Children experience stressors related to self-concept and school, family, and peer relationships. This study of children with asthma determined their perceptions of the frequency and severity of stressors they experience other than their asthma. Children with asthma are similar to peers with regard to perceptions of stressors. Teachers, health professionals, and parents should consider children with asthma as normal children who have an additional source of stress--a chronic illness. Results suggest perceptions of most stressors relate more strongly to gender-role development than to asthma. Children with asthma rated feeling left out of the group and not being good enough at sports as serious stressors. School personnel could be instrumental in encouraging management and prevention of exercise-induced asthma and promote all children's full participation in physical activities. Further examination of the relationship between stress and asthma is needed.
儿童会经历与自我概念、学校、家庭及同伴关系相关的压力源。这项针对哮喘患儿的研究确定了他们对自身所经历的除哮喘之外的压力源的频率和严重程度的认知。哮喘患儿在对压力源的认知方面与同龄人相似。教师、健康专业人员和家长应将哮喘患儿视为有额外压力源——一种慢性疾病——的正常儿童。结果表明，大多数压力源的认知与性别角色发展的关联比与哮喘的关联更强。哮喘患儿将被群体排斥和体育方面不够出色视为严重的压力源。学校工作人员在鼓励运动诱发性哮喘的管理和预防以及促进所有儿童充分参与体育活动方面可能发挥重要作用。需要进一步研究压力与哮喘之间的关系。
