Family determinants of childhood asthma
Asthma is a widespread public health problem and the most common chronic illness in childhood and adolescence. According to the Croatian national data the asthma prevalence in the pediatric population is between 1.5% to 5% representing 1/4 of all chronic illness in childhood and adolescence. The investigation was conducted with the aim of determining the specific family variables which are related to asthmatic symptoms in children. The family variables were operationalised as two parenting dimensions: control and emotionality. This study was focused on two samples: a group of schoolchildren with asthma (N=46) in pediatric care and a group of healthy schoolchildren (N=42). The ANOVA was used to assess the children's perceptions of parenting practices in two samples. Significant differences were found in three scales: Emotionality-Mother, Emotionality-Father and Control-Father. In both cases asthmatic children scored their parents lower on emotionality than healthy children, and compared to healthy children they also perceived their fathers to be more controlling towards them.
