Abstract: Objective To explore influencing factors of family and evaluate the efficacy of health education management on 6-14-year-old children with bronchial asthma in Nanping.Methods All the children with bronchial asthma who were treated at a hospital in Nanping City, Fujian Province from January to December 2017 were selected as the case group. Children who were in the same hospital for health checkup without bronchial asthma at the same time were randomly selected as the control group. Questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate effects of family factors on bronchial asthma in the two groups. The management of health education for the children in the case group was carried out. The self-administration scale score, the asthma control test （ACT） score and the changes of lung function indexes of the children in the case group were compared before and after the 6-month health education management.Results The study included 1 000 children with bronchial asthma （case group） and 500 healthy non-asthmatic children （control group）. There were 654 boys and 346 girls in the case group, aged 6-14 years, with an average age of （8.44 ± 1.43） years. The course of disease ranged from 6 months to 7 years, with average of （5.41 ± 1.37） years. There were 314 boys and 186 girls in the control group, aged 6-14 years, with an average age of （5.31 ± 1.06） years. There was no significant difference in gender and age between the two groups （P>0.05）. Children with passive smoking （OR=16.494）, non-respiratory allergies （OR=10.425）, family history of asthma （OR=3.548）, and raising furry pets at home （OR=1.361） had a higher risk of bronchial asthma. After 6 months of health education management, the children's self-management scale and total scores, ACT, FEV₁, and PEF were higher than those before the intervention （P<0.01 for all）.Conclusion Family history of asthma, non-respiratory allergies, raising pets at home, and passive smoking are risk factors for bronchial asthma in children. Management of health education can significantly improve the self-management ability of children and improve clinical symptoms.
