This paper describes the impact of an asthma self-management program for parents and children on the school performance and adjustment of children with asthma. Program participants were predominantly low income, minority families enrolled in four pediatric outpatient clinics. The educational content of the program was based on a needs assessment of the participants and recommendations of medical consultants. Parents and children participated separately in group sessions that focused on the development of self-management skills and problem solving. The program was organized into six themes including "how to help your child (yourself) do well in school." The program was evaluated with an experimental research design and yielded significant school related benefits. Children participating in the program maintained better grades. Math, reading and science grades were higher relative to control group children in the year following the program. Within a subgroup of children who received care from private practitioners, program children exhibited better social adjustment to school than did control group children.
本文描述了一项针对家长和儿童的哮喘自我管理项目对哮喘儿童学业表现和适应情况的影响。项目参与者主要是来自四个儿科门诊的低收入少数族裔家庭。该项目的教育内容基于对参与者的需求评估和医学顾问的建议。家长和孩子分别参加小组会议，重点是自我管理技能的培养和问题解决。该项目分为六个主题，包括“如何帮助你的孩子（你自己）在学校取得好成绩”。该项目采用实验研究设计进行评估，产生了显著的与学校相关的益处。参与该项目的儿童保持了更好的成绩。在项目后的一年里，数学、阅读和科学成绩相对于对照组儿童更高。在接受私人执业医生治疗的儿童亚组中，参与项目的儿童比对照组儿童表现出更好的社会适应能力。
