Efficacy of the integrative Body-Mind-Spirit group intervention for improving quality of life in parent-child dyads adjusting to atopic dermatitis: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common childhood inflammatory skin problem affecting 15%-30% of children. Although AD adversely impacts the psychosocial well-being of children and their parent caregivers, parents' psychosocial well-being is seldom mentioned in most non-pharmacological education programmes. A family-based psychosocial intervention, Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit (I-BMS) intervention, is examined. This study compares the efficacy of two versions of the I-BMS intervention (one delivered to both parents and children; one delivered to parents only) with a health education active control (delivered to parents only) in promoting adaptive emotional regulation and quality of life of children with AD and their parent caregivers.
