Summary

Hand eczema is a common disease which often gives a chronic course thus affecting many functions in daily life. The body of evidence related to self-management of chronic hand eczema is poor. Better methods to support self-management of patients with chronic hand eczema may potentially improve the prognosis of a disease which is both a tremendous burden to the individual and to the society. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effect of a newly designed guidance programme offering individual counselling compared to conventional information with written information sheets.

Conditions

  • Chronic Hand Eczema
  • Chronic Hand Dermatitis

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Healthy Skin Clinic

The intervention is founded upon three concurrent elements. Firstly, a SKIN-profile generated by data from a baseline questionnaire (S=Susceptibility, K=Competencies, I=Individual characteristics, N=Necessary precautions). Secondly, a patient self-management book which includes a patient's log and is offered in both an online and a physical form. Also support to self-management is offered through possible asynchronous communication and networking. Finally, a counselling consultation with a nurse, trained within dermatology.
