Research on Disease Control and Mental Health Status of Adolescent Asthma Patients

Background: Currently in China, adolescent asthma care is characterized by both undertreatment and overtreatment. Patients in this age group may exhibit negative emotions toward disease treatment and long-term control. Insufficient disease knowledge, irregular lifestyle habits, and negative attitudes toward the disease can all reduce medication adherence, affect disease control outcomes, and thereby increase the risk of severe chronic respiratory conditions and disease burden in adulthood.

Objectives: To assess disease control status in adolescent asthma patients, evaluate the psychological well-being of patients and their family members, and understand patients' self-management skills and readiness for transition to adulthood.

Procedures: Eligible participants will complete a series of assessment questionnaires through the Youran Huxi mobile application, including questionnaires on asthma control, physical activity, psychological health, self-management behaviors, and transition readiness. The study period is 12 months; the baseline assessment involves one-time completion of written questionnaires with no interim follow-up visits. The study does not intervene in clinical diagnosis or treatment decisions.
