Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore parents' attributions for their children's behaviour and their beliefs about treatment efficacy, and to investigate the specific topics and strategies parents believe would be most beneficial in a parenting intervention. A survey of 165 parents and qualitative interviews with 13 parents were conducted, assessing child behaviour, parental attributions and intervention characteristics. The findings indicated that parents were confident in their ability to manage the challenges of asthma, and in general, believed that five key asthma treatment recommendations were at least moderately helpful in managing their child's asthma. Many parents believed that asthma medications were related to behavioural difficulties including hyperactivity, disruptiveness, and disobedience. Nearly half of the parents were concerned about how to best manage their child's asthma, and a number of themes were identified as important intervention elements. The implications of these findings for intervention development are discussed.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 May 2012.
All research outputs
#17,654,408
of 22,661,413 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Child Health Care
#522
of 597 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#190,007
of 243,250 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Child Health Care
#11
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,661,413 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 597 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 243,250 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
