Abstract
CALVETTI, Prisla Ücker; MOITOSO, Gisele Schmidt; BAJA, Jamila Usama and PEREIRA, Karini Reis. Neuropsychological and socioemotional aspects in children with atopic dermatitis. Psic., Saúde & Doenças [online]. 2019, vol.20, n.1, pp.47-58. ISSN 1645-0086. https://doi.org/10.15309/19psd200104.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial disease that causes inflammation of the skin and leads to the appearance of lesions and itching. The aim of this study was to investigate the neuropsychological and socioemotional development of children with AD and their parents. A literature review was conducted using the SciELO, PubMed and LILACS databases, including articles in English and Portuguese published since 2001. We selected 23 articles: 13 on the relationship between AD and the children's psychophysiological and socioemotional factors, 10 on the disease's impact on their parents. It was found that AD has a negative influence on the child's quality of life and sleep quality and is related to symptoms of anxiety and other psychological disorders. The studies found positive effects from all parental education programs. It was found that the psychophysiological aspects presented by both children and their parents need to be considered during treatment.
