“…They reported a significant increase in knowledge scores at post‐test, concluding that the provision of information via media outlets was effective. Three studies presented information through varying formats: one through running two face‐to‐face workshops, another through showing participants’ educational videos and the final through providing engagement with a 2‐week online programme (consisting of interactive question and answer sessions and discussion threads) 10,28,30 . Despite the variation in presentation format and length of intervention, all studies reported increases in food allergy knowledge in participants between pre‐test and post‐test measures, as well as reported high levels of satisfaction.…”

Background: Studies have identified that food allergy (FA) in children is related to poorer caregiver quality of life (QoL). However, it is unclear which interventions are most effective at improving outcomes for caregivers of children with FA. This review aimed to identify and determine the efficacy, acceptability and quality of interventions for caregivers of children with FA. Methods: A systematic search of four databases was conducted to identify studies evaluating any intervention that targeted well-being and support of caregivers of children with FA. Studies were not excluded based on design and were rated for quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) and the Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Results: Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria: eight studies used a pre-test/posttest design, four studies used a post-test design, two studies used an RCT design, and one study used a case-control design. Seven studies were educational interventions, five were psychological interventions, and three involved peer/professional support. All interventions had high participant acceptability; some evidence for cognitive behavioural interventions in supporting mothers was observed. Educational interventions tended to be associated with improvements in FA knowledge. With the

“…[ 6 ] Group-based interventions have provided positive outcomes with respect to parental psychological distress and satisfaction. [ 16 , 17 ] Family workshops, such as those for educating the families of children with food allergies, [ 39 ] changing dietary and physical activity habits in low-income families, [ 40 ] supporting children with autism and other disabilities, [ 17 ] and integrating pediatric mental health care, [ 41 ] have provided knowledge, comfort, and satisfaction for many families. To our knowledge, we are the first to design a family-centered workshop conducted by parents alongside health and education professionals for children younger than 3 years with developmental delays.…”

This study investigated the effects of a short-term family-centered workshop for children with developmental delays.This study was conducted in a rehabilitation outpatient clinic of a teaching hospital. We recruited 30 children with developmental delays and their parents as the study group and 57 age- and sex-matched children with typical development and their parents as the control group. The workshop was conducted for the children with developmental delays and their parents in the form of one 2-hour session per week for 6 weeks by health and education professionals by using a family-centered multidisciplinary approach. The Mandarin-Chinese Communicative Developmental Inventory and Peabody Developmental Motor Scales–Second Edition were used to assess the communication and motor skills of the children with developmental delays. The parent form of the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument, Child Health Questionnaire, Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) Inventory, and PedsQL Family Impact Module were administered to the parents of both groups.On study commencement, no significant differences were noted in functional performance and family impact between the children with developmental delays and those without delays. The children with developmental delays had lower health and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores than the children with typical development. Following the workshop, the study group exhibited significant improvements in physical health (94.2 vs 80.2, effect size: 1.00, P = .026), global function (94.8 vs 78.7, effect size: 0.88, P = .006), impact of the child's health on parental HRQOL (85.0 vs 70.4, effect size: 0.81, P = .043), and parental HRQOL (81.3 vs 65.0, effect size: 0.81, P = .015). No significant differences were recorded in function, health, HRQOL, or family impact between the children with developmental delays and those with typical development after 6 weeks.The multidisciplinary short-term family-centered workshop for children with developmental delays improved the children's physical health and global functional skills, and it reduced the impact of the child's health on parental HRQOL while also improving parental HRQOL.

Background: The increasing prevalence of food allergy affects both patients and their families. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of an online educational program designed for parents and caregivers of children with food allergies. The program was developed by a multidisciplinary group comprising health care professionals, researchers, and expert patients under the participatory medicine model. Material and Methods: Participants took a 2-week online educational program covering major topics in food allergy management. General knowledge about the disease, symptoms, treatment, and topics relevant to families' daily lives were evaluated. The contents included educational videos, online forums, and live video chats. A pretest/posttest questionnaire survey was used to evaluate the impact of the program. Results: A total of 207 participants enrolled in the educational program, which was completed by 130 (62.8%). Knowledge acquisition improved significantly following participation in the program in 15 out of 30 items (50%), reaching P<.001 for 8 items (26.7%). Of the 207 participants who started the program, 139 (67.1%) visited online forums, and 27.5% attended video chats. Average overall satisfaction with the educational program was 8.78 (on a scale of 0 to 10). Conclusions: The results obtained show that parents improved their knowledge in all areas of food allergy. The high level of satisfaction among participants suggests that digital learning tools are effective and motivational, enabling patients to acquire appropriate knowledge and thus increasing their quality of life.
