这项研究的目的是确定自我管理技能，当教给哮喘儿童和他们的父母时，是否会提高药物依从性。后者通过各种程序进行评估，包括血清茶碱水平，父母的药片计数和自我监测措施。结果表明，接受自我管理培训的小组在药物依从性、自我概念或健康控制点方面没有比只接受自我监控的小组有更大的提高。然而，前一组的孩子比后一组的孩子更有责任为他们的攻击发起适当的治疗。
The aim of the study was to determine whether self-management skills, when taught to asthmatic children and their parents, would improve medication compliance. The latter was assessed by a variety of procedures including serum theophylline levels, pill counts by parents, and self-monitoring measures. Results indicated a group receiving self-management training showed no greater gains in medication compliance, self-concept, or health locus of control than did a self-monitoring-only group. However, children in the former group became more responsible for initiating appropriate treatment for their attacks than did youngsters in the latter group.
