TI  - Parental confidence in managing food allergy: development and validation of the 
      Food Allergy Self-Efficacy Scale for Parents (FASE-P).

AB  - BACKGROUND: Food allergy is often a life-long condition that requires constant 
      vigilance to prevent accidental exposure and avoid potentially life-threatening 
      symptoms. Parents' confidence in managing their child's food allergy may relate 
      to the poor quality of life anxiety and worry reported by parents of 
      food-allergic children. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop and 
      validate the first scale to measure parental confidence (self-efficacy) in 
      managing food allergy in their child. METHODS: The Food Allergy Self-Efficacy 
      Scale for Parents (FASE-P) was developed through interviews with 53 parents, 
      consultation of the literature and experts in the area. The FASE-P was then 
      completed by 434 parents of food-allergic children from a general population 
      sample in addition to the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), the Food Allergy 
      Quality of Life Parental Burden Scale (FAQL-PB), the General Health 
      Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) and the Food Allergy Impact Measure (FAIM). A total of 
      250 parents completed the retest of the FASE-P. RESULTS: Factor and reliability 
      analysis resulted in a 21-item scale with five subscales. The overall scale and 
      subscales have good to excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha of 
      0.63-0.89), and the scale is stable over time. There were low to moderate 
      significant correlations with the GSES, FAIM and GHQ-12 and strong correlations 
      with the FAQL-PB, with better parental confidence relating to better general 
      self-efficacy, better quality of life and better mental health in the parent. 
      Poorer self-efficacy was related to egg and milk allergy; self-efficacy was not 
      related to severity of allergy. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The FASE-P is 
      a reliable and valid scale for use with parents from a general population. Its 
      application within clinical settings could aid provision of advice and improve 
      targeted interventions by identifying areas where parents have less confidence in 
      managing their child's food allergy.
