The most widespread chronic condition observed amid children globally is asthma. Only half of children with asthma adhere to their prescribed inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) therapy. Parents’ emotions and perspectives regarding asthma have an impact on inhalation corticosteroid adherence. The participants in this study were 148 parents of children with asthma, with the aim to redintegrate their beliefs about medicines in general and specifically of ICS and the impact on ICS adherence in children with asthma. Children were mostly male (66.9%), older than five years (58.8%), parents were female, mean age 38, employed, and with a history of consumption of some form of corticosteroids. Parents’ answers show that 50% of them disagreed with the statement that medicines are addictive, and 90% agree that medicine helps many to live better. A percentage of 77.7% of parents acknowledge that their child’s health relies on inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), and 86.5% of parents agree that these medications safeguard their child from worsening health. Most of the parents (93.2%) adhere to the guidelines and instructions of the doctor. In summary, parents who hold the belief that medicines are neither overused nor harmful tend to exhibit a higher adherence. Furthermore, those with elevated adherence levels express lower levels of concern regarding the use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in their children’s asthma therapy.

The most prevalent children’s chronic disease worldwide is asthma which has notable negative impacts on patients’ and parent’s quality of life. Daily inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) therapy is a preferred controller choice. This study was conducted on 148 parents of asthmatic children to establish parents’ perception of illness and fear of inhaled corticosteroids using B-IPQ and TOPICOP questionnaires. Children were in the majority male (66.9%), older than five years (58.8%), with comorbidities, and family history of atopy. Parents were female, with a mean age of 38, employed, and with a history of some form of corticosteroid use. Most parents were not afraid of ICS usage (71.6%). Unemployed parents and parents who had no medical education had a statistically significantly higher fear of using ICS (p = 0.002, p = 0.03). A child’s illness affects the parents’ lives and parents who are afraid of using ICS react more emotionally to the child’s illness. Better understanding and less concerned about child’s disease are parents of children with controlled asthma. The parents’ perspective of children’s asthma will affect the duration and dose of ICS treatment they will give to their children and directly influence the level of asthma control.
