This article is part of a larger study of young students with asthma. It focuses on the observations of school nurses and comments from parents and students pertinent to school nursing practice. The study shed light on the educational needs of 9- to 11-year-old students with asthma and identified some areas where the school nurse could easily enhance the health management of these students. Responses from students and parents about asthma provided insight into the daily challenges faced by students with asthma. Students with asthma may or may not fully understand the seriousness of their chronic condition or how to recognize and treat symptoms. The purpose of this pilot study was to identify strategies school nurses might use to determine the knowledge level of students and to determine the effects of asthma education programs. School nurses who participated in the study were provided with a comprehensive package containing current asthma information and an education program to update knowledge and skills. These school nurses also received Open Airways for Schools, an American Lung Association education program for students in grades three to five. The study was a two-group exploratory, quasi-experimental design. Questionnaires were prepared for students, school nurses, and parents to collect information on knowledge and perceptions about asthma. Students who participated in the educational program were reported by their school nurses to have increased knowledge and management skills related to their disease.
本文是一项针对患有哮喘的年轻学生的大型研究的一部分。它聚焦于学校护士的观察结果以及家长和学生与学校护理实践相关的评论。该研究揭示了9至11岁哮喘学生的教育需求，并确定了学校护士可以轻松加强这些学生健康管理的一些领域。学生和家长对哮喘的回答提供了对哮喘学生日常面临挑战的洞察。患有哮喘的学生可能完全理解或不完全理解其慢性病的严重性，也可能不知道如何识别和治疗症状。这项初步研究的目的是确定学校护士可能用于确定学生知识水平以及确定哮喘教育项目效果的策略。参与该研究的学校护士收到了一个综合资料包，其中包含当前的哮喘信息以及一个用于更新知识和技能的教育项目。这些学校护士还收到了《学校开放气道》，这是美国肺脏协会为三至五年级学生开展的一个教育项目。该研究采用两组探索性准实验设计。为学生、学校护士和家长准备了问卷，以收集有关哮喘知识和认知的信息。参与教育项目的学生，据其学校护士报告，与疾病相关的知识和管理技能有所提高。
