Abstract
Background: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that can be effectively controlled when patients engage in appropriate self-management behaviors.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the predictive power of age, comorbidities, and electronic health literacy on self-management behaviors among adolescent patients with asthma.
Methods: A predictive correlational study was conducted among 77 adolescents aged 10–19 years who attended the Allergy and Immunology Clinic of a tertiary hospital in Bangkok. Data were collected using three questionnaires: a personal information form, an electronic health literacy questionnaire, and an asthma self-management behavior questionnaire for adolescents. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple linear regression analysis.
Results: Most adolescents with asthma demonstrated good levels of self-management behavior. (𝑥̅=77.38, SD=12.80) Age, comorbidities, and electronic health literacy together significantly predicted self-management behavior, accounting for 36.2% of the variance (R²=.362, F=13.589, p<.001). Among these variables, comorbidities (β=.212, t=2.153, p=.035) and electronic health literacy (β=.454, t=3.530, p<.001) were significant predictors of self-management behavior.
Conclusion: Adolescent patients with asthma who have comorbid conditions and higher levels of electronic health literacy are more likely to demonstrate effective self-management behaviors, resulting in better asthma control, fewer exacerbations, and improved long-term quality of life.
