Qualitative study of having young child with FA
« on: February 15, 2012, 09:05:35 PM »
A qualitative investigation into the maternal experience of having a young child with severe food allergy

Quote
Conclusion: Mothers in this study shared similar concerns to mothers of children with other chronic illnesses. It is recommended that the experience of allergy should be viewed in the wider family context with specific consideration given to parental coping and anxiety. Services could better meet the psychological and social needs of those affected by allergy.
