Adequate asthma management depends on an accurate identification of asthma triggers. A review of the literature on trigger perception in asthma shows that individuals vary in their perception of asthma triggers and that the correlation between self-reported asthma triggers and allergy tests is only modest. In this article, we provide an overview of psychological mechanisms involved in the process of asthma triggers identification. We identify sources of errors in trigger identification and targets for behavioural interventions that aim to improve the accuracy of asthma trigger identification and thereby enhance asthma control.
哮喘的充分管理取决于对哮喘诱因的准确识别。对哮喘诱因感知的文献综述表明，个体对哮喘诱因的感知存在差异，且自我报告的哮喘诱因与过敏测试之间的相关性也只是中等程度。本文概述了哮喘诱因识别过程中涉及的心理机制。我们确定了在识别诱因时可能出现的错误来源，并找到了行为干预的目标，旨在提高哮喘诱因识别的准确性，从而改善哮喘控制。
