Résumé
Emollients are used as maintenance therapy for all severities of eczema but there is a lack of head-to-head comparisons of effectiveness and acceptability. To determine the validity of a self-report questionnaire designed to assess user satisfaction with a given emollient and to report the findings. Data were analysed from the Choice of Moisturiser for Eczema Treatment trial, which compared four emollient types (Aveeno Data from 77.2% (152 of 197) of participants were analysed. One item was rejected because of a high rate (44.7%) of 'don't know' responses, leaving seven items with high completion rates (98.7%) and weak evidence of floor or ceiling effects. A positive association was observed between total score and overall emollient satisfaction (Spearman correlation 0.78; P < 0.001). Total scores were highest (mean ± SD 23.5 ± 3.9) in the lotion group and lowest (18.4 ± 4.6) in the ointment group. The emollient satisfaction questionnaire appears to have good validity. Further work is required to validate the questionnaire in other settings and to assess its reliability.
