Background: Providing an educational program as part of ahealth care program for the management of atopic dermatitis(AD) patients has rapidly become popular. AD educationalprograms can be of benefit in measured outcomes for bothdermatology specialists and patients. Objective: To determinethe effects of programmed education delivered bydermatology specialists on the management and knowledgeof AD, we assessed the effectiveness of patient/parentaleducation at improving AD knowledge, and determined theusefulness of the education. Methods: The program consistedof five, 20-minutes sessions which were prepared,discussed, reviewed, and delivered by professors ofdermatology. At the end of the program, AD knowledge wasassessed using a standardized questionnaire. A total of 148people were included. Fifty-eight patients/parents receivedthe programmed education and the remaining 90 did notreceive the programmed education. Results: The meanquestionnaire scores from both groups were compared. Mean knowledge scores were significantly higher for thosewho received the education (p=0.00). We analyzed theknowledge score according to factors such as gender,education level, marital status, and occupation. The dataindicated that education level influences the subjects’knowledge level of AD, but gender, occupation, and maritalstatus do not. Conclusion: An educational program can be aneffective tool to improve patient quality of life and treatmentcompliance by providing psychological support to thepatients and their parents.
