In a previous part of this study, we created educational modules about the psychodermatology of inflammatory skin conditions, with a particular emphasis on atopic dermatitis, for patients. These modules will empower patients to better manage both the psychological and physical aspects of their skin conditions. As part of this project, we aim to conduct a clinical trial to determine the effectiveness of these modules on eczema severity and health-related quality of life in patients. We hope to use these findings to develop and disseminate accessible educational material on the psychological aspects of dermatologic care.
