“…In a group of adolescent asthmatics, Cohen et al (18) investigated the contribution of illness perceptions to two types of self-management behavior, namely the taking of an inhaler to school and the use of preventer medication. Control perceptions over asthma symptoms were associated with better self-management.…”

This article reviews an emerging area of research on patients with asthma: namely, illness perceptions and their relationships with various aspects of outcome. The article briefly introduces the Common Sense Model, outlining the relevance of how "lay" patients conceptualize symptoms, illness, and treatment. On the basis of a comprehensive literature search, nine empirical studies illustrating the relationships between illness perceptions and outcomes are discussed. It is concluded that further research should focus on assessing asthma-specific illness and treatment beliefs. Also, given the effects of intervention studies in illness perceptions in other patient categories, it is recommended that serious consideration be given to intervention studies focusing on eliciting and changing illness perceptions in asthma patients, especially in those whose self-management seems to be inadequate.

“…Despite increasing autonomy in adolescents compared with younger children, adolescents are less likely to adhere to asthma medications (37,40,45). Many studies illustrate adolescent ambivalence about the long-term use of medication related to beliefs that asthma medications are ineffective and have adverse effects (36,39,45). Health-care professionals and parents need to pay additional attention to children during this transitional phase (40,45).…”

“…Families also reported behavioral difficulties, including issues with adolescent adherence to medications once parental reminders and supervision become less important to the child. Another key issue within this theme was the lack of involvement of children in asthma consultations (36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42).…”

“…This highlights the feasibility of improving asthma knowledge and the benefit of shifting the behavior of asthma patients for enhanced asthma care. In contrast, some studies describe negative attitudes toward asthma among adolescents [16]. As discussed by Rhee et al [17] negative attitudes drive patients to be more susceptible to barriers such as forgetfulness or ignorance of treatment recommendations, resulting reduced adherence subsequently leading to failure of management plans.…”

This study aimed to assess knowledge, attitude and practices of asthma and its associations with demographic factors in patients in a tertiary care-setting, Sri Lanka. A sample of 118 patients with asthma were enrolled for the study. Investigator administered, 44 item validated questionnaire was used to assess the cognitive variables of participants. Ethical approval was obtained from Ethics Review committee, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ruhuna. Data analysis performed using SPSS version 20. Overall knowledge about asthma was significantly higher (p=0.009) in females (11.75±2.39). The knowledge level was associated with patient's age. Elderly patients above 51 years of age had low level knowledge (p<0.05) than patients between 31-50 years age. Patients who educated above grade 10 (12.07±2.43) had higher level of knowledge (p=0.001) about asthma compared to patients educated up to grade 5 (10.44±2.06). 64.4% of the sample had positive attitudes towards management of asthma. However, only 12.7% of the sample inhabit with good practices. Patient's knowledge about asthma and its medication are associated with demographic factors of patients predominantly education level and age.
