“…This severity was also correlated positively with depression, in accordance with other studies (Strunk et al, 195;Picado et al, 1989;Campbell et al, 1995a;Martin et al, 1995). This relation between depression and severity asthma is particularly relevant in the case of recent bereavement (Levitan, 1985), as well as death by asthma with hopelessness and despair in the days before the relative's death (Miller et al, 1989). By using STAI-Y, the average values for the anxiety trait (i.e., a measure for an individual's tendency for anxiety) were higher than those found in other studies for the Portuguese population (Santos & Silva, 1997;Silva & Campos, 1998) and that have been used as standard references.…”

“…O aparecimento precoce da doença, associado à gravidade da mesma e o momento e duração das primeiras internações, são considerados importantes fatores preditores de problemas comportamentais futuros, embora estudos longitudinais sejam ainda necessários para avaliar ajustamento nas diferentes fases do desenvolvimento (Mrazek, Schuman & Klinnert, 1998;Wallander et al, 2003). Além disso, a presença de uma doença crônica no início da vida, com risco de morte durante uma crise, constitui uma importante fonte de ansiedade tanto para a criança como para os pais (Goodwin, Fergusson & Horwood, 2004;Miller & Strunk, 1989;Silver, Warman & Stein, 2005).…”

“…Pelas suas características, a asma pode interferir em todo o funcionamento da criança e da família, sendo esta interferência proporcional ao controle dos sintomas (Kaugars et al, 2004 (Gavin et al, 1999;Kaugars et al, 2004;McQuaid & Walders, 2003;Miller & Strunk, 1989;Mrazek et al, 1998;Pedersen, 1997).…”

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar competência social e transtornos comportamentais em crianças com asma. Participaram 62 crianças (sete a 16 anos) com asma moderada e grave e um grupo controle, cujos pais responderam à versão brasileira do Child Behavior Checklist. Houve associação entre asma e déficit na competência social global (p=0,000), na competência social associada a atividades (p=0,001) e associada à escola (p=0,010). A gravidade da asma não se mostrou associada à competência social. Houve associação entre transtornos comportamentais e asma, principalmente transtornos internalizantes, como ansiedade e depressão, que não se mostraram associados ao gênero, idade e tipo de asma. Concluiu-se que crianças com asma apresentaram mais alterações na competência social global e competência social relacionada a atividades e escola, quando comparadas ao grupo controle. Apresentaram, ainda, mais transtornos globais e internalizantes, que podem prejudicar seu desenvolvimento, qualidade de vida e o manejo adequado da doença.

“…Good family support may be protective particularly against the adverse effects of life events (65), while poor family support (66) and abnormal family function (60,67) have been suggested as risk factors for morbidity and mortality. Forty per cent of patients with asthma with SLTA or hospital admission had inadequate disease-specific social support despite otherwise adequate support for more general matters (in more than 90% of cases) (57).…”

Asthma Education, Action Plans, Psychosocial Issues and Adherence

This article deals with four separate but not disparate topics. The first section discusses asthma education, reviews the current literature and attempts to challenge some of the dogma that is associated with this area. Knowledge alone does not guarantee appropriate behaviour, due to a variety of adverse socioeconomic and psychological factors that need to be considered for each patient. Action plans and peak flow monitoring have both been disappointing in terms of reducing asthma morbidity; the former needs to be individualized, and the latter may be useful in specific situations. Space precludes an in-depth discussion of psychological issues and adherence, but an attempt has been made to address salient issues, particularly related to the first two topics. Psychological factors, especially anxiety, play an important role in asthma outcome. Adherence to medication prescriptions and other management strategies need to be taken into account when an individual’s treatment program is planned.
