Abstract

Introduction: Caregivers play an important role in their child's asthma management. This study examines the association of caregiver empowerment with family asthma management, and the patient-provider relationship for urban children and their caregivers.

Method: Data were collected between 2011 and 2014. Participants were racially diverse dyads of caregivers and children (N = 141) between 7 and 9 years old diagnosed with asthma, living in urban school districts.

Results: Results showed that caregiver empowerment was not associated with family asthma management; however, better family asthma management ratings were related to having a caregiver born in the United States who spoke English, and an annual family income above the poverty threshold. Caregiver empowerment was inversely associated with the patient-provider relationship, suggesting that caregiver increased comfort in navigating one's community and health services was associated with lower ratings of the patient-provider relationship.

Discussion: The findings highlight the importance of considering caregiver empowerment when understanding the patient-provider relationship for children diagnosed with asthma. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

照顾者赋权，家庭哮喘管理，以及哮喘儿童的医患关系。

简介：照顾者在孩子的哮喘管理中起着重要的作用。本研究探讨了照顾者赋权与家庭哮喘管理的关系，以及城市儿童及其照顾者的患者-提供者关系。方法：收集2011 - 2014年的数据。参与者是来自不同种族的照顾者和儿童（N = 141），年龄在7到9岁之间，被诊断患有哮喘，生活在城市学区。结果：结果显示，照顾者赋权与家庭哮喘管理无关；然而，更好的家庭哮喘管理评级与有一个在美国出生的会说英语的照顾者，以及家庭年收入高于贫困线有关。护理人员的授权与患者-提供者关系呈负相关，这表明护理人员在社区和卫生服务中导航的舒适性增加与患者-提供者关系的较低评级相关。讨论：研究结果强调了在理解哮喘患儿的医患关系时考虑照顾者赋权的重要性。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
