Purpose
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is prevalent among children and often requires family members to assume significant management responsibilities. Family management affects the child’s disease prognosis and health as well as the family’s functioning and overall quality of life. This integrative study aimed to identify the impact of AD on children and their families and examine child- and family-related factors that influence family management.
Methods
Guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA), a systematic search was conducted across five electronic databases (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PubMed, Web of Science, Research Information Sharing Service, and Korean Information Service System) for studies published between 2000 and May 2024. Studies were screened using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was used to evaluate methodological quality.
Results
In total, 1,144 records were identified, and 14 studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that the impact of AD extends to both children, who experience psychological distress, sleep disturbances, impaired academic performance, and negative self-image, and families, who face treatment challenges, disrupted routines, and economic burden. Factors influencing family management were categorized into child-related factors (developmental stage and disease severity) and family-related factors (family burden, social support, coping strategies, and concerns regarding topical steroid use).
Conclusion
Family management of pediatric AD is shaped by a complex interplay of child- and family-related factors. Therefore, interventions should be designed to strengthen coping resources, enhance social support, and reduce the management burden, promoting child well-being and family resilience.

Purpose
This study aimed to identify the effects of the mother-medical staff partnership on mothers’ condition management ability for children with chronic allergic diseases.
Methods
A total of 109 Korean mothers caring for a child with a chronic allergic diseases, identified according to the allergic march, such as food allergy, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and allergic asthma, were recruited from the pediatric department of a general hospital in Seoul through convenience sampling. Data were collected using structured self-reported questionnaires from August 1, 2017 to October 31, 2017. and analyzed by descriptive statistics and multiple regression using SPSS version 22.0.
Results
The Mother-medical staff partnership had a statistically significant effect on mothers’ condition management ability for children with chronic allergic diseases (p<.05). Among the general characteristics, satisfaction with nursing services had a statistically significant effect on mothers’ condition management ability (p<.05).
Conclusion
In conclusion, strategies to support children with chronic allergic diseases, as well as their caregivers, should consider the mother-medical staff partnership as part of a family-centered approach.

Purpose
The study purposes were to explore school nurses’ experience, perceived barriers, and education needs in diabetes management at school.
Methods
This study was a cross sectional study and the study participants were recruited conveniently at continuing education seminars for school nurses at Incheon Metropolitan City.
Results
Data for 101 school nurses were analyzed. The nurses were all women and their mean age was 46.9±9.3 years. About 66% of them had experience with children with diabetes at school. The school nurses reported that 74.6% of the students tested their blood glucose by themselves, the school clinic was the most common place for blood glucose tests (47.8%) and insulin injections (50.8%) and the nurses knew students’ diagnosis through the student health survey (58.2%). About half of the nurses (53.7%) reported that glucagon should be available at school and 49.2% were willing to inject glucagon when necessary. The most frequently reported barrier in diabetes management was role confusion (6.0±1.3) and the most common educational need was emergency responses (5.9±1.4).
Conclusions
School health policy for diabetes management and diabetes resources are necessary to minimize role confusion of school nurses, improve emergency response, and facilitate health promotion activities in diabetes management.

PURPOSE
Study purposes were to exam effects of self-care education for children with type 1 diabetes on their diabetes management behaviors and to explore the relationship among diabetes management behaviors, knowledge, self-efficacy and clinical variables.
METHODS
This study was a one group quasi-experimental study. Study participants were children with type 1 diabetes and attended a four hour self-care education of a diabetes camp. Data were collected using structured questionnaires including Diabetes Management Behavior Scale (DMBS), Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center's Brief Diabetes Knowledge Test and Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Self-Management.
RESULTS
The mean age of the participants was 12 (+/-2.3) years. After the education, their DMBS and knowledge improved, but the improvement was not statistically significant (t=1.758, p=.101; t=0.528, p=.606). Two areas of DMBS, daily prevention behaviors and modification of care plan, were associated with study variables. Daily prevention behaviors were associated with duration of diabetes (r=.653, p=.008), HbA1c (r=.563, p=.038) and having a complication (r=-2.788, p=.015). Modification of care plan was associated with age at diagnosis (r=-.552, p=.033).
CONCLUSION
Children with type 1 diabetes could improve some parts of their diabetes management behaviors even after a short diabetes camp.
