Didem Yayla Karakurt, Esra Özek Yücel, Deniz Özçeker, Ömer Faruk Beşer

Objective: This study, aimed to determine the effect of bathing habits and moisturizer use on the severity of atopic dermatitis in pediatric patients and determine the families’ attitudes. Material and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, data were collected by administering a questionnaire containing questions about bathing frequency, bathing duration, bathing methods, bath products used, and moisturizers used by mothers for children atopic dermatitis. The SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) score was used to determine the severity of atopic dermatitis. Serum total immunoglobulin (Ig) E, eosinophil percentage, and skin prick test results were obtained from the patient’s health record. Results: The study was attended by the mothers of 49 boys and 51 girls (age 6 months to 15 years old) with atopic dermatitis. When the patients were grouped according to the SCORAD score, 48 had mild, 49 had moderate, and three had severe atopic dermatitis. The frequency of washing with bath was high in patients grouped according to SCORAD (p=0.001). Patients with severe atopic dermatitis more often take a bath in the winter than those with mild and moderate atopic dermatitis (22.45%) (p=0.034). No significant relationship was found between moisturizer use, bathing frequency, and bath products used and severity of atopic dermatitis. Conclusion: Bathing can be more effective than taking a shower. In the treatment of atopic dermatitis, the use of moisturizers, type of bathing, and bathing products used in addition to medications may be important and must be evaluated comprehensively

Atopik Dermatit Tanılı Çocuklarda Banyo Alışkanlıkları ve Egzama Şiddetine Etkisi

Didem Yayla Karakurt, Esra Özek Yücel, Deniz Özçeker, Ömer Faruk Beşer

Amaç: Atopik dermatit tanılı hastalarda banyo alışkanlıklarının ve nemlendirici kullanımının hastalığın şiddetine etkisinin saptanması ve ailelerin bu konudaki tutumlarının belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı kesitsel tipteki çalışmamızda Okmeydanı EAH Çocuk Alerji Polikliniğine başvuran atopik dermatit tanılı hastaların annelerine banyo sıklığı, yıkanma şekli, banyo süresi, banyoda kullanılan ürünler ve nemlendirici kullanımı ile ilgili soruları içeren anket uygulanarak veriler toplandı. Atopik dermatitin ağırlığını belirlemek için Atopik Dermatit skorlaması SCORAD (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis) skoru kullanıldı. Hastalara ait serum total immunglobulin (Ig) E, eozinofil yüzdesi ve deri delme testi sonuçları hasta dosyasından elde edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 6 ay- 15 yaş arası 49’u erkek ve 51’i kız hastanın annesi katılmıştır. SCORAD skoruna göre hastalar gruplandırıldığında 48 hastanın hafif, 49 hastanın orta ve 3 hastanın ciddi atopik dermatiti (AD) olduğu görüldü. Atopik dermatit ağırlığı SCORAD’a göre gruplanan hastalarda banyo ile yıkanma oranı duş almaya oranla yüksek saptandı (p=0,001). Kışın her gün yıkanma oranı SCORAD skor sonucu ağır dermatit ile uyumlu olanlarda; hafif ve orta olanlara (%22,45) göre daha yüksek saptandı (p=0,034). Nemlendirici kullanımı, sıklığı ve kullanılan ürünler ile AD ağırlığı arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmadı. Sonuç: Banyo şeklinde yıkanmanın duş almaya göre daha etkili olabileceği tespit edilmiştir. Atopik dermatit tedavisinde nemlendirici kullanımı ve ilaç tedavisine ek olarak yıkanma şekli ve kullanılan ürünler önem taşıyabilir, bu durum ayrıntılı değerlendirilmelidir.
