你的朋友怎么样?探索哮喘患者与同伴之间的互动
2011/07/06
摘要
目的:基于学校的哮喘干预研究显示,此类干预措施有效,但在塑造哮喘相关情感经历时,这些研究可能对同伴之间互动对哮喘的影响不是很敏感。本研究旨在小学低年级哮喘儿童中描述同伴间的互动与哮喘相关情感经历、哮喘控制和哮喘转归之间的关系。
方法:数据来自于评价基于学校的哮喘干预措施效果的随机试验。单变量和多变量统计分析用于研究同伴间互动与哮喘相关感兴趣变量间的关系。
结果:对835名看护者和儿童访谈进行分析。研究不区分男女,31%的患者哮喘未控制或控制较差,44%的患者正在用药。总体来说,26%的儿童能与朋友讨论哮喘相关问题。女性患儿更倾向于与同伴讨论哮喘相关问题(p <0.05),而且更有可能主诉他们对哮喘担忧、关心,以及常受到哮喘的困扰(p <0.01)。此外,女性患儿与男性患儿在情感生活质量上存在显著差异。与同伴讨论哮喘相关问题的儿童更容易拿哮喘开玩笑(OR = 2.47; 95% CI 1.57, 3.89)及主诉朋友可帮助处理哮喘(OR = 1.79; 95% CI 1.07, 3.01)。
结论:基于学校的哮喘干预措施,应该对哮喘相关的情感转归、哮喘同伴间互动的影响较为敏感。向哮喘患儿提供交流技巧,教会儿童与同伴交流哮喘状态相关信息,这有助于相互间的互动。

Abstract
PURPOSE: School-based asthma interventions have been shown to be effective, but many may not be sensitive to the influence of peer interactions in shaping asthma-related emotional experiences. This exploratory study describes associations between peer interactions and asthma-related emotional experiences, asthma control, and outcomes among elementary-aged children with asthma.
METHODS:Data come from the baseline assessment of a randomized trial evaluating the effect of a school-based asthma intervention. Univariate and multivariate statistics were completed to examine associations between peer interactions and asthma-related variables of interest.
RESULTS:Eight hundred and thirty-five caregiver and child interviews were used in the analysis. Both males and females were enrolled in this study, 31% had not well controlled or poorly controlled asthma and 44% reported taking asthma medications. Overall, 26% of children talked to friends about asthma. Females were significantly more likely to talk to friends about asthma (p < .05) and more likely to report that they were worried, concerned, or troubled about asthma (p < .01). Significant differences in emotional quality of life between males and females were also found. Children who reported talking to friends about asthma were more likely to report teasing about asthma (OR = 2.47; 95% CI 1.57, 3.89) and to report that friends help with their asthma (OR = 1.79; 95% CI 1.07, 3.01).
CONCLUSIONS: School-based asthma interventions should be sensitive to emotional-related outcomes associated with asthma and the influence of asthma-related peer interactions. Providing children with communication strategies for disclosure of asthma status to peers that result in more supportive interactions may be needed.
