| Abstract | ||
| Objective: This research aims to evaluate the prevalence of asthma among adolescents and identify associated factors within health centers in Mosul, Iraq. Methods : A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in Mosul's health centers, including the Al-Sfina, Umm Al-Manasis, Al-Houd, and Ashwirat health centers, between May and July. The study focused on patients with asthma in adolescents, with a sample size of at least 290 based on the G-Power analysis for cases where the universe is unknown. Data collection involved face-to-face interactions, using the "personal information model" and the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) scale. Results: The study included adolescents aged 6-17 years diagnosed with asthma, with a higher prevalence among women. Statistical analysis revealed a positive and significant correlation between asthma risk factors and age, income, economic level, smoking, and chronic diseases (p < .05). No significant relationship was found between asthma risk factors, gender, and family size. Conclusions The study concludes that adolescents face elevated risk factors, highlighting the need for targeted interventions. Recommendations: The study suggests implementing educational courses for patients and their families to improve disease management. | ||
