| dc.description.abstract | Through the 8 participating pharmacies, 188 patients were invited for participation. Of these 39 patients
completed the survey. More than half of these patients gained knowledge about AD and its treatment due to the
information booklet. The majority of the patients found the booklet easy to understand. Additionally, many
patients felt adequately assisted by the pharmacy technician and found them well-informed. However, some
patients were concerned about potential side effects or about applying an insufficient amount of TCS.
The information booklet used in this study was easy for the patients to understand, and they gained
knowledge about AD and its treatment. It is important for pharmacy technicians, when discussing the
information booklet with the patient, to pay close attention to the side effects and application instructions. | |

| dc.subject | Despite availability of diverse therapies for atopic dermatitis (AD), many patients appear to be
undertreated. One of the reasons for undertreatment is that patients have insufficient knowledge due to lack of
(uniform) information and education from healthcare providers. This research project aimed to investigate patients’ experiences with a newly developed patient information booklet for the treatment of AD in community pharmacies | |
