Asthma is a serious, chronic illness that affects 9 million children in the United States. Common asthma symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. Asthma attacks can be triggered by a variety of irritants, including mold, pollen, tobacco smoke, or allergies. Stress can also cause asthma attacks, and children who experience high levels of stress and anxiety tend to have poor asthma management skills and health outcomes. Additionally, family stress can affect the ability of families and caregivers to provide adequate care to children with asthma. Currently, few asthma education programs are aimed at helping both children and parents manage stress. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a stress-reduction family intervention on improving health outcomes in asthmatic children.
