Abstract

Background: Moisturizers play an important role in restoring the skin barrier. They should be used to treat and prevent eczema, especially in atopic dermatitis (AD).

Objective: To evaluate the factors that influence selection of moisturizers in adult patients with AD and without it. Usage behavior between the two groups was also determined.

Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey was performed.

Results: A total of 1,195 participants with mean age of 46.5 ± 14.5 were enrolled. Fifty participants (4.2%) met the William's criteria for AD diagnosis. Most participants reported using moisturizer every day or two times per day. A non-sticky moisturizer, followed by pleasant odor were considered important properties. For choosing a moisturizer, personal satisfaction was the most common answer given by participants. The most common locations that participants applied moisturizer were the extremities (85.1%) and face (84.9%). Physicians' suggestion was also a significant factor that led to moisturizer use by AD patients but it was not significant in the non-AD group (29.2% vs 14.7%, p = 0.007, OR 2.4). A pH of 5.5 and the anti-inflammatory property were important factors in choosing a moisturizer in the AD group. Both AD and non-AD participants preferred liquid soap over bar soap in daily life.

Conclusions: Our results showed that most participants have basic knowledge of how to use a moisturizer. Physicians' suggestion influenced the selection of moisturizer in AD patients. Thus, physicians should continue to educate in order to achieve good clinical outcomes.

一项关于泰国患有和不患有特应性皮炎的成年人使用润肤霜行为的网络调查。

润肤霜在修复皮肤屏障方面起着重要作用。它们应用于治疗和预防湿疹，特别是在特应性皮炎(AD)。目的探讨影响成年AD患者和非AD患者润肤霜选择的因素。两组之间的使用行为也被确定。方法采用基于网络的横断面调查方法。结果共入组1195人，平均年龄46.5±14.5岁。50名参与者(4.2%)符合威廉氏AD诊断标准。大多数参与者报告每天或每天两次使用润肤霜。一种不粘的保湿剂，其次是令人愉快的气味，被认为是重要的特性。在选择润肤霜时，个人满意度是参与者给出的最常见的答案。参与者使用保湿霜最常见的部位是四肢(85.1%)和面部(84.9%)。医生的建议也是导致AD患者使用润肤霜的重要因素，但在非AD组中不显著(29.2% vs 14.7%， p = 0.007, OR 2.4)。pH值5.5和抗炎性能是AD组选择润肤霜的重要因素。AD参与者和非AD参与者在日常生活中都更喜欢液体肥皂而不是肥皂。结论调查结果显示，大多数参与者对润肤霜的使用有基本的了解。医生的建议影响了AD患者对润肤霜的选择。因此，医生应该继续教育，以取得良好的临床效果。

期刊介绍： ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
