The purpose of this study is to explore the life experience of asthma patients and the process that patients used to cope with their disease. Descriptive qualitative research was used, and in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 adult asthma patients in the asthma-specific clinic of a medical center in Mid-Taiwan. The transcripts were analyzed using content analysis method. Three themes relevant to disease-coping process were categorized as: the shaping of self-consciousness in Asthma-resulting from experiences of recurrent attacks, the development of self-care behaviors-coming from the individual awareness of causes and attribution of disease, and the personal index of severity of illness-coming from personal expectation of life quality. Results from the study may help nurses formulate their interventions in patients' coping processes. These results can not only improve patients' self-control and life satisfaction, but also help to develop a diverse consultation service and to build a professional role for asthma counseling.
