The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a computerized limited asthma education program, designed to suit young people. The study was conducted with 97 young adults (18-25 years) with asthma, 48 were randomized to the intervention group and 49 to the control group, and they were followed for 12 months. The intervention group completed an interactive computer program of 30-min duration providing information about asthma, mechanisms, trigger factors, allergies and medication use, which was followed by a 30-min discussion with a specialized asthma nurse. The control group followed the routine schedule for asthma outpatients. The outcomes of the study were number of hospital admissions, emergency visits, asthma symptoms, knowledge about asthma, lung function and quality of life. No effect was found regarding admission to hospital, emergency visits, prevalence of respiratory symptoms, knowledge of asthma or quality of life. However, forced exhaled volume in 1s (FEV(1)) increased significantly, mainly among the atopic subjects. In conclusion, an intervention with a limited asthma education program did not show an effect on asthma symptoms, asthma knowledge or quality of life parameters.
该研究的目的是评估一项专为年轻人设计的电脑化有限哮喘教育项目的有效性。该研究对97名患有哮喘的年轻人（18至25岁）进行，其中48人被随机分配到干预组，49人被分配到对照组，并对他们进行了12个月的跟踪。干预组完成了一个时长30分钟的交互式电脑程序，该程序提供有关哮喘、发病机制、触发因素、过敏和药物使用的信息，随后与一名专业哮喘护士进行了30分钟的讨论。对照组遵循哮喘门诊患者的常规安排。该研究的结果包括住院次数、急诊就诊次数、哮喘症状、对哮喘的了解、肺功能和生活质量。在住院、急诊就诊、呼吸道症状患病率、哮喘知识或生活质量方面未发现有影响。然而，一秒用力呼气量（FEV(1)）显著增加，主要是在特应性受试者中。总之，有限哮喘教育项目干预对哮喘症状、哮喘知识或生活质量参数没有影响。
