This descriptive research aimed to examine health behaviors and risk factors management of the non-pharmacological treatment among asthmatic patients. The participants comprised 319 asthma patients, who were ≥ 18 years of age. They had come to be examined at the asthma clinic or outpatient department of 9 secondary care, 2 tertiary care and 1 super tertiary care in Health Region 4 in Thailand. The data were collected from August 2020 to October 2021. The research instruments were composed of 1) a demographic data form; 2) risk factors management and behavior affecting asthma control assessment and 3) the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) form. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation.
The result revealed that health behaviors and risk factors management of the non-pharmacological treatment among asthmatic patients were at moderate levels (mean=146.20, SD=14.82). For each dimension, the environmental dimension means scores were at a high level (mean=46.63, SD=6.94). The emotional anxiety dimension means scores were at a low level (mean=31.14, SD=6.23). The eating dimension was at a moderate level (mean=14.62, SD=2.54). The exercise dimension was at a moderate level (mean=19.08, SD=7.17).
The result of this study can be used as basic information for developing an asthma care program that encourages asthmatic patients to manage risk factors and behavior modification in all 4 dimensions leads to success in asthma control.
