The Effect of Buteyko Breathing Technique on Asthma Control and Quality of Life in Children With Asthma

Sponsor: Cukurova University

Summary

In this study, the effect of buteyko breathing technique applied in children aged 7-12 years with asthma disease on asthma control and quality of life is examined. Asthma is a serious global health problem affecting all age groups. In studies conducted with the ISSAC (International study of asthma and allergies in childhood) method, the prevalence of asthma varies between 4-23% in developed populations. In childhood prevalence studies in our country, the cumulative asthma prevalence was found to be between 13.7% and 15.3%. There are personal and environmental factors of genetic origin that cause asthma. Its prevalence is increasing in many countries, particularly among children. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role. It is seen with recurrent episodes of wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath due to lower airway obstruction and chronic inflammation. Nurses will contribute to the protection and improvement of patients' health and well-being, to control asthma, to increase the quality of life, and to reduce health care expenditures, thanks to the hands-on training they will give to patients with asthma.
