Resumen
Objetivo: Realizar una revisión integradora de estudios que aborden el impacto psicosocial y emocional de las alergias alimentarias en niños. Métodos: Este estudio es una revisión integradora. Se realizó una búsqueda en la base de datos de PubMed, lo que resultó en la identificación de 17 artículos relevantes. Resultados: Los hallazgos revelaron que los niños con alergias alimentarias a menudo enfrentan una carga significativa de desafíos psicosociales, lo que también afecta la salud mental de sus cuidadores. Una brecha identificada es la escasez de intervenciones específicas para ayudar a las personas con alergias alimentarias a enfrentar estos desafíos. Se examinaron varios métodos para evaluar el impacto en las interacciones sociales de estos niños y se demostró que son efectivos. Consideraciones finales: Se concluye que la búsqueda de intervenciones destinadas a mejorar la calidad de vida de los niños con alergias alimentarias y sus familias ha avanzado y ha arrojado resultados positivos. Sin embargo, todavía existe una falta significativa de apoyo emocional para muchos niños y adolescentes que lidian con alergias alimentarias.
