The relationship is particularly valid for young children. The results from the data gathered in this study focus on the need for organised and dedicated efforts to control the exposure of young kids suffering from asthma to environmental tobacco smoke (Chilmonczyk, et al
The study also concluded that the independent impact of exposure to smoke during both pre- and postnatal periods is high. There is a respiratory risk associated with parental smoking (DiFranza, Aligne, & Weitzman, 2003)
A questionnaire was designed for the population of Cape Town. The sample included 1,955 kids with the age between 7 and 9 years belonging to 15 different schools (Ehrlic, et al
An interesting finding was about presence of cat at home. Children who used to enjoy cat presence had more problems related to asthma as compared to the ones who avoided cats (Ernst, Demissie, Joseph, Locher, & Becklake, 1995)
Furthermore, if mother smokes during pregnancy, the child is bound to receive the adverse effects. The study also found out that the smoking habits of women during pregnancy raises the probability that during childhood, asthma with occur (Gilliland, LI, & Peters, 2000)
They must be imparted necessary training about its harmful effects of smoking so that they can save their kids from it. This can be done through strong support in family planning and pre-natal health care and at schools (Gilmour, Jaakkola, London, Nel, & Rogers, 2006)
The research suggests that exposure to second hand smoke has worsen the conditions for approximately 200,000 to 1,000,000 children with asthma. This pollutant, that is, environment tobacco smoke, may also cause thousands of children without asthma to develop the condition each year (Hofhuis, Jongste, & Merkus, 2003)
The parents suffering from asthma are more likely to give birth to the children who are prone to asthma since birth. If they do not have asthma problem since birth, they are more likely to have it quickly if they breathe in the contaminated air (Jaakkola, Nafstad, & Magnus, 2001)
It must be considered with caution that the healthcare institutes and the developers of other intervention programs usually ignore this aspect and focus on other reasons of asthma. However, this point must also be considered (Kattan, et al
In simple words, the conclusion for the study was that Childhood exposure to Environment Tobacco Smoke is closely related with an increased rate of asthma, even if the individuals are not smokers. The study also showed that the children exposed to Environment Tobacco Smoke are likely to become smokers (Larsson, Frisk, Hallstro-m, Kiviloog, & Lundba-c, 2001)
Environmental protection is at the top most priority in the 21st century and green and clean programs are initiated everywhere under the patronage of government and many non-governmental organisations. These initiatives, if turn successful can control the unlikely effects of polluted air (Peden, 2005)
The children were either breathing in the smoky environment because their one or more family members were smokers, or their mothers had smoking habits during pregnancy or the breast milk was not healthy because of smoking habits of mothers. It was also concluded that these effects were long-term and the temporal measures can result in no good for the infants when they grow up in exposure to environment tobacco smoke (Rylander, Pershagen, Eriksson, & Bermann, 1995)
34 million. The study completely supported the hypothesis of this paper that there is relationship between smoking exposure and asthma regardless of the level of exposure (Sturm, Yeatts, & Loomis, 1999)
¶ … Asthma When it comes to the risks and benefits in a study, a researcher has to use the proper methods to balance these issues. There are algorithms that can be used in order to determine whether something will provide enough of a benefit to be worth doing, or whether there is too much of a risk (Burns & Grove, 2012)
This study was based in Cincinnati, Ohio and addressed the value of school-based health centers (SBHCs) when it came to various inner-city schools around the region. Cincinnati Public Schools had SBHCs, but a few members who had originally been part of the initiative to create them decided they would take that initiative and the information they gained from it and put it to good use at poverty-stricken schools that did not have SBHCs (Toole, 2013)
¶ … Asthma on Children in North America Vulnerability of Children to Asthma and its Triggers Children are incredibly vulnerable to physical stress caused by asthma and the periodic episodes within the context of the disease. The actual physical symptoms of the disease include a restriction of the airways caused by some sort of various stress trigger; "in susceptible individuals inflammatory symptoms are usually associated with widespread but variable airflow obstruction and an increase in airway response to a variety of stimuli," (Iley 2007:25)
Parent competency is an important security for children with asthma within the context of home care. Higher levels of parent competency can help ensure the best quality healthcare for their children (Maltby et al
These internal factors are also attributed to higher levels within urban children from low-income families. Some research has also attributed more family stressors within urban children who suffer from asthma, "Urban children with asthma are at an increased risk for experiencing more family stressors due to their exposure to poverty and other urban risks," (Mitchell et al
Unfortunately, this disease is not going anywhere any time soon. Asthma rates are increasing within the population of the world's youth (Milton et al
Symptomatic children have long been thought to have suffered academically based on their condition. Although the periods of absenteeism tend to be brief, there are periodic and so have been thought to have adversely affected the child's academic career (Moonie et al
