Summary
Parental knowledge, attitude, and behavior significantly impact childhood atopic dermatitis (AD) management. Older, married, and personally affected parents show higher AD knowledge and positive attitudes.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Pediatrics
- Public Health
Background:
- Atopic dermatitis (AD) control in children relies on parental understanding and attitudes.
- Limited research exists on parental knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors concerning childhood AD.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate parental knowledge, attitude, and behavior towards atopic dermatitis in children.
- To identify factors influencing parental knowledge, attitude, and behavior in childhood AD management.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study was conducted with parents of children diagnosed with AD.
- Data collected via a questionnaire covering sociodemographics, child characteristics, and parental knowledge, attitude, and behavior.
- Multiple linear regression models were used to analyze factors associated with knowledge, attitude, and behavior.
Main Results:
- Average parental knowledge score was 9.5/12. Knowledge did not correlate with self-perceived expertise.
- Older, married/partnered, and parents with personal AD history demonstrated higher knowledge.
- Older and employed parents exhibited more positive attitudes; older parents and less educated parents showed more supportive behaviors.
Conclusions:
- Parental understanding of AD is crucial for effective disease management.
- Family members' attitudes and behaviors play a significant role in controlling childhood atopic dermatitis.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.

Parent-child interactions lay the foundation for how we understand relationships throughout life. These interactions are not uniform across families; instead, they are shaped by a range of environmental, emotional, and behavioral factors unique to each caregiver-child dynamic. Social psychologists study these early relationships to understand how patterns formed in infancy influence social functioning and interpersonal behavior in adulthood.Attachment Theory and Early Relational ModelsJohn...

Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.

Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
