“…Van Oers et al [17] found that mothers of a chronically ill child (n = 566) scored significantly higher than the reference group (p < 0.001) on anxiety (mean 5.9 vs. 4.8) and depression (mean 4.5 vs. 3.1). Fathers (n = 123) had higher depression scores (mean 4.5 vs. 3.6; p < 0.05).…”

Approximately 5-20% of children worldwide suffer from atopic dermatitis (AD), a kind of dermatitis characterized as an inflammatory, relapsing, noncontagious and itchy skin disorder. Children often develop AD during their first year of life. An increased rate of sensitization to both food and aeroallergens has been shown to coexist in patients with AD. Sensitization to well-known allergens such as cow's milk protein can occur on average in 50% of children with AD. In general, quality of life (QoL) is perceived as the quality of an individual's daily life, that is, an assessment of their well-being or lack thereof. QoL is a broad concept that includes such things as standard of living, community, and family life. Patients with skin diseases experience a wide range of symptoms ranging from trivial problems to major handicaps which affect their lives. The misery of living with AD cannot be overstated for it may have a profoundly negative effect on the health-related QoL of children and their families in many cases. Physicians taking care of children with AD should consult parents on how their child's illness has impacted their lifestyle and recommend professional intervention if deemed necessary.

“…Findings suggest that after a diagnosis of SCII, parents suffer increased psychological distress (Bruce, 2006;Hall et al, 2006;Pai et al, 2007), are at higher risk of developing symptoms of depression and anxiety (Doherty et al, 2009;van Oers et al, 2014), and may be at risk for persisting psychiatric morbidity (Bryant, Creamer, O'Donnell, Silove, & McFarlane, 2012).…”

A systematic review of the literature investigating the early traumatic stress responses in parents of children diagnosed with a serious illness/injury. A literature review was conducted (September 2013) using Medline, PsycINFO, and CINAHL databases. Twenty-four studies related to parents of children hospitalized due to diagnosis of cancer, type 1 diabetes, meningococcal disease, trauma or serious injury, preterm birth and other serious illnesses requiring admission to intensive care were included. Parents were assessed for early traumatic stress symptoms within 3 months of their child's diagnosis/hospitalization. Prevalence rates of acute stress disorder in parents ranged from 12 to 63%. Prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder ranged from 8 to 68%. Variability was related to methodological factors including differences in study design, timing of assessments, measurement tools, and scoring protocols. Psychosocial factors rather than medical factors predicted parent distress. This review integrates and compares early traumatic reactions in parents with children suffering a range of serious illnesses. Findings suggest a high prevalence of acute and posttraumatic stress symptoms in parents. Methodological inconsistencies made comparison of early traumatic stress prevalence rates difficult. Risk factors associated with traumatic stress symptoms were identified.

“…Furthermore, sleep disturbance is associated with intense pruritus worsening at night (Williams, 1999). Chronic disease progression in children requires considerable parental care and, due to this, parents can experience very high levels of anxiety and depression (van Oers, 2014). Parents sleep with their children at night to prevent pruritus-induced scratching which may lead to bleeding and infection.…”

Purpose: This study was performed to identify the effects of child's atopic dermatitis (AD) on sleep duration and their moder's suicidal ideation. Methods:The subjects were 2,845 mothers of preadolescent and adolescent children who participated in the 6 th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VI; 2013 and2015). The data gathered were analyzed with a chi-square test and logistic regression using the SPSS 18.0 program for Windows.Results: With respect to the effect of a child's AD on maternal sleep duration and suicidal ideation , sleep duration was statistically and significantly lower in mothers of children with AD (OR=1.477 in Model 1, OR= 1.552 in Model 2 and OR=1.547 in Model 3) than in mothers of children without AD. ) Although not statistically significant, suicidal ideation was higher in mothers of affected children (OR=1.348 in Model 1, OR=1.414, p=.252 in Model 2 and OR=1.109 in Model 3) than in mothers of non-affected children. Conclusion:Mothers of children affected by atopic dermatitis suggest the development of nursing interventions for health maintenance because they can not rule out the possibility of depression or suicidal thoughts due to sleep disorders.
