Abstract
Effect of illness perception on improving asthma symptoms with omega-3 fish oil therapy: Pre-post design
Highlights
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways that involves inflammatory cells that cause episodic symptoms, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and cough
Most of the highest illness perception regarding symptoms and symptoms related to asthma respondents experienced on the individual values, related to symptoms are fixed

Research on the role of illness perception in medical conditions has grown rapidly in recent years This is the beginning of the development of a scale to measure disease beliefs, such as the illness perception questionnaire (IPQ), and by strong associations can be found a relationship between patient perceptions of their disease and the results of their behavior. The study aims to see illness perception toward their asthma by using the IPQ and see the effect of omega-3 fish oil on asthma control measured using the ACT
