Abstract:

Atopic eczema is a chronic, non-contagious, relapsing inflammatory skin condition commonly seen in children and adults. Children with atopic eczema often endure complex skincare regimens that can keep the condition under control when managed effectively. Nonadherence, particularly to topical treatments, is one of the most common causes of treatment failure in atopic eczema. This literature review aimed to explore the barriers that influence treatment adherence in children and young people with atopic eczema and identify recommendations for practice. Six studies were included in the literature review and three themes were identified: relationships, medicines concerns and information deficits. Healthcare professionals should strive to develop trusting relationships with parents and understand the barriers to treatment adherence. Individualised conversations and education about medicines concerns, understanding the psychosocial effects of atopic eczema on children and families, and providing clear, consistent advice can be beneficial.

Abstract:

Abstract Atopic eczema is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease and is a common dermatological condition seen in children and adults. These children often endure complex skincare regimes that can keep the condition under control when effectively managed. This literature review aims to identify and understand the barriers that influence the adherence of eczema treatment for children and young people. Current literature from 2011 to 2021 exploring barriers to treatment adherence for children and young people with atopic eczema was sourced via database searching and reference searching, resulting in six selected papers. Five qualitative and one quantitative paper were selected for further synthesis, identifying three themes. By building trusting relationships and understanding barriers to adherence, healthcare professionals, can make atopic eczema treatment more effective. Individualised conversations about treatment concerns, understanding the psychosocial impacts of atopic eczema on children and families, and providing clear, consistent advice can be beneficial.

Keywords Atopic eczema, eczema, atopic dermatitis, children, child health, dermatology, barriers, treatment, This paper will explain the specific barriers for atopic eczema treatment in children and young people, enhance understanding of the psychosocial impacts of atopic eczema on children and families and identify strategies and support that may be beneficial for the families and children with atopic eczema.
