Is Rural School-aged Children's Quality of Life Affected by Their Responses to Asthma?
Overview
Affiliations
The unpredictable nature of asthma makes it stressful for children and can affect their quality of life (QOL). An exploratory analysis of 183 rural school-aged children's data was conducted to determine relationships among demographic factors, children's responses to asthma (coping and asthma self-management), and their QOL. Coping frequency, asthma severity, and race/ethnicity significantly predicted children's asthma-related QOL. Children reported more frequent coping as asthma-related QOL worsened (higher scores). Children with more asthma severity had worse asthma-related QOL. Post hoc analyses showed that racial/ethnic minorities reported worse asthma-related QOL scores than did non-Hispanic Whites.
