“…The association between psychosocial problems and the self-report of asthma symptoms found in our study demonstrated that the prevalence was greater among children who also reported feelings of loneliness and sleep difficulties and had fewer than three friends as well as children with truancies, with the strongest associations for self-reported feelings of loneliness and sleeping problems. These results are in line with the literature on the relationship between child mental health and asthma [13,35,38]. Studies have examined the relationship between child mental health problems and chronic diseases; however, the results have been controversial [39].…”

Biological and psychosocial factors are recognized contributors to the worldwide burden of asthma. However, the relationship between psychosocial factors and asthma symptoms among students in low- and middle-income countries remains underexplored. We aimed to identify socioeconomic, environmental, psychosocial, family-related and lifestyle factors associated with the self-reporting of asthma symptoms in Brazilian adolescents. This is a cross-sectional study using data from the 2012 PeNSE survey (n = 109,104). We analyzed the following variables: socioeconomic conditions, demographic characteristics, lifestyle, family context and dynamics, psychosocial indicators, smoking, and exposure to violence. Our outcome variable was the self-report of asthma symptoms in the past 12 months. The prevalence of wheezing was 22.7% (21.5–23.9). After adjusting for sex, age and the variables from higher hierarchical levels, exposure to violence (feeling unsafe at school, being frequently bullied, being exposed to fights with firearms) and physical aggression by an adult in the family were the environmental factors that showed the strongest associations with self-reporting of asthma symptoms. For psychosocial indicators of mental health and social integration, feelings of loneliness and sleeping problems were the strongest factors, and among individual behavioral factors, the largest associations were found for tobacco consumption. Our findings were consistent with previous studies, showing an association between self-reported asthma symptoms and socio-economic status, family context and dynamics, psychosocial indicators of mental health, exposure to violence and social integration, as well as a sedentary lifestyle and tobacco use.

“…The results showed that the prevalence of behavioral problems in children with asthma was 37.39%, which was much higher than 18.69% of children without asthma. A previous study of Arif et al [17] reported that behavioral problems were about twice as common in children with asthma as in children without asthma. Blackman also reported the similar results [18].…”

Background Asthma and psychological-behavioral problems co-occur more frequently than would be expected based on chance. Several previous studies have shown that the association between childhood asthma and behavioral problems was unclear. Methods Three hundred and thirty seven 6-to-14-year children with asthma in a case group and 674 children without asthma in a control group, matched with age and sex in 1:2, was investigated from Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital. We obtained socio-demographic data on children and health-seeking caregivers. The Rutter’s Behaviour Scale for Children (Parents’ Scale) (RBSC-PS) was used to assess children’ behavioral problems. The quantitative relationship between childhood asthma and behavioral problems was evaluated with a conditional logistic regression. Results The overall prevalence of behavioral problems in the case group and the control group were 37.39% and 18.69% respectively, and the prevalence of type A, M, and N behavioral problems in the case group were all higher than those in the control group respectively (A:14.54% vs 10.68%; M: 6.53% vs 4.15%; N: 16.32% vs 3.86%). The results of multiple conditional logistic regression analysis showed that a statistically significant association was found between childhood asthma and behavior problems (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.46; 95% confidence interval (95%CI):1.16 ~ 1.83); The regression analysis for different types of behavioral problems showed that type A behavioral problem (aOR = 1.25;95%CI:0.91 ~ 1.71) or type M (aOR = 1.20; 95%CI:0.77, 1.88) were not associated with childhood asthma but type N behavioral problem had a statistically significant association with childhood asthma(aOR = 1.90;95%CI:1.40 ~ 2.57). Conclusion The type N behavioral problem was associated with childhood asthma, highlighting the importance of behavioral problem prevention for children with asthma in pediatric asthma clinics.
