Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine perceptions of children and parents regarding shared responsibilities for asthma management. DESIGN AND METHODS: The study included 72 children with asthma who were between the ages of 7 and 12 years and their parents. Asthma management responsibilities were assessed by the "Asthma Responsibility Questionnaire." RESULTS: Disagreements occurred between parents and children on assuming responsibility. Children reported higher asthma management responsibility scores than reported by parents for them. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: It is important that nurses provide education and counseling to both children and their families to ensure that children take responsibility for disease management.
