Abstract
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, pruritic inflammatory skin disease occurring most frequently among children... The adverse consequences of atopic dermatitis on children have been well-documented... Previous studies indicate that atopic dermatitis has a variety of impacts on the families of children with atopic dermatitis as well as the children themselves. Therefore the purpose of this study was to analyze in detail what “the family impact of childhood atopic dermatitis” might be. We conducted a scoping review based on the steps of “concept analysis.” Throughout the review, we determined the concept's defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences, and by the greater understanding of these, potentially lead to better development of nursing interventions and childrearing support. Furthermore, we considered the potential for improving the QoL of patients with atopic dermatitis, who are expected to increase in the future
