This study is a descriptive type of research that examines the effects of mothers’ health literacy, self-efficacy and health-seeking practices on their child’s level of asthma control. All twelve mothers; (6) from private clinics and (6) from public hospitals, that have at least one asthmatic child were selected through chain referral non-probability sampling technique. Most of them are middle aged, with age range of 33-53 and average age of 42.57. Most of the mothers’ perceived themselves as having enough knowledge on asthma and appropriate skills on asthma management. Mothers’ health literacy helped them become capable of controlling their child’s asthmatic condition but only if the attack was mild. Although, all mothers consult with medical doctors, more than half of them (7/12) still employ traditional means in attending to their child in the hopes that the combining the traditional and modern practices might work and permanently control the asthma condition of their child. Thus, assimilation of traditional and modern beliefs and practices influence their health seeking behaviour and perceived capability as care giver in controlling the condition of their asthmatic child. Most mothers perceived their level of asthma control of the condition of their child as “well-controlled” as fewer symptoms and attacks were experienced by their child. 2010-10-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/etd_masteral/6672 https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/context/etd_masteral/article/12868/viewcontent/CDTG004845_P.pdf Master's Theses English Animo Repository Health literacy Mother and child Asthma in children—Prevention Mothers—Psychology Medicine and Health Social and Behavioral Sciences
