Abstract

An educational program for atopic dermatitis patients was started in Hokkaido University Hospital in March of 2000. In this report, we evaluated and analyzed 100 patients (53 males and 47 females) with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis who participated in the program. The program consisted of consultations, treatment, and lectures on atopic dermatitis from both dermatologists and nurses during two week stays in the hospital. Participants completed questionnaires at the time of administration, discharge, and three months after discharge to assess the program. The severity of the skin lesions in all patients were significantly improved at the time of discharge. The majority of the patients were satisfied with this program. Patients who were unwilling to use corticosteroid ointments at the time of admittance accepted their use when required at the time of discharge. Patients who had used inappropriate treatments such as non-medical agents, which made their conditions more serious, discontinued their use after participating this program. After discharge, the patients maintained their imrpoved skin condition by optimizing self-management, applying ointment appropriately, and/or keeping their house clean. In conclusion, this educational administration program helps atopic dermatitis patients to better understand their disease and help in its control, resulting in an improved quality of life.
