De igual forma, Stelmach, et al, reportaron una asociación significativa entre la calidad de vida de los padres de niños asmáticos medida con el Pediatric Asthma Caregiver's Quality of Life Questionnaire (PACQLQ), con el grado de control de asma de sus hijos, encontrando un cambio significativo en la puntuación de dicho cuestionario en los padres de los niños que lograron un adecuado control de su asma (37).…”
