
The article explores coping strategies and quality of life in patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), a scarring hair loss condition primarily affecting individuals of African and/or Caribbean descent. The study found that dysfunctional coping mechanisms were associated with poorer quality of life, while emotion-focused coping strategies like acceptance and positive reframing correlated with better quality of life in CCCA patients. The research highlights the importance of patient education and support in developing adaptive coping strategies to improve patient well-being. [Extracted from the article]
