Article Synopsis
- Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that impacts both patients and their caregivers mentally, and although intramuscular adrenaline is the recommended treatment, it's often not utilized as needed.
- The study involved 75 parents of children with severe food allergies who completed a questionnaire to evaluate their confidence in managing anaphylaxis and using adrenaline autoinjectors, leading to a five-factor model related to various aspects of anaphylaxis management.
- The developed questionnaire displayed high reliability and effectively gauges parental self-efficacy, helping clinicians pinpoint educational needs for better training and support in managing anaphylaxis situations.
