Abstract
This paper proposes a study in which coping strategies of children diagnosed with asthma
would be compared against the strategies employed by parents of children with asthma.
Despite a wealth of knowledge available concerning the coping strategies used towards
asthma by children with the disease and their parents, however, there is no literature
directly comparing the two. The study is based around loose narrative interviews
conducted in two groups, parental participants and child participants. It is believed that
should the study be conducted, parents would typically exhibit more goal-oriented
strategies than children, and children would more frequently utilize avoidant and denial-based
strategies.
