PURPOSE OF REVIEW
Recent research related to sex and gender role influences on asthma in women is summarized. Implications for enhancing women's self-regulation and ability to manage asthma effectively are discussed.
RECENT FINDINGS
Studies in the past year have indicated that asthma is a significant burden on women and emphasized the importance of control, especially during pregnancy. The significance of hormonal variation in symptoms and severity has been noted. An association between weight and asthma has been observed. Evidence suggests that hormonal changes contribute to the asthma prevalence shift from men to women in adolescence. One study showed positive results of focusing on sex-related and gender-related factors in self-regulation education for women. Recent findings imply that enhancing self-regulation and effective management of asthma in women requires attention to sex and gender role influences in clinical counseling and intervention research.
SUMMARY
Clinicians may help female patients with asthma by incorporating sex and gender role related considerations into their clinical consultations. Evidence-based asthma education interventions to assist women with their particular asthma management challenges are needed.
综述目的
总结近期关于性别及性别角色对女性哮喘影响的研究。讨论增强女性自我调节及有效管理哮喘能力的意义。
近期发现
过去一年的研究表明，哮喘给女性带来了沉重负担，并强调了控制的重要性，尤其是在孕期。已注意到激素变化对症状及严重程度的影响。观察到体重与哮喘之间存在关联。有证据表明，激素变化导致青春期哮喘患病率从男性向女性转移。一项研究显示，在针对女性的自我调节教育中关注与性别相关的因素取得了积极成果。近期发现表明，增强女性哮喘的自我调节及有效管理需要在临床咨询和干预研究中关注性别及性别角色的影响。
总结
临床医生可通过在临床会诊中纳入与性别及性别角色相关的考量来帮助患有哮喘的女性患者。需要有循证哮喘教育干预措施来帮助女性应对其特定的哮喘管理挑战。
