Abstract
After scoring the impact of caring for someone with AD, participants were asked to provide additional comments in free-text form on how AD caregiving has impacted their life. The time and attention given to the child with AD sometimes elicited feelings of jealously among other children, and several caregivers cited caregiving for AD as a major factor leading to divorce. Dear Editor, Family caregivers play an important role in the wellbeing of individuals with chronic health conditions but can experience psychological, behavioural and physiological effects that can impact their health.[[1], [3]] Atopic dermatitis (AD) (also known as eczema) is the most burdensome skin condition worldwide.[4] Because it is important to understand the range and nuances of caregiver impact, we sought to qualitatively summarize caregiver perspectives, an area that is understudied compared with patient impact in AD.[5] Data are taken from an international survey developed by patient advocacy groups and fielded online in 2019 as part of a US Food and Drug Administration patient-focused drug development initiative.
