Who is studied
The study population will consist of adult caregivers (parents or legal guardians) of children under the age of 18 who have a medically confirmed history of drug hypersensitivity. Participants will be recruited from a tertiary care pediatric allergy outpatient clinic. All participants must be fluent in Turkish and able to provide informed consent. The population represents a real-world sample of caregivers managing children with various types of drug allergies, including but not limited to reactions to antibiotics, antipyretics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). A subgroup of caregivers will be invited to complete the questionnaire twice to assess test-retest reliability.
