Resumen
El asma infantil es una de las enfermedades más prevalentes en la actualidad. En los últimos años ha ido creciendo hasta llegar al 10 % de prevalencia estimada en España. Esta enfermedad afecta de manera importante a la calidad de vida del niño por lo que es necesario actuar para conseguir un mejor control. Para este control es necesario actuar por un lado frente a los determinantes de la enfermedad como control del entorno (ácaros, alérgenos...), irritantes, tabaquismo pasivo, ejercicio físico principalmente y por otro lado el control del tratamiento. Un papel importante tiene la familia en el control del niño. Hemos diseñado esta intervención educativa centrada en la familia y el niño con el objetivo de tener un mejor control del asma infantil y evitar las crisis asmáticas, mejorando de este modo la calidad de vida del niño y su familia.
