title: Behavior modification: a nursing approach for young children with atopic eczema.
abstract: Managing atopic eczema represents one of the most challenging aspects of dermatology nursing, especially in children. A main contributing factor to the difficulty in management is the unrelenting pruritus experienced by sufferers. A practice model for behavior modification can be an effective nursing strategy in the management of pruritus and scratch associated with atopic eczema.
