Background: It is important to educate families of pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) so that they have a correct understanding of AD.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to introduce, evaluate, and improve our family-engaged educational program.
Methods: Children suffering from AD and their families have participated in a half-day educational program called ¡°AD school¡± with catchy slogans such as ¡°Enjoy with AD Families!¡± every year since 2005. Educational lectures were conducted for parents. For children with AD, various entertaining programs were provided. A feedback survey about AD school was administered for the purpose of evaluation.
Results: A total of 827 people (376 patients and 451 family members) participated in this program over 7 years. On-site surveys showed a positive response (i.e., ¡°excellent¡± or ¡°good¡±) for the prick test (95.1%), emollient education (78.4%), educational lecture (97.0%), drawing contest and games (90.2%), and recreation (magic show; 99.0%) respectively. Telephone surveys one year later also elicited a positive response.
Conclusion: We herein introduce the experience of a half-day, family-engaged educational program for AD. Family-engaged education programs for AD such as this AD school encourage and validate family participation in the treatment of their children¡¯s AD. (Ann Dermatol 27(4) 383¡388, 2015)
