Little is known about how children with asthma perceive their own ability to cope with asthma symptoms. A descriptive study of children with asthma (N = 78) attending a camp in the Midwest sought to identify the frequency and effectiveness of coping strategies that school-age children use when having a problem with asthma. A self-report instrument, the Schoolagers' Coping Strategies Inventory (SCSI), was used to measure coping strategies from the children's perspective. Results indicated that 4 of the 5 most effective strategies were also used most frequently, including "try to relax or stay calm," "watch TV or listen to music," "do something about it," and "say I'm sorry or tell the truth." Self-report information about coping strategies adds important data to nurses' assessment of children with asthma.
关于哮喘儿童如何看待自己应对哮喘症状的能力，我们知之甚少。一项针对美国中西部一个营地中78名哮喘儿童的描述性研究，旨在确定学龄儿童在哮喘发作时使用的应对策略的频率和有效性。一种自我报告工具——学龄儿童应对策略量表（SCSI），被用于从儿童的角度衡量应对策略。结果表明，5种最有效的策略中有4种也是使用最频繁的，包括“试着放松或保持冷静”“看电视或听音乐”“采取行动”以及“说对不起或说实话”。关于应对策略的自我报告信息为护士评估哮喘儿童提供了重要数据。
