This study examined the relationships between asthma knowledge, behavior management, and social adaptation among school-age children with asthma. A total of 210 school-age asthmatic children and their parents were recruited from a medical hospital in Taiwan. The children completed asthma knowledge and behavior management questionnaires, and their parents completed the Child and Adolescent Adjustment Profile. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between behavior management and social adaptation among asthmatic children. Asthma knowledge and behavior management were positively associated but did not correlate with children's social adaptation. The behavior management of the children acted as a predictor of their social adaptation. These findings suggest that efforts to raise children's asthma knowledge will benefit these individuals in terms of behavior management. The introduction of asthma behavior management plans could facilitate the social adaptation of asthmatic children and, in particular, increase their independence and reduce their withdrawal as well as enhance their self-confidence and self-esteem.
本研究旨在探讨学龄期哮喘儿童的哮喘知识、行为管理与社会适应之间的关系。共招募了 210 名来自台湾某医院的学龄期哮喘儿童及其家长。儿童完成了哮喘知识和行为管理问卷，家长则完成了儿童青少年适应量表。哮喘儿童的行为管理与社会适应之间存在显著的正相关。哮喘知识和行为管理呈正相关，但与儿童的社会适应无关。儿童的行为管理是其社会适应的预测指标。这些发现表明，提高儿童哮喘知识的努力将有益于他们的行为管理。引入哮喘行为管理计划可以促进哮喘儿童的社会适应，特别是提高他们的独立性，减少他们的退缩，增强他们的自信心和自尊心。
