方法：研究設計為問卷調查法，篩選符合研究對象之60位氣喘兒童的父母，瞭解其對氣喘兒童自我管理之重要衛教需求。

結果：本問卷調查的結果，最重要的自我管理衛教需求分別為：(1)氣喘的定義；(2)氣喘與感冒的區別；(3)長期服用氣喘藥物對身體的影響；(4)運動誘發型氣喘的定義；(5)氣喘平時日常生活的保養資訊；(6)氣喘發作時的症狀。
 

結論/實務應用：本研究結果可作為未來設計學齡期氣喘兒童自我管理計畫之參考。

關鍵詞：學齡兒童、氣喘、自我管理需求。

Abstract

Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted with 60 parents, who have children with moderate to severe asthma, to understand the priority of the self-management needs of education.
 

Results: Results from this survey presented the priority of the self-management needs of education for those families as following: (1) the definition of asthma, (2) the differences between asthma and a common cold, (3) the side effect of asthma medicine for long-term using, (4) the clarification of exercise induced asthma (EIA), (5) particular information for children with asthma in daily life care, and (6) the warning signs or symptoms for asthma attack.
 

Conclusions/ Implications for practice: The result of this study may serve as a guideline to design the self-management program for school age children with asthma.
