Abstract:

The impact of family environmental factors on children with asthma was studied by comparatively analyzing effects of family environmental factors on children with asthma and healthy children to provide a feasible basis for the psychological care. Family Environment Scale Chinese Version (FES-CV) was used conduct a questionnaire on the family environment of 40 children with asthma and 40 healthy children. Scores of the cohesion, emotional expression, successness, entertainment and organization of children in the asthma group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while scores of contradiction were higher than those in the control group. A relatively poor family environment could affect more in children with asthma compared with healthy children, suggesting that that more attention should be paid to the improvement of children’s families and a proper targeted psychological intervention should be given to the children.
