“…For this reason, the quality of life of these children depends on the degree of control of the disease on their part; if the disease is under their control, the quality of life will be better. On the other hand, if the parents turn the child into what is known as a “fragile child” by preventing them from acquiring the competencies to cope with the disease on their own during the course of their life, their quality of life will be reduced [ 51 , 52 ].…”

Asthma is the most common chronic disease in childhood. The presence of this pathology in children leads to the appearance of different alterations (physical, psychological, social, etc.). Due to their high influence, the aim of this study is to understand these psychological and sociocultural determinants and their impact on the quality of life of asthmatic children. In order to determine the influence of these determinants on quality of life, a narrative review of 48 articles collected in different databases was carried out. Emotions are the most powerful precursor to producing an asthmatic attack. Anxiety and depression are the pathologies that appear frequently associated with childhood asthma, together with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. In addition, the personality of these children seems to be characterized by shyness and impulsivity, although exceptionally it has been associated with psychopathic behaviors, aggressiveness, and cases of psychosis. School performance is impaired and bullying occurs more frequently. Likewise, dysfunctional family relationships and lower socioeconomic status have a negative impact on the severity and management of asthma. In short, the quality of life of asthmatic children is lower due to the presence of the aforementioned psychological and sociocultural determinants.

Bronchial asthma among children is a common chronic disease that may impact quality of life. Health education is one of the strategies to improve knowledge and quality of life. This study aims to assess the effect of health education via a mobile application in promoting the quality of life among schoolchildren with asthma in urban Malaysia during the COVID-19 era. A quasi-experimental, pre- and post-intervention design was used in this study involving a total of 214 students, randomly assigned into two groups (an intervention group and a control group). The control group received face-to-face health education, whereas the experimental group received health education via a mobile application. The findings showed that the total score of quality of life improved from a mean total score at pre-intervention of 5.31 ± 1.27 to post-intervention of 5.66 ± 1.28 for the control group, compared with the experimental group with a mean total score of quality of life at pre-intervention of 5.01 ± 1.36 and post-intervention of 5.85 ± 1.29. A comparison between the experimental and control groups using an independent t test showed statistically significant differences in their mean quality of life scores. The effect of health education via a mobile application showed a statistically significant improvement in the mean quality of life score from pre- to post-intervention ( F 1,288 = 57.46, P < .01). As recommended, the use of mobile technology in health education improved the quality of life of schoolchildren with asthma as compared with the traditional methods of a face-to-face lecture and/or a handbook. Thus, educational modules using mobile applications do improve quality of life.

Background: Bronchial asthma is the most prevalent illness among children and teenagers. It is considered a major cause of morbidity. The physical, social, and psychological domains of childhood asthma are all affected. Aim of the work:To measure the pediatric asthma quality of life [PAQOL] levels within asthmatic children and its main predictors in Damietta, Egypt.Methods: An analytical cross-sectional survey was carried out utilizing a questionnaire that assesses [PAQOL] levels with related socio-demographic factors and asthma control levels. Asthma control level was tested by an asthma control test questionnaire. PAQLQ as a dependent variable and other plausible independent variables were analyzed by a stepwise linear regression model. Results: Two hundred participants, aged 7-17 years were included; [56%] were females, [30.5%] residing in urban areas, and [77%] had belonged to middle and low socioeconomic classes. Gastro-esophageal reflux [GER] was shown to have a significant positive correlation with allergic rhinitis [P< 0.01] and obesity [P< 0.01]. Otherwise, GER was shown to be negatively correlated with asthma control status [P< 0.01]. Mean ± standard deviation [SD] of overall, activity and Emotion domains scores of QOL were 4.51± 1.3, 4.52± 1.25, and 4.54± 1.39 respectively. While more than 50% of the symptoms domain scores were more than 4.7. Low socioeconomic level [P< 0.01], poor asthma control [P< 0.01], and positive history for controller medications [P< 0.05] were significant predictors for lower asthmatic children's quality of life. Conclusion:Asthmatic children tend to have a poorer quality of life. To provide effective asthma treatment to the general public, prescribers and patients must both understand and be educated. Healthcare providers should consider PAQOL with greater attention to children with poor socio-economic standards and uncontrolled asthma in the management plan.
