简要总结
This is a randomized controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness of a social media-based (WeChat) networked nursing follow-up intervention compared to conventional nursing care for patients with atopic dermatitis. The study aims to determine the impact of the intervention on itch severity, skin condition, and self-care ability over a 6-month period.
详细描述
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease that requires long-term management. Traditional outpatient care is often insufficient for managing the chronic nature of the disease. This study explores the effects of social media-based networked follow-up nursing interventions, leveraging popular platforms like WeChat to provide continuous support, personalized care plans, remote monitoring, and health education. This study prospectively enrolled and randomized 100 patients with AD into two groups: a research group receiving the social media-based intervention and a control group receiving conventional nursing care. The primary objective is to compare the differences in itch severity, eczema area and severity index (EASI), overall disease assessment (IGA), and self-care ability between the two groups from baseline to 6 months post-intervention. The study aims to provide evidence for social media-based nursing as an effective adjunctive management strategy for improving outcomes in patients with atopic dermatitis.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental: Social Media-Based Nursing Intervention Group
Patients (n=50) received networked follow-up nursing intervention via a popular social media platform (WeChat). This included weekly educational materials, daily Q&A sessions, personalized care plans, remote monitoring of skin condition via photos, continuous health education, and a peer communication group. This intervention was provided as an adjunct to standard medical care.
干预措施: Social Media-Based Nursing Intervention (Behavioral)
Active Comparator: Conventional Nursing Care Group
Patients (n=50) received conventional nursing care. This included verbal health education at discharge, distribution of educational materials and a follow-up handbook, and weekly follow-up phone calls from a liaison nurse to assess adherence and provide guidance. This intervention was provided as an adjunct to standard medical care.
干预措施: Conventional Nursing Care (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Itch Severity
时间窗: Baseline, 6 Months
Measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for itching. The scale ranges from 0 (no itching) to 10 (very severe itching), where patients rate the most severe itching experienced in the past 24 hours. A higher score indicates more severe itching.
Change in Self-care Ability
时间窗: Baseline, 6 Months
Measured by the Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale (ESCA). The scale includes 43 items across four dimensions (self-care skills, self-responsibility, self-concept, and health knowledge). It uses a Likert 5-point scoring system (0 to 4 points). A higher total score indicates stronger self-care ability.
次要结局
- Change in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)(Baseline, 6 Months)
- Change in Overall Evaluation Score(Baseline, 6 Months)
