Abstract
Childhood asthma is a worldwide problem with increasing prevalence. Adolescents (N 313) completed the Perceived Family Support Scale. Data showed that lower social support was associated with low medication adherence. Nurses can identify adolescents who feel and experience a lack of family support and enhance their nursing care accordingly.
