Evidence regarding asthma’s impact on children’s daily lives is limited. This prospective and cross-sectional, observational, multicenter study assessed school/work and activity impairment in children and adolescents with allergic asthma and their caregivers and allergen immunotherapy (AIT) effects. Included patients were schooled children and adolescents (5 to 17 years) with allergic asthma due to house dust mites (HDM). Impairment of school/work (i.e., absenteeism and presenteeism) and activity was measured in patients and their caregivers using the Work Productivity Impairment Questionnaire plus Classroom Impairment Questions: Allergy Specific (WPAI + CIQ:AS). HDM allergic patients with school impairment received subcutaneous AIT with a MicroCrystalline Tyrosine-associated allergoid. WPAI + CIQ:AS and effectiveness variables were compared between baseline and 1-year post-AIT. Of the 113 patients included, 59 (52.2%) and 51 (45.1%) showed school and activity impairment, respectively, missing a mean (SD) of 37.6 (24.4) % and 42.6 (25.6) % of school and activity time, respectively. Twenty-six (23%) caregivers reported activity impairment and, of the 79 (69.9%) employed, 30 (38%) reported work impairment. Of the 65 patients with school/activities impairment, 41 (63.1%) received AIT, of which 21 (51.2%) completed 1 year of treatment. Effectiveness variables and WPAI + CIQ:AS significantly improved: Mean (SD) school impairment decreased from 39.7 (26.7) to 2.1 (7.1) % (p p Conclusion: Allergic asthma due to HDMs results in school/work and activity impairment in children and adolescents and their caregivers. One year of AIT provided clinical benefits and reduced school and activity impairment. What is Known:• Allergic asthma impairs children’s school performance and daily activities.• Allergen immunotherapy modifies allergic disease course and ameliorates its symptoms. What is New:• Asthma symptoms due to allergy to house dust mites impair children’s school attendance and productivity and daily activity and their caregivers’ work performance and daily lives.• Allergen immunotherapy with a house dust mite MicroCrystalline Tyrosine (MCT)-associated allergoid seems to provide clinical benefits, associated with decreased school and activity impairment, supporting it as an effective treatment option.

Tenir un fill amb discapacitat suposa un impacte de gran abast que sovint es pot considerar com a situació traumàtica amb seqüeles de trastorn d’estrès post traumàtic (TEPT) de tipus crònic. Aquest impacte afecta a la vivència de la parentalitat, en el seu més ampli dels sentits (a nivell personal, de parella, familiar, social) i es facilitador de les projeccions d’angoixes primerenques que es transmetran en la relació vincular i dificultaran l’establiment d’un vincle segur així com del procés d’individuació. La dansa moviment teràpia (DMT) com a psicoteràpia que cerca la integració psicofísica de la persona és una molt bona eina per a l’abordatge de la interacció familiar i l’assoliment de vincles relacionals segurs ja sigui des del treball individual (d’un dels progenitors), de parella o bé grupal (ja sigui en grups d’iguals o familiars) Tener un hijo con discapacidad supone un impacto de gran alcance que a menudo se puede considerar como situación traumática con secuelas de trastorno de estrés post traumático (TEPT) de tipo crónico. Este impacto afecta a la vivencia de la parentalidad, en su más amplio de los sentidos (a nivel personal, de pareja, familiar, social) y es facilitador de las proyecciones de angustias tempranas que se transmitirán en la relación vincular y dificultarán el establecimiento de un vínculo seguro así como del proceso de individuación. La danza movimiento terapia (DMT) como psicoterapia que busca la integración psicofísica de la persona es una muy buena herramienta para el abordaje de la interacción familiar y el logro de vínculos relacionales seguros ya sea desde el trabajo individual (de uno los progenitores), de pareja o bien grupal (ya sea en grupos de iguales o familiares). Having a child with a disability has a powerful impact that can often be considered as a traumatic situation with sequels of a chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This impact affects the experience of parenting, in its widest sense (personal, couple, family, social) and facilitates the projections of primary anguish that will be transmitted in the attachment relation and that will difficult to establishing a secure attachment as well as the individualization process. The dance movement therapy (DMT) as a psychotherapy that seeks the psychophysical integration of the person is a very good tool for the approach of family interaction and the achievement of secure attachment either from individual focus (from one of the parents), as a couple or group (in groups of peers or families).
