“…To normalise behaviour around food, parents need to be vigilant, yet guard against inadvertently creating an environment of fear, as this can impact self-confidence in their children and lead to social withdrawal and abnormal eating patterns. 6 , 7 One starting point is to improve health literacy across the community to engender support and awareness as health messages can influence behaviour. 5 , 8 …”

Introduction Food allergy affects up to 10% of Australian children, and living with food allergic children can be challenging for parents. This study explored parental perceptions and knowledge as they navigate a new reality of keeping their child safe. Methods Parents of children with food allergies completed an online food allergy survey in 2015. Questions explored health knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) as well as quality of life (QoL) through the inclusion of the Food Allergy Quality of Life — Parental Burden instrument (FAQL-PB). Notification of the survey included advertisements to more than 700 randomly selected Australia-wide preschools, 44 allergy specialists, and Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia. Responses were tabulated and analysed. Results Of the 400 participants who logged on, 357 commenced the survey and 318 finished. Questionnaire analysis showed that 44.1% of parents (n = 135) hesitated to use an adrenaline auto-injector and may be influenced by a classification system where symptom severity is not universally understood. While 79% would sign up to a national Anaphylaxis Registry, intention to participate in clinical trials using vaccines was disclosed by only 56%. Allergen labelling and community acceptance continue to be the most challenging aspects of managing a food allergy, and 50% of parents reported that food allergy played a role in choosing a preschool or primary school. Overall, quality of life for participants was influenced more by gender (male) and age of the child than where they lived — capital city or regional location; however, regional participants were more frustrated over lack of appreciation relating to the seriousness of food allergy (p = 0.010). Conclusion Results highlight the need for educational strategies for both the food allergy community and public, particularly in regional areas, since there is a perceived lack of appreciation as to the seriousness of food allergy. Educational resources and relevant networks are required to support parents and caregivers in the management of children with food allergy.

“…This is particularly relevant in the context of nutrition interventions due to the social and emotional significance of food [94]. It is critical to consider that adhering to new dietary and/or lifestyle restrictions can be isolating, contributing to loneliness and acting as a barrier to socialisation [95]. Therefore, it is essential that clinical trials monitor patient-reported life impact outcomes such as social and emotional wellbeing to accurately assess the long-term sustainability and appropriateness of such interventions [96].…”

Standardised Outcome Reporting for the Nutrition Management of Complex Chronic Disease: A Rapid Review

et al. 2021

Individuals with coexisting chronic diseases or with complex chronic disease are among the most challenging and costly patients to treat, placing a growing demand on healthcare systems. Recommending effective treatments, including nutrition interventions, relies on standardised outcome reporting from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to enable data synthesis. This rapid review sought to determine how the scope and consistency of the outcomes reported by RCTs investigating nutrition interventions for the management of complex chronic disease compared to what is recommended by the core outcome sets (COS) for individual disease states. Peer-reviewed RCTs published between January 2010 and July 2020 were systematically sourced from PubMed, CINAHL and Embase, and COS were sourced from the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurements (ICHOM) and the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) database. A total of 45 RCTs (43 studies) and 7 COS were identified. Outcomes were extracted from both the RCTs and COS and were organised using COMET Taxonomy Core Areas. A total of 66 outcomes and 439 outcome measures were reported by the RCTs. The RCTs demonstrated extensive outcome heterogeneity, with only five outcomes (5/66, 8%) being reported with relative consistency (cited by ≥50% of publications). Furthermore, the scope of the outcomes reported by studies was limited, with a notable paucity of patient-reported outcomes. Poor agreement (25%) was observed between the outcomes reported in the RCTs and those recommended by the COS. This review urges greater uptake of the existing COS and the development of a COS for complex chronic disease to be considered so that evidence can be better synthesised regarding effective nutrition interventions.

“…Loneliness is the unpleasant feeling of social isolation, which occurs when social needs are not adequately met (Hawkley and Cacioppo 2007;Russell, Peplau, and Cutrona 1980;Wang, Zhu, and Shiv 2012;Weiss 1973). It is a subjective experience (Ponzetti 1990;Waytz et al 2015), sometimes caused by (and operationalized as) objective social exclusion (e.g., Woolley, Fishbach, and Wang 2020). Though, notably, social exclusion has effects beyond loneliness (e.g., increases avoidance motivation [Han, Duhachek, and Rucker 2015], increases the motivation to differentiate oneself from others [Wan, Xu, and Ding 2014]).…”

Consumption of used products has the potential to symbolically connect present and previous users of these products, something that would be appealing to lonely consumers. Accordingly, across seven studies, feeling lonely increased the preference for previously owned products. Specifically, the proportion of lone shoppers was higher in a used versus a regular bookstore, lone individuals (vs. those sitting in pairs) were more likely to select a used over new product, on Valentine’s Day, people without (vs. with) a date expressed stronger preference for used products and individual differences in loneliness during the COVID-19 pandemic predicted interest in used products. Other studies documented that the desire to symbolically connect underlies the effect of loneliness on consumption. At a time when loneliness is on the rise, the authors discuss implications for the marketing of used products and how feeling lonely might motivate reducing waste.
