Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Psychology
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Asthma is a common chronic respiratory condition in children.
  • Psychological factors, including anxiety, may influence asthma exacerbations.
  • Understanding the interplay between anxiety and asthma morbidity is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between state and trait anxiety in children with asthma.
  • To examine the association between anxiety levels and asthma morbidity post-attack.
  • To assess maternal anxiety levels and their correlation with child anxiety.

Main Methods:

  • 155 children (7-12 years) with asthma participated.
  • Children completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC).
  • Mothers completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y (STAI).

Main Results:

  • Maternal anxiety scores were higher than child scores.
  • No significant correlation was found between child and mother anxiety levels.
  • Two-thirds of children reported panic during an asthma attack, linked to child state anxiety.

Conclusions:

  • Childhood asthma attacks can be associated with significant anxiety.
  • Health professionals should consider both child and maternal anxiety in asthma care.
  • Addressing psychological distress is important for managing pediatric asthma morbidity.
