[Good esteem among 7-9-year-olds with asthma. The test "I consider myself! shows small differences in comparison with healthy children].
Self esteem as judged by interviewing 47 children between 7 and 9 years of age with asthma treated at a hospital clinic was no different from that of 383 healthy children of the same age. While healthy girls rated their self worth higher than boys, there was no sex difference in self esteem among the children with asthma. Factors including the cohabitation of parents, peak flow rate and presence of exercise-induced asthma was of importance for the self esteem rate among the children with asthma.
