Resumo: |
Asthma is the most frequent chronic disease in childhood and stress is considered one of the triggering and aggravating agents of bronchospasm in this patients. The aim of this work was investigate the influence of stress in the clinical expression of asthma and your association with the asthma attacks in children. The asthmatic children answered to a stress scale (LIPP E LUCARELLI, 1998) and their parents answered some questions about the frequency of symptoms and asthma attacks, sleep disturbance, school absenteeism, physical exercises limitations, frequency of use of medicines, their behavior during their child asthma attacks, the triggering agents of crises, their socio-economic status and education level. The results showed that the asthmatic children were more stressed than those from the control group, specially the children with severe asthma. Also, stress can intensify frequency of asthma attacks, physical exercises limitations, school absences and sleep disturbance. The children that had been diagnosed for a long period were less stressed. The results from this study suggest that stress can precipitate or exacerbate asthma attacks. That shows necessity of more researches to refine the knowledge about this subject. |
