The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of diaper dermatitis (DD), knowledge of DD prevention and treatment, and diaper hygiene practices among mothers with diaper-wearing children.
The participants were 176 mothers who presented to an outpatient clinic at a children's hospital with diaper-wearing children. Data were collected using a structured self-administered questionnaire.
The percent of correct answer for knowledge about DD was 59.7%. Almost half of the participants' children had experienced at least 1 episode of DD during the last 6 months. Inappropriate diaper hygiene practices, such as using talcum powder on DD and rubbing with a dry towel after cleansing, were reported. Moreover, only 37% of mothers used the recommended skin barrier to prevent DD. Although many children suffer from DD, levels of educational experience and perceived need for education on this topic were low. Almost 70% of mothers obtained DD-related information through internet sites.
Educating parents about the etiology of DD and evidence-based diaper hygiene practices is an important aspect of effective DD prevention and treatment. Internet sites or smartphone apps may be effective methods for education on DD prevention and treatment considering parents' preferences for ways to obtain health information.
本研究旨在调查有穿尿布孩子的母亲中尿布皮炎（DD）的患病率、DD预防和治疗知识以及尿布卫生习惯。
研究对象为176名带着穿尿布孩子到儿童医院门诊就诊的母亲。数据通过结构化的自填问卷收集。
关于DD知识的正确答案百分比为59.7%。近一半参与者的孩子在过去6个月中至少经历过1次DD发作。报告了不适当的尿布卫生习惯，如在DD上使用滑石粉以及清洁后用干毛巾擦拭。此外，只有37%的母亲使用推荐的皮肤屏障来预防DD。尽管许多孩子患有DD，但关于该主题的教育经历水平和感知到的教育需求较低。近70%的母亲通过网站获取与DD相关的信息。
向家长传授DD的病因及循证尿布卫生习惯是有效预防和治疗DD的重要方面。考虑到家长对获取健康信息方式的偏好，网站或智能手机应用程序可能是进行DD预防和治疗教育的有效方法。
