“…However, asthma-PD patients reported greater use of short-acting β 2 -agonist medication. In addition, asthma-PD patients reported greater emotional disturbance connected with asthma, and they had a high rate of comorbid depression, which may contribute to magnification of asthma symptoms (21,34).…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the associations between panic disorder (PD) and health services use, health-related quality of life, and use of short-acting β 2 -agonists among individuals with asthma. We studied 21 adults with comorbid asthma and panic disorder (asthma-PD) and 27 asthma patients without PD (asthma-only). Participants attended a single session at a laboratory to complete the study. A retrospective chart review was conducted to assess use of health care resources for asthma treatment during the past 12 months. Patients completed the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire and lung function testing. Asthma-only and asthma-PD patients displayed no differences on asthma severity, as measured by spirometry and asthma medication class. Asthma-PD patients had more visits to their primary care physicians for asthma ( p < 0.01) and reported a lower quality of life related to asthma ( p < 0.01) and greater use of short-acting β 2 -agonists ( p < 0.05) than asthma-only patients. These findings were independent of pulmonary function, asthma medication class, and sociodemographic status. These data show that coexistence of PD in asthma is associated with increased use of primary care health resources and greater perceived impairment from asthma, independent of asthma severity. These findings indicate a need to develop interventions to improve quality of life and self-management of asthma among PD patients.

“…There is growing evidence that emotionally engaged physicians communicate more effectively with patients thereby decreasing patient anxiety and improving patient coping, leading to greater therapeutic efficacy and an overall better outcome. (Beck et al, 2002, Rietveld andPrins, 1998). On the other hand, lack of empathy increases patient dissatisfaction and the risk of malpractice suits.…”

“…Negative emotions have been linked to decreased involvement in exercise along with increased symptom reporting among school aged children with asthma (Meyer, Kroner-Herwig & Sporkel, 1990;Panditi & Silverman, 2003;Pianosi & Davis, 2004;Rietveld & Prins, 1998).The more negative the child perceives the situation (such as exercise) the higher the likelihood they will report subjective symptoms such as increased breathlessness and fatigue (Panditi & Silverman; Rietveld & Prins). When presented with an unfamiliar task or situation such as participating in an exercise event, children with asthma may perceive the situation as anxiety provoking, thus leading to increased sensation of shortness of breath.…”

“…As the available research has shown, the majority of the literature focuses on perceptions of physical functioning abilities, physical self-concept, misperceptions of exercise, emotions affecting exercise, and attitudes towards exercise (Kiviniemi et al, 2007;Meyer et al, 1990;Panditi & Silverman, 2003;Pianosi & Davis, 2004;Rietveld & Prins, 1998;Welsh et al, 2005;Wirrrell et al, 2006). However, very few articles were identified specifically focusing on perception of exercise from the perspective of the school aged child with asthma.…”

This grounded theory-driven study explored the predominant categories and concepts involved with perceptions of exercise among school-aged children with asthma. Data came from 13 in-depth interviews with 10 children. Five boys and 5 girls, ages 8 to 12 years, with varying asthma disease severity, participated. In addition, 9 parents completed a health history questionnaire. The process of creating perceptions of exercise was the grounded theory that emerged from the data. The ongoing creation of perceptions of exercise was influenced by 4 predominant categories: perceived benefits, striving for normalcy, exercise influences, and asthma's influence. Because process is an ongoing occurrence, the 4 predominant categories may influence the creation of exercise perceptions simultaneously, or at different times and in various ways dependent upon the characteristics of the child and his or her unique situations and experiences. Perceived benefits, striving for normalcy, exercise influences, and asthma's influence were identified categories involved with the interactions, actions, and consequences interwoven throughout the creation of perceptions of exercise process. These categories help explain how exercise perceptions are developed from the participants' perspective. The process of creating perceptions of exercise is a continuous, circular happening with the consequences leading to the development of exercise perceptions. The context may change but the overall process retains applicability to creating perceptions of exercise. The subjective insight gained through the development of this theory gives light to numerous areas for future nursing research and implications for practice to improve the overall quality of life among school-aged children with asthma.
