Uncontrolled asthma in adolescents constitutes a public health issue with physical, emotional, and social implications. Despite the availability of effective treatments, poor therapeutic adherence remains a critical barrier to achieving disease control. This article presents a clinical and salutogenic intervention proposal based on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy and positive psychology, aiming to improve both treatment adherence and psychological well-being in adolescents diagnosed with uncontrolled asthma. The intervention involves structured group sessions that address dysfunctional beliefs, strengthen self-efficacy, promote positive emotions, and enhance personal and contextual resources. This approach not only seeks to reduce distress but also to foster psychological flourishing among adolescents, representing an innovative perspective that opens new avenues for clinical intervention and research in this population, as well as in individuals with other chronic conditions.
