“…In addition, parents of children with AD experience sleep disturbance, exhaustion, frustration, and worry owing to their child's disease. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] These and other effects on both the child and parent can be measured with comprehensive QOL scales. Published scales for this purpose include the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index, the Dermatitis Family Impact Scale, the Infants' Dermatitis Quality of Life Index, and the Parents' Index of Quality of Life for Atopic Dermatitis.…”

“…Evidence of maternal behaviour and attitudes which do not match and satisfy the needs of the child (authoritarian style, rigidity and distance) [15]is opposed by evidence of positive emphatic attitudes towards the child and even permissive behaviour [13]. Different methodological approaches, assessment of different age groups and lack of control for age effects and social differences in the families in some of the studies are probably responsible for these contradictions.…”

“…While several of these studies agreed in showing enormous emotional strain on parents with affected children [13, 14, 15], the findings concerning educational style and child-rearing attitudes of the mothers showed only weak consistency [13, 14, 15, 16, 17]. Evidence of maternal behaviour and attitudes which do not match and satisfy the needs of the child (authoritarian style, rigidity and distance) [15]is opposed by evidence of positive emphatic attitudes towards the child and even permissive behaviour [13].…”

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common disease of childhood. It frequently starts in the first year of life. There is agreement on the existence of psychological influences on this disease. Although some studies in this field examine aspects of the parent-child relationship, studies concerning early infancy are very rare. The present study was conducted in order to find out whether maternal characteristics relevant to the mother-infant relationship, i.e. depressiveness/hopelessness, child-rearing attitudes and perceived infant behaviour, associated with infant AD. Methods: Two cohorts (3- to 4-month- and 10- to 12-month-old infants), each with 20 infants suffering from AD, and 20 healthy infants were recruited. AD infants were further divided into subgroups according to the diagnostic criteria: atopic family history, itching and characteristic locations of eczema. After a paediatric examination of the infant, mothers completed standardized questionnaires concerning depressiveness/hopelessness, child-rearing attitudes and perception of infant behaviour. Results: Varying with different diagnostic features of the infants’ AD, mothers of AD infants described themselves as more depressive/hopeless, as more anxious/overprotective and characterized their infant as less frequently positive and more frequently negative in its emotional behaviour compared to the control group. Conclusion: The results underline the importance of psychological support for mothers of infants with AD.
