ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To assess the Quality of Life (QoL) of children with Atopic Dermatitis (AD) and their families and the impact of the mothers' illness perceptions on the family QoL. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

Seventy-five children with AD (54 infants and 21 children) and their mothers participated in the study. The following questionnaires were administrated 1. Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief IPQ); 2. Infant's Dermatitis Quality of Life Index (IDQOL); 3. Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI); 4. Dermatitis Family Impact Questionnaire (DFIQ) and 5. The Severity Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD).

RESULTS:

Atopic dermatitis had a moderate impact on the QoL of the infants (6.67 ± 5.30), children (7.86 ± 7.19) and their families (9.42 ± 7.03). The DFIQ was associated with certain dimensions of the Brief IPQ, specifically, with Illness Identity (greater symptom burden) (r = 0.615, p = 0.000), beliefs about the Consequences of the illness (r = 0.542, p = 0.000), the Concerns (r = 0.421, p = 0.000) and the Emotional Representations (r= 0.510, p = 0.000). Correlation was demonstrated between IDQOL and DFIQ (r = 0.662, p = 0.000) and between CDLQI and DFIQ (r = 0.832, p = 0.000), and a weaker correlation between SCORAD and DFIQ (r = 0.255, p = 0.035). The chronicity of the AD showed negative association with DFIQ (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS:

The QoL of families with a child with AD is associated with the mother's illness perceptions about AD, the children's QoL and with both the severity and the chronicity of the disease. Therefore, clinicians should pay attention not only to the clinical characteristics of the children, but also to the parents' beliefs and emotions, to improve the family QoL
