This study has explored the valence of sibship that may empower the self-esteem of children with asthma at the interpersonal, environmental control competence, emotionality management, and body-image levels. It has been assumed that the relationship between siblings may have a moderating effect on the negative impact that asthma has on child's development. Seventy children suffering from chronic asthma have been involved: 40 children with siblings (experimental group) and 30 sibling-free children (control group). The children with asthma have exhibited higher levels of self-esteem in comparison with the sibling-free children. The results of the study, at the clinical significance level, highlight how meaningful could be the involvement of healthy siblings to support the development, and to ease the compliance of children suffering from asthma. The outcomes have confirmed the supportive valence of sibship for the self-esteem of the children with asthma.
本研究探讨了同胞关系在人际、环境控制能力、情绪管理和身体形象层面上对哮喘患儿自尊的影响。研究假设同胞关系可能会对哮喘对儿童发育产生的负面影响起到调节作用。研究纳入了70名患有慢性哮喘的儿童：40名有同胞的儿童（实验组）和30名无同胞的儿童（对照组）。与无同胞的儿童相比，哮喘患儿表现出更高水平的自尊。在临床意义层面上，研究结果凸显了健康同胞的参与对于支持哮喘患儿发育以及提高其依从性的重要意义。研究结果证实了同胞关系对哮喘患儿自尊具有支持作用。
