详细描述
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of additional nursing instruction for the caregivers of newly diagnosed pediatric atopic dermatitis patients at the University of Missouri Dermatology clinic. Caregivers of children with atopic dermatitis will be randomized to one of two instruction/education procedures. The goal is to determine if improved retention of information by caregivers/parents of children with atopic dermatitis is associated with better patient outcomes.

研究组 & 干预措施
Physician/resident instruction
This arm is standard of care instruction given to parents/caregivers of children with atopic dermatitis by the dermatologist and/or dermatology resident during a patient visit.
Nurse instruction
Following the usual standard of care instruction by physician/resident (which both the treatment group and the non-treatment group will receive); the dermatology nurse will give enhanced instruction about skin care and medications to the caregivers/parents who were randomized to the treatment group.
干预措施: Nurse instruction (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)
时间窗: EASI administered by blinded investigator at the initial visit, prior to teaching intervention; EASI again administered by same blinded investigator at visit 2 (at 4 weeks).
The Eczema Area and Severity Index is used to document extent and severity of atopic dermatitis on child's skin at the beginning of the study and again at the follow-up visit. The purpose is to determine improvement or lack of improvement following teaching intervention by nurses in the dermatology clinic.
次要结局
- Caregiver Questionnaire(Visit 2 (or Week 4 visit))
