In this paper we discuss how patients cope with asthma and suggest that individuals use medical advice selectively in a manner they consider appropriate to their personal and social circumstances. Use of medical services is influenced by patients' perception of the effectiveness of medical therapies, concern about the long-term use of drugs, access to alternative therapies, support and advice from others and the need to make particular sense of living with a chronic disease. Some people are reluctant to use medical services under any circumstances.
在本文中,我们讨论了患者如何应对哮喘,并建议个人以他们认为适合其个人和社会情况的方式有选择地采纳医学建议。医疗服务的使用受到患者对医学治疗效果的认知、对长期用药的担忧、获得替代疗法的机会、他人的支持与建议以及应对慢性病所需特殊认知的影响。有些人在任何情况下都不愿使用医疗服务。
