Parents of children with immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergies (FA) at risk of anaphylaxis may experience an increased psychosocial burden. Thus, integrating psychosocial support for parents into FA management is essential. Previous psychosocial interventions have demonstrated positive effects for caregivers of children with FA. This study aimed to implement a comprehensive online pilot program for caregivers of children aged 2-8 years diagnosed with FA that carries a risk of anaphylaxis. The primary objectives related to the intervention were to assess quantitative changes in FA-specific parental self-efficacy and burden, stress, and well-being; explore qualitatively the parents' experiences; and evaluate overall impressions.
