AI Article Synopsis
- Children with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) experience significant stress, and this study evaluated the Cellie Coping Kit as a potential resource for families to manage these challenges.
- The study found that over 90% of participants found the intervention easy to use and would recommend it to others, with more than 70% actively using the kit.
- While families reported learning new coping strategies, no significant changes were observed in coping or quality of life, indicating the need for further research to enhance the intervention's effectiveness.
Article Abstract
Children with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are faced with ongoing treatments that can impact their wellbeing. There are no evidence-based resources that families can implement independently to cope with EoE-related stressors. This study aimed to examine acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary outcomes of the newly developed Cellie Coping Kit for Children with EoE intervention. Forty child-caregiver dyads completed a baseline assessment (T1) and initiated the intervention; 30 (75%) child participants and 33 (82.5%) caregivers were retained to follow-up (T2). Of those who completed the T2 assessment, most reported that the intervention was easy to use (>90%) and would recommend the intervention to others (>90%). The intervention was feasible: >70% used the kit, and most indicated they would use it again (>75%). More than half of families reported learning new information and/or coping strategies. No statistically significant changes were identified in comparing T1 and T2 coping and health-related quality of life. These findings suggest that the Cellie Coping Kit for Children with EoE is a promising intervention in that it was well accepted, feasible, and helped many families learn novel strategies on how to manage EoE challenges. Future research should examine how to strengthen the intervention to achieve longer-term targeted outcomes.

Background: Injury is one of the most prevalent potentially emotionally traumatic events that children experience and can lead to persistent impaired physical and emotional health. There is a need for interventions that promote full physical and emotional recovery and that can be easily accessed by all injured children. Based on research evidence regarding post-injury recovery, we created the Cellie Coping Kit for Children with Injury intervention to target key mechanisms of action and refined the intervention based on feedback from children, families, and experts in the field.

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and its treatment can place physical and psychosocial strain on children and their families, underlining the need for behavioral and emotional support. Much of SCD is often managed at home, which may prevent children from obtaining supportive services from medical and psychosocial teams. Children with SCD report a restricted number of coping strategies specific to managing SCD and may benefit from education on adaptive coping.
