An educational training program for children with asthma, aged between 8 and 13 years, was evaluated in an 18-month randomized, controlled experiment, including three follow-up evaluations. The objective of the program is to improve coping with asthma in daily life. The program, ten 1-hour sessions, is a combination of self-management training and cognitive behaviour therapy in a group, using games and learning materials specifically designed for this age group. From 195 asthmatic children, 112 with inadequate self-management abilities were selected; these children were randomly divided into an experimental group and two control groups. The results indicated highly significant differences in favor of the experimental group on the psychological and medical variables. There were no drop-outs during the program. The conclusion is that this multi-faceted program is an effective method of teaching children how to cope with their asthma and helping them to achieve a less anxious and more realistic attitude towards their illness.
一项针对8至13岁哮喘儿童的教育培训项目在一项为期18个月的随机对照实验中进行了评估，该实验包括三次随访评估。该项目的目标是改善日常生活中对哮喘的应对能力。该项目为期十个1小时的课程，是自我管理培训和团体认知行为疗法的结合，使用专门为该年龄组设计的游戏和学习材料。从195名哮喘儿童中，挑选出112名自我管理能力不足的儿童；这些儿童被随机分为实验组和两个对照组。结果表明，在心理和医学变量方面，实验组具有高度显著的优势。项目实施过程中没有儿童退出。结论是，这个多方面的项目是一种有效的方法，可以教会儿童如何应对哮喘，并帮助他们对自己的疾病采取不那么焦虑和更现实的态度。
