This paper outlines a protocol for an experimental study that evaluates the effectiveness of a psychosocial empowerment program for children with eczema and their parent caregivers. Method: A multi-center randomized controlled trial is proposed, where parent–child dyads are randomized into two arms: an intervention group and wait-list control group. The intervention is delivered to participants in a parallel group format based on the Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit model which focuses on holistic well-being. Quality of life is measured before and after the intervention is provided, and five weeks after the intervention has been completed. Discussion: The suggested model fills a research gap in existing interventions, and provides new knowledge by evaluating the effectiveness of a tailored psychosocial intervention, delivered in group settings, for parent–child dyads affected by eczema.enEczemaChildrenParent CaregiversIntegrative Body-Mind-SpiritPsychosocialInterventionProtocol for psychosocial interventions based on Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit (IBMS) model for children with eczema and their parent caregiversPeer Reviewed Journal Article10.1080/23761407.2018.1545618
