The present correlational research was aimed at: exploring asthmatic children’s knowledge of their disease, their attitude towards it, and their self-management behavior. Convenient sampling was used to recruit subjects. One hundred and sixty eight asthmatic children from 7 to 12 years old were recruited from 14 elementary schools in the Pintung area, Taiwan. The results showed: (1) a moderate-leveled standardized score of 57.26 for knowledge of the disease; a positive-leveled standardized score of 86.27 for attitude toward the disease; a moderate high-leveled standardized score of 69.34 for self-management behaviors; (2) no significant relationship between demographic information and self-management behavior; (3) a significant correlation between asthmatic knowledge and self- management behavior; (4) a significant correlation between attitude towards asthma and self-management behavior; and (5) knowledge of the disease and attitude towards the disease as important predictors of self-management behavior, together accounting for 23.9% of the total variance. Results of the present study could serve as a basis for future studies.
