This article reviews the unmet needs of patients with food allergies. Anxiety is common among patients with food allergies and their caregivers, which naturally stems from the avoidance, exposure, and uncertainty involved in care. Anxiety associated with allergen avoidance can have both adaptive and detrimental effects on overall health. Anxiety has implications for transitioning the responsibility of health and well-being from caregivers to the patients. As more children with food allergies become adults with food allergies, this will be an urgent topic. Moreover, as more exposure-based therapies become available, understanding patients' psychological expectations and experiences of exposure is vital.
本文综述了食物过敏患者的未满足需求。食物过敏患者及其照护者普遍存在焦虑，这主要源于照护过程中所涉及的回避、接触和不确定性。与过敏原回避相关的焦虑对整体健康既有适应性影响，也有不利影响。焦虑对将健康和福祉的责任从照护者转移到患者身上有影响。随着越来越多的食物过敏儿童成长为食物过敏成人，这将是一个紧迫的话题。此外，随着更多基于暴露的疗法的出现，了解患者对暴露的心理预期和体验至关重要。
