母亲的疾病认知在识别学龄期哮喘患儿哮喘症状中的作用
2012/12/25
摘要
目的:本实验研究母亲对其子女哮喘的看法与患儿主诉的哮喘症状之间的关系。
方法:参与一项预防吸烟大型研究的有哮喘诊断患儿的家庭入选此研究。共计89名儿童(平均年龄:10.1岁)和87名母亲参与,家访时对其进行问卷调查和肺功能检测。本研究主要转归为儿童生活质量哮喘量表评价的哮喘症状。分析母亲和儿童有关症状的主诉和肺功能参数(FEV1%预测值)与母亲疾病观的关系。
结果:母亲的疾病观与FEV1%预测值无显著相关。然而,对性别和儿童基线水平哮喘症状进行控制后,母亲对疾病8种看法中有4种(鉴别、后果、关注和情感影响)与患儿的哮喘症状相关。在母亲和儿童主诉的哮喘症状模型中,对FEV1%预测值进行控制后,得到类似的结果。
结论:本项预试验研究发现,除了患儿的肺功能和基线水平下的症状,母亲对疾病的看法也与患儿的症状相关生活质量(QOL)相关。有必要进一步研究,阐明母亲的关注和情感与儿童主诉QOL症状关系的潜在机制。

Abstract
OBJECTIVE:To examine the unique contribution of perceptions held by mothers about their children’s asthma in relation to the symptoms as reported by their children.
METHODS:Families with a child diagnosed with asthma participating in a larger smoking prevention study were invited to participate. For all, 89 children (mean age 10.1 years) and 87 mothers questionnaire and lung function data during home visits were provided. The main outcome of this study involved asthma symptoms as measured by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. Mothers’ and children’s reports of symptoms, as well as the lung function parameter of percentage of predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (% of predicted FEV1), were analyzed in relation to maternal illness perceptions.
RESULTS:Mothers’ perceptions of illness were not associated with % of predicted FEV(1.) However, while controlling for gender and children’s baseline asthma symptoms, four out of eight mothers’ perceptions of illness (i.e., identity, consequences, concern, and emotional influence) were associated with children’s asthma symptoms. Additional analyses controlling for % of predicted FEV(1) in the models with subjective asthma symptoms reports of mother and child did not change the study findings. CONCLUSIONS:This pilot study provides evidence that, in addition to children’s lung function and baseline symptoms, maternal perception of illness contributes to symptom-related quality of life (QoL) of children. More research on underlying mechanisms, which addresses the linking of mothers’ perceptions of concern and emotion to the QoL symptoms as reported by children is necessary.
