Resumo

Abstract: The functional analysis is an effective way to identify maintaining contingencies of childhood behavior considered problematic. For children with atopic dermatitis, noncompliance is a common parent’s complaint, often considered a problem behavior. This study aimed to examine the effects of parental attention and escape in noncompliance behavior of children with atopic dermatitis in a medical treatment situation. The study evaluated this behavior in four typically developing 3 ? to 7 ? year ? old children with atopic dermatitis and their mothers, according to a single case multielement experimental design. Participants’ behaviors were observed in three conditions of evaluation: baseline, attention and escape. The functional analysis of interactions allowed showing that, each child presents different answers under the control of similar contingencies (attention/ escape). Keywords: functional analysis; escape; attention; noncompliance; medical treatment.
