- Aim was to assess the psychological health of women with different levels of asthma control. The study included 108 women. To assess the level of control, questionnaires including AQLQ-S and SF-36 were used. Women with poorly controlled asthma had worse performance of AQLQ-S and all scales of the SF-36, including the general condition, role of physical and emotional problems. In the group with poor control there is a high level of depression; physical health problems are marked. The severity of asthma and disease control are closely linked with the patient’s psychological condition. Psychological dysfunctions are correlated with suboptimal BA control.
