Overview

Integrative review reveals family stress exacerbates pediatric asthma through psychobiological and behavioral pathways, highlighting the need for multilevel biopsychosocial clinical approaches.

Key Points

  • To synthesize social, psychological, and biological literature regarding associations between family stress and pediatric asthma, illustrating how multilevel systemic models can guide clinical care and future research.
  • Conducted electronic database searches to identify relevant literature.
  • Performed an integrated analysis across selected epidemiological, longitudinal, and empirical studies assessing family or parental stress and childhood asthma outcomes.
  • Substantial evidence demonstrates that family and parental stress impacts pediatric asthma via two primary mechanisms: disease management disruption and psychobiological stress pathways.
  • Integrative models connecting specific biological pathways with social stress dynamics remain scarce in the literature.
  • Two multilevel systemic prototype models supported by empirical data were presented to guide clinical interventions and future systems-level research.
