Abstract


Cette étude a concerné 180 parents des enfants souffrant d’asthme dans la ville de Kinshasa, capitale de la RDC. Nous les avons rencontrés dans quelques hôpitaux de ladite ville. Après les avoir soumis l’échelle d’index de stress parental, nous avons constaté que les parents des enfants asthmatiques sont stressés. Car, l'asthme de l'enfant est ressenti par les parents comme un drame suscitant de l'angoisse et de la culpabilité. Par conséquent, ils sont stressés à cause de l’état sanitaire de leurs enfants.

This study involved 180 parents of children suffering from asthma in the city of Kinshasa, the capital of the DRC, who met in several hospitals in the said city. After submitting them to the Parental Stress Index scale, we found that parents of asthmatic children are stressed. Because the child's asthma is felt by parents as a tragedy causing anxiety and guilt. Consequently, they are in distress because of the health condition of their children.
