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.
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。
