Abstract:
Asthma is the most prevalent and costly chronic childhood disease worldwide, unexpected flare-ups and exacerbation of which threaten the safety and quality of life of children and their families. As the capacity for self-management among children is limited by their developmental level, much of the weight of asthma management falls on the shoulders of caregivers. This article outlines the impact of asthma, and guidelines for diagnosis and management of asthma, and symptom self-monitoring and management in children. It is aimed at facilitating self-monitoring to improve assessments of the severity of the condition in order to prevent deterioration and improve the quality of life of children and their families.
