Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Participants Outcome Assessors
Children will be randomly assigned to the training and control groups via a computer program.This process was carried out by a person other than the researchers.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Education Group

Pre-test forms were applied to the children in the training group face to face by the researchers in the outpatient clinic. Children assigned to the training group received asthma education in a single session, 3 modules/each module lasting at least 15 minutes. Post-test forms were administered immediately after the training.The 2nd and 3rd follow-up tests will be administered online via Google Form in the 1st and 3rd months after the training is completed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Asthma education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

There are very few studies examining the asthma knowledge level, quality of life and asthma control of children in Turkey.

Control group

Pre-test forms will be applied to the control group face-to-face by researchers in the outpatient clinic.In the control group, follow-up tests (three weeks, 1 month and 3 months after the pre-tests) will be administered online via Google Form.
