'More extraordinary than mundane … ' A phenomenological analysis of the experiences of individuals living with CLE and their taking care in the sun.
CONCLUSION: This study provides a nuanced insight into the lived experiences of individuals with CLE and their photoprotective practices. Taking care in the sun is not a simplistic process. Beyond the biomedical model of illness, the social impact that CLE has on individuals has a dominant influence on their photoprotective behaviours. Such insights could help healthcare professionals tailor photoprotective advice.
