There is a large prevalence of asthma, particularly among Hispanic children. Although physical activity is a good way to manage asthma, more Hispanic children with asthma lack activity than their healthy classmates. Given this, the purpose of this study was to explore the development of exercise perceptions in Hispanic children with asthma and to further develop an existing explanatory theory.
Grounded theory was the approach for the study. Grounded theory illuminated components of exercise perceptions from participants. Participants included Hispanic children with asthma, their families, and professionals who work with Hispanic children with asthma ( n = 29).
Findings from this study supported the previously identified grounded theory called The Process of Creating Perceptions of Exercise. In addition, two new concepts ( cultural and peer influences) were identified that further explain the category of exercise influences.
The revised theory can be used to assist in developing nursing interventions aimed at increasing exercise participation among Hispanic children with asthma.
哮喘的患病率很高，尤其是在西班牙裔儿童中。尽管体育活动是控制哮喘的好方法，但患有哮喘的西班牙裔儿童比他们健康的同学缺乏运动。鉴于此，本研究的目的是探讨患有哮喘的西班牙裔儿童运动认知的发展，并进一步完善现有的解释性理论。
本研究采用扎根理论方法。扎根理论阐明了参与者运动认知的组成部分。参与者包括患有哮喘的西班牙裔儿童、他们的家人以及与患有哮喘的西班牙裔儿童一起工作的专业人员（n = 29）。
本研究的结果支持了先前确定的名为“形成运动认知的过程”的扎根理论。此外，还确定了两个新概念（文化和同伴影响），它们进一步解释了运动影响的类别。
修订后的理论可用于协助制定护理干预措施，以提高患有哮喘的西班牙裔儿童的运动参与度。
