Abstract：Objective To investigate the influence of the factors related to home skin care for children with atopic dermatitis(AD).Methods Using the convenience sampling method,the children with AD treated in the type 2 inflammation multidisciplinary clinic center in Affiliated Hospital of Shandong Second Medical University from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected to investigate the severity of the disease,and analyze the general data and factors related to home skin care using Logistic regression.Results Among 358 children with AD,there were 214(59.78％)mild cases,144(40.52％)moderate-severe cases.Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that among the factors of home skin care,use of cleaning products,bath time 5～10 min,soft-water bathing,bath water temperature＜38 ℃,bath frequency was greater than or equal to once a week,pH of cleaning products was neutral or weakly acidic,use of skin care products,weekly full-body skincare use ≥100 g,light colors for intimate apparel,and the replacement frequency was not more than 1 week/time,and post-application massage were protective factors for severity of AD in children(P＜0.05).The pH of cleaning products was weakly alkaline,and bath duration＞10 min were the risk factors for severity of AD in children(P＜0.05).Conclusion This study puts forward the protective factors and risk factors of home skin care for children with AD,which provide theoretical basis and evidence-based basis for the formulation of home skin care measures and education and guidance for AD children.
