About this study

Official title: The Effectiveness of Tailored Messages on the Usage of Emollient in Patients With Atopic Dermatitis: A Pilot Study

Atopic dermatitis is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease in children and severely affects quality of life (QoL) of patients and their parents. The application of topical medications and emollient is the mainstay of the treatment, but complexity of the treatment and lack of self-care knowledge cause poor adherence, leading to therapeutic failure. Adequate education about the chronic disease and its treatment was known to improve the treatment adherence. There are a variety forms like generalized information leaflets and video clips for imparting information to patients and individualized tailoring education was considered more effective way to improve patients' adherence. The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of tailored education in dermatology area, especially the emollient usage in patients with atopic dermatitis.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Tailored leaflet groupBehavioural

    Also called Tailored leaflet about the adequate use of emollient

    Parents in intervention group will receive an patient education leaflet and watch an educational video about lifestyle recommendations, and the use of emollients. In addition to general information, parents in intervention group will also receive the tailored leaflet including the estimated amount of emollients based on the body surface area.

  • Control groupBehavioural

    Participants (parents of children with atopic dermatitis) in control group will receive an patient education leaflet and watch an educational video about lifestyle recommendations, and the use of emollients.

Receives: Behavioral: Control group

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change of the weekly amount of emollient used

    Parents of patients are asked to bring the emollients to each visit at which time the emollients are weighed.

    Measured: Two weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Average daily number of emollient usage

    Measured: Two weeks

  2. Average daily number of topical medication (other than emollient) usage

    Measured: Two weeks

  3. Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA)

    At each visit, disease severity will be assessed using the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA).

    Measured: Two weeks

  4. Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)

    At each visit, disease severity will be assessed using the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI).

    Measured: Two weeks
