Asthma is the most prevalent chronic disease in childhood and has a great impact on the child´s quality of life. This study aims to find out if there are differences between children / adolescents with asthma and their healthy peers, as well as if gender, age and clinical variables of asthma are related to their quality of life level.
In a sample of 76 children/adolescents (38 asthma vs 38 healthy) aged between 8 and 14 years, the KIDSCREEN-52 was applied and the scores were compared according to gender and age. In addition, it has been analyzed the influence of the level of severity, the degree of control, the number of exacerbations, visits to the emergency room, hospitalizations and days of school absenteeism may have on the quality of life of children/adolescents with asthma.
The children/adolescents with asthma show a lower quality of life than healthy children/adolescents with significant differences in the dimensions of Physical Well-being (p=.001), Moods and Emotions (p=.001), Self-perception (p=.001), Autonomy (p=.046), Parent Relation (p=.018) and Social Acceptance (Bullying) (p=.004). No significant differences were found based on gender, although the group of asthmatic men with asthma has a greater impact on quality of life compared to healthy men. Quality of life is associated with age, being higher in the group of healthy children. Likewise, asthma severity and the number of visits to the emergency room are related to The children and adolescents with asthma have more limitations in different areas of their quality of life than those without chronic diseases. Knowing loads of these limitations will help to develop more effective intervention plans for the treatment of asthma.
