Abstract
Background
The study examined whether there were linear and curvilinear relationships between the trust beliefs in physicians by the children, those by their mothers and the children's medical health. The study examined whether there were changes in those relationships across time.
Methods
The data gathered in a previous study were subjected to further analyses. One hundred and forty-three children with asthma (116 males, Mage = 12 years and 7 months) and their mothers were administered standardized scales twice across 1 year. The scales assessed the children's trust beliefs in physicians, the mothers' trust beliefs in physicians, the children's quality of life and the children's adherence to prescribed medical regimes.
Results
Quadratic relationships were found between the children's quality of life and both their and their mothers' trust beliefs in physicians. The quadratic relationship increased over time. Linear relationships were found between trust beliefs in physicians and children's adherence to prescribed medical regimes.
Conclusion
Children with asthma are prone to a lower quality of life when they and their mothers hold very high, as well as hold very low, trust beliefs in physicians. Children's trust beliefs in physicians increase the probability of adherence to prescribed medical regimes.
期刊介绍:
Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
