Abstract

Objectives

The purpose of this pilot study was to assess improvements in associated sleep and caregiver mood following treatment of atopic dermatitis in young children.

Methods

Participants included children (n = 23; M_age = 22.0 months) and their caregivers. Topical management of atopic dermatitis was conducted for 2 weeks, with measures of skin, sleep (child, caregiver), and mood (caregiver) at baseline and day 14.

Results

Topical management resulted in significant improvements in child skin, with associated increases in sleep consolidation. There were similar improvements in caregiver nightwakings, with nighttime sleep duration improving by over an hour. Caregivers also reported more energy to engage with their family and feeling better rested.

Conclusions

Overall, topical management significantly improved atopic dermatitis. There were concomitant improvements in sleep outcomes for children and their caregivers, as well as caregiver mood. Daily management of atopic dermatitis may result in improvements in not just skin health but also sleep and family well-being.

改善幼儿特应性皮炎治疗后的睡眠。

研究目的本试验研究旨在评估幼儿特应性皮炎治疗后相关睡眠和护理人员情绪的改善情况：参与者包括儿童（n = 23；年龄 = 22.0 个月）及其照顾者。对特应性皮炎进行了为期 2 周的局部治疗，并在基线和第 14 天对皮肤、睡眠（儿童、照顾者）和情绪（照顾者）进行了测量：结果：局部治疗使儿童的皮肤得到明显改善，同时睡眠巩固率也有所提高。护理人员的夜醒情况也有类似改善，夜间睡眠时间延长了一个多小时。护理人员还表示有更多精力与家人相处，并感觉休息得更好：总的来说，局部治疗能明显改善特应性皮炎。结论：总体而言，局部用药能明显改善特应性皮炎，同时还能改善儿童及其护理人员的睡眠质量以及护理人员的情绪。特应性皮炎的日常护理不仅能改善皮肤健康，还能改善睡眠和家庭幸福。
