Volerman A, et al. - In this mixed-methods observational study including child-parent dyads and nurses from four Chicago schools, researchers investigated the factors related to inhaler self-carry among children. They also focused on the obstacles and facilitators to self-carry. A total of 65 children were included. Among those, having quick-relief medication at school, mainly inhalers, and self-carry was reported by 45 (69.2%) and by 35 (53.8%), respectively. Controller medication use and parent confidence in child’s self-carry skills were reported in relation to inhaler self-carry. Child’s asthma knowledge, inhaler features, and a requirement for easy inhaler access were identified as various facilitators to self-carry, by children and parents. Child’s limited understanding of asthma and inhalers, the perception that inhaler is not required, and limited inhaler access were identified as barriers. In order to improve inhaler self-carry at school, children should be educated regarding asthma and inhaler use, supportive environments should be created for self-carry among peers and teachers, and consistent implementation and communication regarding asthma policy among schools and families should be encouraged.
