Methods: A total of 66 patients with type D personality psoriasis admitted to the dermatology department of a top-three hospital in Jingzhou City from November 2022 to July 2023 were selected and divided into control group and test group with 33 cases in each group by random number table method. The control group received routine health education, and the experimental group received health education based on the HAPA theory. Chronic disease self-efficacy scale, hospital anxiety and depression scale and skin disease quality of life scale were used to evaluate the effect of intervention. Results: After 3 months of intervention, the scores of self-efficacy in experimental group were higher than those in control group (P < 0.05), and the scores of negative emotion and quality of life in experimental group were better than those in control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Health education based on the theory of HAPA can enhance the self-efficacy of patients with type D personality psoriasis, relieve negative emotions and improve their quality of life. %K Health Action Process Approach Theory %K Type D Personality %K Psoriasis %K Self-Efficacy %K Negative Emotions %K Quality of Life %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=140471
