Abstract

Asthma is a chronic disturbance of the lungs with inflammation and narrowing of the air pipes.An asthmatic attack could be triggered mainly by physical as well as psychological aspects. Thepsychological aspect is much affected by the patients’ self-efficacy. A cognitive distortion couldbe a contribution for a low self-efficacy. This qualitative descriptive study with a positivisticapproach aimed at enhancing self-efficacy by lowering the cognitive distortion through cognitivetherapy. The informants of this study are two early adult patients with early onset asthma duringchildhood and categorized as non-allergic asthma. The mapping the psychological profile of theinformants using EPPS, and TAT. The self-efficacy mapping used a mixed method design throughthe Stanford Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale and an interview was conducted to delve intothe patient’s self-efficacy shaping source and aspects. The psychological unique profile seems tocontribute to the effectiveness difference of the cognitive therapy in enhancing self-efficacy.
