Background: Acupressure is one of the important non-pharmacological modalities which is effective in enhancing bronchial asthma control. Aim: to evaluate the effect of acupressure on quality of life, dyspnea, sleep, and fatigue among children with bronchial asthma Design: A quasi experimental research design was utilized in this study. Setting: the study was carried out at Pediatric Chest Inpatient Unit at Tanta Main University Hospital. Sample: sixty (60) children diagnosed with bronchial asthma aged from 5 to 12 years old. Tools of the study: Tool I: A structured interview schedule to collect patient's socio-demographic and clinical data. Tool II: Health related quality of life that was evaluated by using PROMIS Pediatric Asthma Impact Scale. Tool III: Physical health assessment that was measured by using three scales; Pediatric Dyspnea Scale, PROMIS Pediatric Sleep Disturbance Short Form 4a Scale and PROMIS Pediatric Fatigue Short Form 10a Scale. Results: The results indicated that the asthma had always impact on 60% of studied children's quality of life 25.0% of them suffered from very high trouble of breathing, asthma interfered with sleep in 61.7% of them and also, 43.3% of the children totally fatigued because of asthma before acupressure sessions while children's quality of life, dyspnea, sleep and fatigue were improved 2 and 4 weeks after acupressure sessions. Conclusion: there was a statistically significant improvement in relation to quality of life, dyspnea, sleep and fatigue among studied children at 2 and 4 weeks after acupressure sessions application than before its application. Recommendations: Acupressure should be applied into nursing care for children with bronchial asthma.

“…Despite several publications showing that QOL impairment is lower in children and adolescents who adhere to treatment, 20,21 this study found no such association, similarly to the findings by Silva et al 17 In the present study, the incidence of treatment adherence corresponded to 93%, and was evaluated by questions targeted at parents and/or guardians. Even though we tried to use appropriate questions, the actual adherence could be lower than the one reported, which might have influenced the lack of associations.…”

Objective: To evaluate the quality of life and its association with disease control, severity, allergic comorbidities and adherence to treatment in children and adolescents with asthma. Methods: A cross-sectional study that included children and adolescents aged seven to 17. The Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) was used to assess their quality of life. Sociodemographic and clinical data were obtained from the chart and from a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were performed and chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests were used to verify the existence of associations between quality of life and disease control, severity, comorbidities and adherence to treatment. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results: 101 children/adolescents were evaluated (62.4% boys), with a mean age of 10.1 years. On average, the PAQLQ score was ≤5.9 points, indicating moderate / severe quality of life impairment. Higher levels of control, as well as higher disease severity, were associated with higher quality of life impairment, both in total PAQLQ score and domains (p<0.05). The presence of comorbidities was also associated with higher quality of life impairment (p=0.01), except in the emotional function domain. Adherence to treatment showed no association with quality of life. Conclusions: Children and adolescents with asthma present impairment in their quality of life, and this is related to poorer control and severity of the disease, as well as to the presence of allergic comorbidities.

“…This is in accordance with the study done earlier by Lisa Meltzer et.al. which concluded that children with poorly controlled asthma had poorer sleep patterns, more difficulty in falling asleep and more sleep disruptions [21] .…”

Background: Asthma is a serious global health problem that often and adversely affects children. Between 20 and 30% of children in the pediatric population experience sleep problems. The responsibilities of providing nocturnal care and the stress that is directly tied to the illness affect caregiver sleep patterns in a similar way to how a chronic illness may have a direct impact on a child's sleep. Objective: To examine the relationship between an asthmatic child's quality of life and their primary caregivers sleep habits.Material & Method: According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 50 patients with chronic asthma and their primary caregiver were recruited from the pediatric outpatient department of Civil Hospital Sec. 6, Panchkula, for cross-sectional correlational research. Children with asthma were given the Children Sleep Habit Questionnaire (CSHQ) and the Mini PAQLQ (mini pediatric asthma quality of life questionnaire), whereas primary caregivers were given the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Pediatric Asthma Caregiver's Quality of Life Questionnaire (PACQLQ), respectively. Results: With a correlation value of r = -.768, this study demonstrated a strong association between asthmatic children's sleep quality and quality of life. With a connection value of r = -.765, main carers' sleep quality and quality of life were also shown to be significantly correlated. Conclusion:Based on findings of the study, there was a significant correlation between the sleep quality and quality of life in asthmatic children and primary caregiver.
