Recent UK policy has highlighted the importance of a young person's family in their care and the need for health professionals to work in partnership with young people and their parents. This research provides health professionals with an insight into how the responsibilities for different aspects of medicine management are shared between young people and their parents in the home. It highlights the dynamic nature of partnerships between parents and young people and the considerable role of young people in medicine management in the home, which contrasts with their more limited involvement in consultations with health care professionals. The findings are based on semi-structured interviews conducted in the participants' own homes, with 69 young people aged 8-15 years (43 young people with asthma; 26 young people with diabetes) and their parents (138 interviews in total), recruited through general practice (GP) surgeries.
英国最近的政策强调了年轻人家庭在其护理中的重要性，以及健康专业人员与年轻人及其父母合作的必要性。这项研究让健康专业人员深入了解了在家中年轻人及其父母如何分担药物管理不同方面的责任。它突出了父母与年轻人之间伙伴关系的动态性质，以及年轻人在家庭药物管理中的重要作用，这与他们在与医疗保健专业人员咨询时参与度较低形成对比。研究结果基于在参与者家中进行的半结构化访谈，访谈对象为69名8至15岁的年轻人（43名哮喘患者；26名糖尿病患者）及其父母（共138次访谈），通过全科医生诊所招募。
