Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The baseline therapy of atopic dermatitis (AD) includes emollient therapy, prevention of triggering factors and proper patients\' education. Appropriate level of education about AD among patients is crucial for successful treatment of the disease.
OBJECTIVE: To compare and evaluate the level of knowledge about baseline therapy in atopic dermatitis (AD) between the adults with AD and the parents of children with AD.
METHODS: Adult patients with AD (n=180) and parents of children with AD (n=106) completed an original questionnaire covering issues of emollient therapy and bathing. For statistical comparison a chi - square test was used with significance level of 0,05.
RESULTS: With significance level of 0,05, the chi - square test showed a statistically significant difference comparing both groups. 52,38% adults and 68,73% parents proved to know the principles of basic therapy (p<0,05). 55,00% adults and 50,00% parents have not been informed how to apply emollients appropriately (p>=0,05). 75,56% and 74,53%, respectively, seek additional education about it (p>=0,05). 63,89% adults and 49,06% parents have not been informed about the principles of bathing (p<0,05). 70,00% and 74,54%, respectively, expect more comprehensive explanation of bathing rules (p>=0,05).
CONCLUSIONS: Adults with AD have lesser knowledge about baseline therapy than parents of children with AD. Both groups express a very strong need for education about baseline therapy in AD.

摘要：
背景：特应性皮炎（AD）的基线治疗包括润肤治疗，预防触发因素和适当的患者教育。患者中有关AD的适当教育水平对于成功治疗该疾病至关重要。
目的：比较和评估成人AD患者和AD患儿父母对特应性皮炎（AD）基线治疗的知识水平。
方法：成年AD患者（n=180）和AD患儿的父母（n=106）填写了一份原始问卷，涵盖了润肤剂治疗和沐浴问题。为了进行统计比较，使用卡方检验，显著性水平为0.05。
结果：在显著性水平为0.05的情况下，卡方检验显示两组比较差异有统计学意义。52,38％的成年人和68,73％的父母被证明知道基本治疗的原则（p<0.05）。55,00％的成年人和50,00％的父母没有被告知如何适当地使用润肤剂（p>=0.05）。75,56%和74,53%，分别,寻求额外的教育（p>=0.05）。63,89％的成年人和49,06％的父母没有被告知洗澡的原则（p<0.05）。70,00%和74,54%，分别,期待更全面的解释洗澡规则（p>=0.05）。
结论：与AD患儿的父母相比，成人AD患儿对基线治疗的了解较少。两组都非常需要对AD的基线治疗进行教育。
