Mahidol University Nursing Objective: To examine causal relationships among asthma self-management behaviors, asthma symptom control, health-related quality of life and the influencing factors among Thai adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling. A total of 240 adolescent-caregiver dyads from three tertiary hospitals in Bangkok, Thailand was ultimately included. Interviews and self-administered questionnaires assessing health-related quality of life, asthma symptom control, asthma self-management behaviors, health literacy, depression, comorbidities, family support, peer support, home environmental management, and relationships with health care providers were administered between November 2020 and July 2021. A hypothesized model based on the revised self- and family-management framework was proposed. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and path analysis. Results: It was shown that the proposed model was a good fit for the empirical data and accounted for 67.2% of the variance in health-related quality of life. Depression and asthma symptom control directly affected quality of life (β = −0.132, P < 0.05; and β = 0.740, P < 0.05, respectively), while asthma self-management behaviors did not. Both depression and asthma self-management behaviors had indirect effects on the quality of life through asthma symptom control (β = −0.382, P < 0.05; and β = 0.225, P < 0.05, respectively). Health literacy (β = 0.343, P < 0.05), family support (β = 0.167, P < 0.05), peer support (β = 0.163, P < 0.05), and relationships with health care providers (β = 0.181, P < 0.05) also showed direct effects on asthma self-management behaviors. Conclusion: The findings confirmed the causal relationships among asthma symptom control, self-management behaviors, depression and health-related quality of life. Health literacy, support from family and peers, and relationships with health care providers were also found to influence asthma self-management behaviors. To achieve effective asthma control and good quality of life, a nursing intervention promoting asthma self-management for Thai adolescents should be developed. Early detection and intervention of depressive symptoms are also suggested. 2023-07-27T18:02:13Z 2023-07-27T18:02:13Z 2023-01-01 Article International Journal of Nursing Sciences (2023) 10.1016/j.ijnss.2023.06.001 23520132 2-s2.0-85165075882 https://repository.li.mahidol.ac.th/handle/123456789/88105 SCOPUS |
