Nurse-delivered outpatient asthma education for children and caregivers: A pilot study to promote shared asthma management
Journal of Asthma Nov 22, 2019
Frey SM, et al. - In this pilot investigation of nurse-delivered asthma education in a busy outpatient clinic, researchers investigated whether nurse-delivered asthma education for caregiver/child dyads (n = 22) is feasible in this setting and whether the intervention is preliminary effective. A convenience sample of children (7–16 years) suffering from uncontrolled persistent asthma who had a prescription for an inhaled controller medication and public health insurance was enrolled. Following provider visits, dyads were educated by nurses using picture-based materials, teach-back methods, and colored labels applied to asthma medications. At 1-month follow-up, they once again performed the intervention. At each visit, a high rate of component delivery was suggested by nursing reports; the initial and 1-month visits needed 25 and 15 min, respectively. Child responsibility, child/caregiver self-efficacy, caregiver quality of life, and child symptoms observed at each follow-up were significantly increased. In a busy pediatric practice, the feasibility of this intervention of patient-centered asthma education by nurses was revealed, which could be implemented with high fidelity in such a setting. Potential advantage for both children and caregivers was suggested by preliminary data.
