Abstract

Long-term adherence to self-monitoring of peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) is essential for early detection of declining lung function in individuals with asthma. Psychosocial and cognitive factors can influence adherence to PEFR self-monitoring behaviors. The specific aims of this prospective, repeated measures study were to: (1) determine the effects of asthma self-efficacy, perceived satisfaction with social support and asthma knowledge on adherence to PEFR self-monitoring behavior; and (2) examine whether adherence to PEFR self-monitoring mediates the effects of psychosocial/cognitive factors on lung function and asthma symptoms in adults with asthma. Sixty-eight participants completed standardized questionnaires three times at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months and kept the records of PEFR self-monitoring behaviors twice a day. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regressions. Adherence rates to PEFR self-monitoring were 93.5% and 74.9% at 1 and 3 month, representing those who remained in the study (n=39). Other participants withdrew from the study. Both at 1 and 3 month, psychosocial/cognitive factors as a whole did not account for a significant variance in adherence to PEFR self-monitoring. Univariate analyses, however,...Continue Reading
