Asthma is the most common chronic disease among children and adults. It occurs at any age, but it most often occurs in childhood. The disease is caused by a combination of genetic factors and environmental factors. Recurring episodes of wheezing, coughing that is especially at night, shortness of breath, exposure to exertion, exposure to allergens, excitement indicate the possibility of asthma. The most common symptoms of asthma are shortness of breath, coughing, chest tightness and wheezing. According to the severity of the disease, asthma is classified into four categories: occasional, mildly persistent, moderately persistent and severely persistent. According to the latest guidelines, asthma is classified according to the degree of self-control into controlled, partially controlled and uncontrolled. The goal of asthma treatment is complete control of the disease, which would mean the absence or as few symptoms and exacerbations as possible, normal physical activities and normal lung function. The goal of the research was to show the frequency of asthma in the family and the education of the asthmatic, as well as the familiarity and education of the family of the asthmatic, and their knowledge about asthma. The survey questionnaire used for the purpose of the research was divided into three parts. The first part of the questionnaire consisted of 2 questions, namely the level of education and whether the respondent answers for himself or for a family member suffering from asthma. The second part of the questionnaire consisted of 13 questions answered by people suffering from asthma. The third part of the questionnaire consisted of 11 questions and was intended for families of people with asthma. 101 respondents participated in the research, of which 69 answered for a family member, and 32 answered for themselves. The results show that most of the affected respondents were between the ages of 18 and 28, and that the asthma symptoms of most respondents started in childhood. Most respondents believe that they are very well educated about the disease and that the family is very well informed about the illness of their family member. A bachelor's degree in nursing has a very important role in public health activities and education on primary disease prevention measures. Also, the bachelor's degree educates the patient as well as family members about the disease, health care, the application of therapy and ways to ensure that the patient has the highest possible quality of life with the disease.
