   摘要
   美国有近710万儿童患有哮喘。一项采用分层立意抽样方法定性的探索性研究，纳入4例拉丁裔和4例非洲裔美国女性看护者的哮喘患儿（6～12岁）。采用开放式问卷调查看护者对看护儿童哮喘情绪反应的认知。采用内容分析法确定主要主题和次要主题。调查结果显示，男童在哮喘发作时较安静；而女童则表现为多话、担忧和兴奋。由该研究所引发的进一步思考是：儿童的反应是否与看护者的a）行为 、b）对哮喘的反应，和/或 c）种族相关。

Minority Caregivers' Emotional Responses and Perceptions of the Emotional Responses of their Children to Asthma: Comparing Boys and Girls.

Walker VG.

Abstract
Approximately 7.1 million children in the US suffer from asthma. An exploratory qualitative study using a stratified purposive sampling method was conducted. The sample included four Latina and four African American female caregivers of children (ages 6-12) who had asthma. Caregivers were asked open-ended questions about perceptions of their children's emotional responses to asthma. Major themes and subthemes were identified with content analysis. Sons were reported as quiet when experiencing asthma. Daughters were described as being verbal, worried, excited. A question from the study was whether the children's responses were related to caregivers' (a) actions, (b) responses to asthma, and/or(c) race/ethnicity.
