Abstract
Asthmatic attacks with sudden onset of dyspnea in children could disturb their normal growth and development and cause burdens to their parents. The parents were asked to answer the questionnaires on the relationship between asthmatic attacks and psycho-social factors, the character of asthmatic children, family-social environment, other psychosomatic diseases (PSD) and the life change units and their doctors answer the questions about the treatment and psychosomatic relationship. Eight questions to differentiate PSD and non-PSD could diagnose PSD in asthmatic children. The parents of asthmatic children answered the quality of Life (QOL) questionnaire to clarify the QOL on both asthmatic children and their parents. From these data, we could use both questionnaires on PSD and QOL in order to see the different aspects of psycho-social elements in asthmatic children and their parents.
