Insights

Parenting a child with asthma significantly impacts parents, leading to caregiver burden. This burden negatively affects parents

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Caregiver Studies
  • Psychology of Parenting

Background:

  • Parenting involves inherent caregiving responsibilities.
  • Caring for a child with health issues, like asthma, can impose a significant burden on parents.
  • Understanding this burden is crucial for family well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the effects of caregiver burden on parents primarily caring for children with asthma.
  • To identify the negative impacts associated with caregiving for children with asthma.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review was conducted.
  • Searched databases: PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus (2000-2015).
  • Keywords: 'caregiver', 'burden', 'childhood asthma', 'parent'.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-three studies were included in the review.
  • Caregiving for children with asthma negatively affects parents.
  • Identified outcomes include anxiety, fear, grief, physical distress, and reduced quality of life.

Conclusions:

  • Caregiver burden in parents of children with asthma is a significant issue.
  • Negative outcomes like anxiety and reduced quality of life are common.
  • Identifying risks and protective factors is vital as caregiver well-being influences asthma management.
