Abstract
Objective: To analyze the quality of life of individuals with alopecia associated with COVID-19. Methods: This is a descriptive and observational study of a quantitative nature, composed of 38 individuals, of both sexes, aged between 18 and 59 years, post-infection divided into two groups: without alopecia (GSA) and with alopecia (GCA). After approval by the Ethics and Research on Human Beings Committee, an evaluation form created by the authors was used to trace the epidemiological profile and the SF-36 questionnaire to assess quality of life. The data obtained underwent a statistical analysis with the program Bioestatat 5.3 and the rejection of the null hypothesis was set at 5% to obtain the results relevant to the study. Results: The research sample consisted of 38 participants, 19 (GCA) and 19 (GSA). According to the evaluation form completed by the participants, none required hospitalization due to COVID-19. Statistical relevance was observed in the vitality domain of the SF-36 questionnaire, when compared between the GSA and GA groups. Conclusion: It is concluded that self-perception of alopecia interferes with quality of life. Among the SF-36 domains, vitality is the most relevant.
