“…Our results are not consistent with previous reviews of psychological interventions that included parents of children with diabetes, which reported positive effects on child symptoms and family functioning (Armour 2005; Grey 2000; Harris 2010; McBroom 2009). Previous reviews of psychological interventions that included parents of children with asthma or skin diseases were inconclusive due to lack of trials that met inclusion criteria (Ersser 2007; Yorke 2009). Notably, disagreements between the present meta-analysis and previous reviews may be attributed to differences in inclusion criteria, selection of outcome measures and/or selection of comparator group.…”

“…After reading the remaining articles in full, four were excluded because their intervention was mainly non-educational (10)(11)(12)(13), five on the grounds of absence of a QoL outcome parameter (14)(15)(16)(17)(18), and a further five because they turned out to be non-randomised studies (19)(20)(21)(22)(23). Searching the references used in a systematic review on atopic dermatitis by Errser et al (24) yielded one additional publication (25). Ultimately, our search yielded ten articles that satisfied the inclusion criteria (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34).…”

The negative impact of skin disease on quality of life (QoL) has been described in many studies. Patient education as an adjunct to treatment, with the aim of improving QoL and reducing disease severity, is a relatively new technique in dermatology. The objective of this article is to analyse and summarise evidence concerning the effects of patient education on QoL and disease severity in patients with chronic skin diseases. All source material was identified through searches in MEDLINE and Embase. The CONSORT statement was used to assess the quality of reported randomised controlled studies. Ten of 254 studies met the inclusion criteria. In five of them, statistically significant improvements in QoL were reported. The severity of skin disease significantly improved in three studies. In conclusion, patient education appears to be effective in improving QoL and in reducing the perceived severity of skin disease.

“…Su tratamiento es complejo pues incluye modificaciones en el estilo de vida, identificación constante de los factores predisponentes y el uso de agentes antiinflamatorios durante los brotes. 1,4 No es raro que los pacientes tengan conceptos erróneos acerca de la enfermedad o de su tratamiento, eso los conduce a restar importancia al cumplimiento de su tratamiento y a la consecuente falla terapéutica.…”
