Abstract:

 Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of self-efficacy of children and adolescents with asthma on their quality of life. Material and Method: This descriptive study was conducted with 137 children and adolescents between the ages of 10-18 who were followed up by the respiratory allergies clinic of a university hospital by using the Asthmatic Child and Adolescent Information Form, Asthmatic Child and Adolescent Self-Efficacy Scale and Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire. Results: The study showed that 34.3 of the factors triggering asthma attacks in children and adolescents with asthma included in the study were pollen, 27.7 were house dust mites, 16.8 were animals and 46.0 of children and adolescents had an asthma attack after physical activities. Considering the sub-dimensions according to the childrens quality of life score averages, the highest mean score was in the symptom group. While the total quality of life and its sub-dimension scores of children and adolescents with asthma were moderate and high, self-efficacy and its sub-dimensions scores were found to be moderate. Conclusion: Pediatric nurses should support children and adolescents from the beginning of diagnosis in order to teach coping approaches, and increase their quality of life and self-efficacy levels during asthma attacks.

 Amaç: Bu araştırma astımlı çocuk ve adölesanların öz-etkililiklerinin yaşam kalitelerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma, bir üniversite hastanesinin solunum alerjileri kliniğinde Astımlı Çocuk ve Adölesan Bilgi Formu, Astımlı Çocuk ve Adölesanlar için Öz-Etkililik Ölçeği ve Çocuklar için Astım Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği kullanılarak, takip edilen 10-18 yaş arası 137 çocuk ve adölesan ile yapıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen astımlı çocuk ve adölesanlarda astım ataklarını tetikleyen faktörlerin 34,3ünün polen, 27,7sinin ev tozu akarları, 16,8inin hayvanlar olduğu ve çocuk ve adölesanların fiziksel aktiviteleri sonrasında 46.0 sının astım atağı geçirdiği bulundu. Çocukların yaşam kalitesi puan ortalamalarına göre alt boyutlara bakıldığında; en yüksek ortalama puanı semptom grubundadır. Astımlı çocuk ve adölesanların toplam yaşam kalitesi ve alt boyutları puanları orta ve yüksek düzeyde iken, öz-etkililik ve alt boyutları orta düzeyde olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Pediatri hemşireleri, astım atakları sırasında çocuklara ve ergenlere başedici yaklaşımlar öğretmek ve yaşam kalitelerini ve öz-yeterlik düzeylerini artırmak için tanı başlangıcından itibaren desteklemelidir.
