Perception of mothers or caregivers of children with asthma on treatment outcomes

ABSTRACT

The perception of the mother or caregiver regarding the achieved results is a very important tool to identify the degree of resoluteness of the service and ensure a higher quality of care. In that perspective, a descriptive research with quantita¬tive approach from the application of a questionnaire was carried out. The study aimed to evaluate the perception of the mother or caregiver regarding the outcome of the treatment that the asthmatic child receives. It was concluded that a higher percentage of mothers or caregivers considered the result as good/very good and bad/very bad, in addition to identifying that these children are accompanied only by a pulmonologist and not by the health unit staff.
