Psychological intervention in severe asthma: from theory to practice.
Background: Severe asthma is frequently associated with psychological comorbidities that negatively affect disease control and quality of life. Despite clinical guideline recommendations, psychological care remains limited in multidisciplinary asthma units.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of an online group psychological intervention in improving emotional well-being and disease control in patients with severe asthma.
Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted between 2021 and 2024 in a specialized severe asthma unit. The intervention consisted of eight weekly online sessions combining cognitive-behavioral techniques and emotional regulation strategies. Psychological and quality-of-life variables were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and at 6 and 12 months of follow-up.
Results: A total of 41 patients completed the program. Significant and sustained improvements were observed in anxiety, depression, hyperventilation, and asthma-related quality of life up to 12 months after the intervention. No changes were found in alexithymia, perceived social support, or family functioning.
Conclusion: An online group psychological intervention is a feasible and effective approach to improving emotional health and quality of life in patients with severe asthma. Its integration into asthma care units may contribute to a more comprehensive and patient-centered management strategy.
