Qualitative analysis of perceived impacts on childhood food allergy on caregiver mental health and lifestyle
Abstract
Background Approximately 8% of children have food allergy. Yet, little is known about how parents cope with the burden of this disease. Objective This study aimed to describe the perceptions of food allergy-related mental health issues of parents of children with food allergy. Methods Parents of children with pediatric allergist-diagnosed food allergy were recruited through allergy clinics and education centers in a large Canadian city. We used content analysis to identify overarching themes. Results We interviewed 21 parents with children (boys [13/21; 62.9%]) aged younger than 12 months to 16 years.

Parents of children with a single food allergy spoke of "accommodation and adaptation." In contrast, parents of children with multiple food allergies described "anxiety and isolation" and spoke of being "depressed" and "terrified" about leaving their children in the care of others who may not be equipped to handle food allergy. Many parents felt "overwhelmed and alone," especially if they lacked support from extended family and/or their social circle.

Finally, a small group of parents reported that "…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
