Abstract

Objective: Caregiver perceived food allergy severity is associated with food allergy burden, while caregiver food allergy self-efficacy has been linked to improved quality of life for caregivers. This study examined the mediating effect of caregiver food allergy self-efficacy on the relationship between perceived food allergy severity and caregiver food allergy burden.

Methods: Caregivers of children diagnosed with IgE-mediated food allergy were recruited from pediatric allergy clinics to complete demographic and medical questionnaires, the Food Allergy Independent Measure-Parent Form, the Food Allergy Self-Efficacy Scale for Parents, and the Food Allergy Quality of Life-Parental Burden. Hayes' PROCESS was utilized to test mediation analysis. The TREND checklist is available in the Supplementary Materials section.

Results: Analyses consisted of 94 caregivers of children (Mage = 11.72 years, 52.7% male, 34.0% Black). Caregiver food allergy self-efficacy mediated the relationship between perceived food allergy severity and caregiver food allergy burden, B = 0.16, SE = 0.07, CI (0.04-0.33).

Conclusions: Caregiver food allergy self-efficacy may play an important role in food allergy psychosocial functioning. Interventions targeting self-efficacy could reduce caregiver food allergy burden. Future research should explore additional psychosocial and medical factors to better tailor food allergy interventions to the family's unique needs.

照顾者食物过敏自我效能解释了感知食物过敏严重程度与负担之间的关系。

目的：照顾者感知的食物过敏严重程度与食物过敏负担有关，而照顾者食物过敏自我效能感与照顾者生活质量的改善有关。本研究考察了照顾者食物过敏自我效能感在食物过敏严重程度感知与照顾者食物过敏负担之间的中介作用。方法：从儿科过敏门诊招募被诊断为ige介导的食物过敏患儿的照顾者，填写人口统计和医学调查问卷、《食物过敏独立测量-父母表》、《父母食物过敏自我效能量表》和《食物过敏生活质量-父母负担》。采用Hayes’s PROCESS对中介分析进行检验。TREND清单可在补充材料部分找到。结果：分析对象为94名儿童照顾者（年龄11.72岁，男性52.7%，黑人34.0%）。照顾者食物过敏自我效能感在食物过敏严重程度感知与照顾者食物过敏负担之间起中介作用，B = 0.16, SE = 0.07， CI（0.04 ~ 0.33）。结论：照顾者食物过敏自我效能感可能在食物过敏心理社会功能中起重要作用。以自我效能为目标的干预措施可以减轻照顾者的食物过敏负担。未来的研究应该探索额外的社会心理和医学因素，以更好地根据家庭的独特需求定制食物过敏干预措施。
