Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of asthma education on asthma knowledge, control and quality of life of school-aged children (7-11 years old) diagnosed with asthma and followed up in the outpatient clinic.
Detailed Description:
Asthma is among the most common chronic diseases in childhood. Besides being one of the most common diseases, it is a preventable and controllable disease.In a study analyzing asthma data of children aged 0-17 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the prevalence of asthma was 8.7% in 2001, this rate increased to 9.4% in 2010, and decreased to 8.3% in 2016. In the same study, the prevalence of asthma was found to be 9.2% in boys and 7.4% in girls.Asthma is also the leading cause of school absences in children ages 5 to 17, accounting for more than 14 million days of absence from school in 2013.These adverse effects of asthma can be minimized with appropriate education.Studies have found an increase in the quality of life of asthmatic students after asthma education, a decrease in asthma exacerbations, school absences, parental workday loss and medical expenses, and an increase in adherence to treatment, asthma knowledge and correct inhaler use.These findings suggest that asthma management interventions increase children's knowledge about their disease and their self-management skills.Based on this need, the aim of this study is to examine the effects of asthma education given to school-aged children (7-11 years old) diagnosed with asthma and followed up in the outpatient clinic on their asthma knowledge, control and quality of life.
