“…In addition, it has been found that in comparison with parents of healthy children, mothers and fathers of children with asthma make significantly more critical remarks and show a more critical attitude (26). For caregivers, parenting a child with asthma may contribute to increased parenting stress and more critical parenting-child interactions (33). Thus, the presence of a chronic illness may result in increasing caregiver or child distress that in turn contributes to poorer adherence and increased morbidity (28).…”

“…Although not characteristic of all families, this reciprocal relationship between family distress and asthma morbidity has the potential to lead to an escalating spiral of psychological symptoms and asthma morbidity (28). For example, day-to-day asthma management may be more difficult in high-conflict and critical relationships because effective communication, supervision, and division of responsibilities may be compromised (33).…”

Parenting Asthmatic Children: Identification of Parenting Challenges

Asthma is the most common chronic illness of childhood, affecting up to 14% of children. Poor asthma management and non-adherence to treatment regimens are a pervasive problem in this population and are related to exacerbation of symptoms. Effective management of pediatric asthma involves a complex set of interactions between the parent and child, yet there is a paucity of literature examining these interactions. The main purpose of this study was to identify the child behavior and asthma management tasks parents experience difficulty with. It was hypothesized that the more asthma behavior problems reported, the more problems parents experience in asthma management tasks. Participants in this study were 255 parents of 2-to 10-year-old asthmatic children, recruited via an advertisement placed in school newsletters throughout Australia. Results indicated that the most problematic child asthma behaviors were oppositional behavior, hyperactivity, and aggression, and anxiety was also identified by parents as a concern. The main problematic asthma parenting tasks were entrusting the school, entrusting caregivers, identifying unique symptoms, and identifying and avoiding triggers. More problem asthma behaviors were associated with higher levels of parenting difficulty and more general levels of behavior problems. Parents who reported more dysfunctional parenting styles reported more difficulties with their child's asthma behavior. Based on the results it is suggested that an appropriate parenting intervention program would target basic behavioral management skills, in addition to applying these behavior management principles to asthma management.

“…Environmental factors that could conceivably influence both disorders include family interactional processes, toxins, light or humidity changes, and infectious diseases. Several investigators have demonstrated that parent-child conflict is associated with the outcome of asthma in children [Hermanns et al, 1989;Schobinger et al, 1992;Strunk et al, 1985;Wamboldt et al, 1995]. Parental criticism and parent-child conflict have also been shown to be risk factors for depression and behavioral disorders in children [Asarnow et al, 1993[Asarnow et al, , 1994Vostanis et al, 1994].…”

Familial association between allergic disorders and depression in adult Finnish twins

Clinical studies have shown a relationship between allergic disorders and depression, panic disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and social anxiety for a significant subset of patients with these disorders. The nature of the relationship, whether due to shared environmental or biologic vulnerabilities or as a result of the stress of chronic illness, has been less clear. By examining the covariance of atopic disorders and depressive symptoms in a community sample of monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins, the contribution of genetic and/or shared environmental etiological factors can be established. A Finnish sample of 1337 MZ and 2506 DZ twin pairs, ages 33-60 years, was sent questionnaires inquiring about history of asthma, eczema, and atopic rhinitis, as well as the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The nature of the covariation between twins of these symptoms was investigated by fitting competing genetic and environmental models. Within-person correlation between atopic symptoms and BDI was 0.103 (P < 0.001) for the total sample. Using the Mx statistical modeling program to fit the data to competing quantitative genetic models, the best fitting model estimated that 64% of the association between atopy and BDI was due to shared familial vulnerability, primarily additive genetic influences. Although the measures for allergic disorders and depression are crude, this study supports the hypothesis that there is a small shared genetic risk for atopic and depressive symptoms, and if replicated, may open research for common mechanisms between allergic and depressive disorders.
