Objective: Asthma is one of the most prevalent public health problems worldwide, known to be difficult to control. This study investigates the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients with asthma and evaluate asthma control using the asthma control test (ACT). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between 13 th January 2020 to 27 th February 2020 at Kırşehir Ahi Evran University Training and Research Hospital. ACT and general information form were used for data collection. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of adult asthma patients. Two-dimensional graphics were plotted to investigate the patterns between asthma control levels and these risk factors. Results: Out of 140 participants, n=17 (12.1%) were found to have partly controlled asthma. Exercise habit was associated with uncontrolled asthma levels (p=0.043). Male gender, irregular drug use, and lower body mass index (BMI) were associated with higher ACT scores. Partially controlled asthma levels were associated with males, high school graduates, and normal weight, irregular drug use. Uncontrolled asthma levels were related to obesity, regular drug use, and females, housewives, patients aged between 41 and 50 years, having primary school degrees, and illiterate participants. Male gender was found as a sociodemographic risk factor, while lower BMI and irregular drug use were recorded as clinical risk factors. Moreover, a high prevalence of uncontrolled asthma (87.9%) was revealed among adult asthma patients. Conclusion: Training programs for patients with asthama regarding the risk factors are suggested to be organized to increase the awareness of asthma.

Objective: This study examines the epidemiological characteristics, employment status, and professional characteristics of children and their parents who had been diagnosed with Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Methods: The study population consisted of 300 children with COVID-19 who applied to our hospital between October 2020 and January 2021. During the interviews, the working status of the parents, the sector they work in, occupational groups, household income levels, health insurance, COVID-19 expenditures, and income scores were recorded. Results: The median age of the cases was 156 [minimum-maximum (min-max): 7-216] months and 157 (52.3%) were girls. There were 75 (25%) working mothers and 254 (84.7%) fathers among the parents. There were 11 (3.7%) parents who were unemployed due to the pandemic. The median household income was 3000 (min-max: 0-25000) Turkish liras/361 (min-max: 0-3012) US dollars, and 128 cases (42.7%) spent due to COVID-19. When the cases were compared according to their COVID-19 spending status, it was seen that permanent working fathers had more expenditures related to COVID-19 than non-permanent fathers (p=0.019). Participants with a household income score of 0-5 were found to spend less due to COVID-19 than participants with a household income score of 6-10 (p=0.029). Conclusion: The population of our study consists of families with low household income and predominantly working in basic occupations. It is noteworthy that the economic burden on families has increased with COVID-19 infection. Moreover, families are negatively affected economically due to job losses and increased expenditures during the pandemic period.
