众所周知,哮喘的病程会受到心理压力和个体经历的影响。在本文中,我们回顾了评估心理压力对哮喘结果影响的文献,并讨论了评估压力的不同方法的利弊,包括主观问卷调查、事件清单和基于访谈的方法。我们进一步讨论了考虑压力的时间和慢性的重要性,以及个人对压力的主观评价。我们建议,虽然问卷调查和检查表方法更容易管理,但在可行的情况下,基于访谈的压力评估更可取,因为它们可以产生有关人们所经历的压力源的更丰富和更深入的信息。此外,这类信息似乎与儿童哮喘结局的相关性更强。
It is well established that the course of asthma can be affected by the psychological stress an individual experiences. In this article we review literature assessing the impact of psychological stress on asthma outcomes and discuss the benefits and disadvantages of different measures for assessing stress, including subjective questionnaires, event checklists, and interview-based approaches. We further discuss the importance of taking into account the timing and chronicity of stress, as well as individuals’ subjective appraisals of stress. We suggest that while questionnaire and checklist approaches are easier to administer, interview-based stress assessments are preferable where feasible as they generate richer and more in-depth information regarding the stressors that people experience. In addition, this kind of information appears to be more robustly linked to pediatric asthma outcomes of interest.
