Abstract

             Introduction : Asthma is a common chronic disease in school-age children. If not properly controlled, it can affect quality of life and increase healthcare utilization. Promoting self-management is an important approach to disease control.

            Objective : To study the effects of a self-regulation program on health behaviors and lung function in school-age children with asthma.

            Research Design and Methods : A quasi-experimental research with two groups, pre-test and post-test design. The sample consisted of 66 school-age children with asthma receiving care at Phayakkhaphumphisai Hospital, divided into experimental and control groups of 33 each. The experimental group received a self-regulation program based on Bandura's concept. Data were collected using an asthma control behavior questionnaire and lung function tests. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test.

            Results : After the experiment, the experimental group had significantly higher mean scores of asthma control behaviors than before the experiment and higher than the control group (p-value<0.05). They also had significantly higher lung function values than before the experiment and higher than the control group (p-value<0.05).

Conclusion : The self-regulation program was effective in promoting disease control behaviors and improving lung function in school-age children with asthma. It should be applied in the care of school-age children with asthma for effective disease control.
