Current estimates indicate that 4% to 8% of children in the United States are diagnosed with food allergy, and more than 40% of US children with food allergy experience severe allergic reactions. Families trying to avoid foods that may trigger an allergic reaction and ensure adequate treatment of allergic reactions that do occur face numerous challenges. The rise in the number of children diagnosed with food allergies underscores the importance of food allergy-related interventions to address elevated psychosocial concerns, such as parenting stress, anxiety, and worries about bullying. This review provides an overview of common psychosocial concerns among children with food allergy and their families across the developmental spectrum, and offers guidance to medical providers regarding the identification and treatment of food allergy-related psychosocial challenges.
目前的估计表明，美国4%至8%的儿童被诊断患有食物过敏，超过40%的美国食物过敏儿童会经历严重过敏反应。试图避免食用可能引发过敏反应的食物并确保对确实发生的过敏反应进行充分治疗的家庭面临诸多挑战。被诊断患有食物过敏的儿童数量的增加凸显了与食物过敏相关的干预措施对于解决日益增加的心理社会问题（如育儿压力、焦虑和对欺凌的担忧）的重要性。本综述概述了不同发育阶段食物过敏儿童及其家庭中常见的心理社会问题，并为医疗服务提供者提供了有关识别和治疗与食物过敏相关的心理社会挑战的指导。
