城市青少年哮喘患者应用补充和替代医学以及社会心理转归
2012/08/28
摘要
目的:许多罹患哮喘的青少年采用补充和替代医学(CAM)进行哮喘管理。本试验旨在CAM使用较多和较少的城市青少年哮喘患者中研究社会心理健康转归的横断面和纵向差异。
方法:青少年在两次间隔时间为1年的门诊就医中(时间点1:n=151;时间点2:n=131),完成有关10个CAM方法使用、精神健康和健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)的自我主诉检测。本研究为一项大型研究的一部分。采用后退剔除的多变量回归分析,在控制主要的协变量后,分析时间点1时CAM使用与时间点1和2时转归的相关性;纵向分析时,对时间点1的功能进行控制。
结果:参与者(中位年龄=15.8岁,SD=1.85)主要为非洲裔美国人(n=129[85%])和女性哮喘青少年患者(n=91[60%])。横断面研究和纵向研究均显示,在数个社会心理健康转归上,CAM使用较多和较少的患者具有显著差异。横断面多变量分析中,祈祷频率更多与更好的社会心理学HRQoL相关(R2=0.22)。多变量分析未见纵向相关性。
结论:特定的CAM方法与社会心理学转归的关系也不尽相同,表明个体使用CAM的重要性。横断面研究显示,祈祷频率更多与更好的社会心理学HRQoL相关。对主要协变量进行控制后,随着时间延长,CAM使用与社会心理学转归并不相关。有必要进一步在对照试验中研究CAM使用的影响。

Abstract
OBJECTIVE:Many adolescents with asthma use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for asthma symptom management. The purpose of this study was to investigate cross-sectional and longitudinal differences in psychosocial health outcomes between high and low CAM users among urban adolescents with asthma.
METHODS:Adolescents (Time 1: N = 151, Time 2: N = 131) completed self-report measures regarding the use of 10 CAM modalities, mental health, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following two clinic visits 1 year apart as part of a larger observational study. Multivariable regression analyses using backward elimination examined relationships between CAM use at Time 1 and outcomes at Time 1 and Time 2, controlling for key covariates and, in longitudinal analyses, Time 1 functioning.
RESULTS:Participants (M(age) = 15.8, SD = 1.85) were primarily African-American (n = 129 [85%]) and female (n = 91 [60%]) adolescents with asthma. High and low CAM users differed significantly in terms of several psychosocial health outcomes, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. In cross-sectional multivariable analyses, greater frequency of praying was associated with better psychosocial HRQoL (R(2) = 0.22). No longitudinal relationships remained significant in multivariable analyses.
CONCLUSIONS:Specific CAM techniques are differentially associated with psychosocial outcomes, indicating the importance of examining CAM modalities individually. Greater frequency of praying was cross-sectionally associated with better psychosocial HRQoL. When controlling for key covariates, CAM use was not associated with psychosocial outcomes over time. Further research should examine the effects of CAM use in controlled research settings.
