Children's quality of life with allergic diseases is influenced by an interacting system of disease symptoms, impaired psychological and social functions, family care factors, and medical support.

This qualitative study of 16 caregivers of children aged 7-14 with allergic diseases identified four themes influencing quality of life: disease symptoms (symptom distress, sleep, exercise and dietary restrictions), impaired psychological and social functions (negative emotions, limited social participation), family care (protective resistance, caregiver cognitive misunderstandings, family coping failure), and medical support (lack of medical trust, medication and emergency attack guidance needs). The findings suggest quality of life is shaped by the interaction of physical distress, child's psychological state, caregiver knowledge and emotional burden, and health system responsiveness.
