Behavioral Changes Among Asthmatic Children in Sohag Universty Hospital

October 2, 2024 updated by: Aya Ezeldin Abdelmotgaly, Sohag University
Asthma is considered the most common chronic childhood disease and mainly affects children resident in urban areas. Asthma has been designated a serious public health problem due to the increase in its prevalence over the last two decades and the associated high health service costs in admissions and hospitalizations The cause of asthma is not yet completely understood, and there is no consensus about its etiology. A vast body of research emphasizes the role of genetic and environmental factors in the appearance of asthma, and a great deal of interest has recently emerged concerning the relationship between psychosocial factors and asthma morbidity Behavioural problems in children are generally described as "internalizing", which includes "anxiety, depressive, and somatic symptoms" or "externalizing", which includes "oppositional, hyperactive conduct". Both internalizing and externalizing problems can be experienced by healthy children with abnormal and "borderline" personality disorder, the latter referring to a mental illness marked by an ongoing pattern of varying moods, self-image, and behaviour
