Eczema: Impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL)
OPTIMISING MOISTURISER USE IN CHILDHOOD ECZEMA
Parents and carers of a child with eczema may experience anxiety and depression, exhaustion, frustration, feelings of guilt and helplessness, sleep deprivation and unstable relationships by being awakened or through needing to provide reassurance or medications to their child.9
Research has shown that eczema may have a greater impact on HRQoL than several other conditions.10
Don’t worry, you can come back and finish the assessment in your own time.
