| Abstract |
Purpose
: Many studies showed that the asthmatic children mostly have psychosocial
problem such as depression or anxiety. The object of this study is to help the asthmatic
children and their family by knowing what is their mothers‘ biggest concern about their
asthmatic children.
Methods
: We made up a questionnaire with asked the mothers by telephone. If they
though asthma had a certain effect on their asthmatic children‘s activity, depression,
anxiety, positiveness, scholastic achievement, friendship, pleasure, concentration, anger,
growth and development. We asked the mothers whose children had visited the pediatric
department in st. colomban‘s hospital from 1990 to 1996 and had been diagnosed and
treated as asthma, and whose asthmatic children were between 7 and 21.
Results
: More than half of the mothers who got a phone-call said that their children
had problems in house life, school life, social life due to asthma and frequent asthmatic
attack made their children less concentrated, inactive, less scholastic achieved, but there
were few who said that asthma seemed to have an effect on their children‘s friendship,
depression, pleasure.
Conclusions
: In the psychological aspect, the mothers may concern more if their children
cannot keep up with the competitive social tendency closely related to concentration and
scholastic achievement than if their children have some emotional disorder or behavial
disorder such as depression and anxiety. |
