BACKGROUND: Asthma is a chronic @entity1576 characterized by recurrent episodes of @entity73 breathing. The disease causes @entity458 due to hospitalization, long-term medication use, and restricted social life. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the severity and duration of @entity565 in @entity748 @entity1 , as well as the probability of maternal @entity148 . METHODS: Thirty-seven @entity1 with mild @entity565 , 55 with moderate @entity565 and eight with severe @entity565 were compared with 50 healthy @entity1 . The severity of @entity565 was evaluated using the Pearlman-Bierman classification. Psychological adjustment was measured using the Achenback @entity1 Behavior checklist and Spielberger's scale. RESULTS: Emotional factors and family dynamics were found to be triggering factors for disease attacks in 16% of @entity1 with mild @entity565 , 38% of those with moderate @entity565 and 63% of those with severe @entity565 (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the mean maternal @entity148 score between the disease severity groups (p > 0.05). The mean @entity308 score was significantly higher in @entity1 with moderate and severe @entity565 than in those with mild @entity565 (p < 0.05). Disease duration showed no effect on @entity308 and @entity148 . CONCLUSION: Both @entity748 @entity1 and their mothers are negatively affected by the disease.
