Beating Asthma is a community-based educational intervention designed to empower people with asthma by providing them with information about their pulmonary disease. The project consists of a series of three lectures delivered in a single 2-hour evening program by a pulmonologist, a health educator, and a licensed clinical psychologist. Surveys were distributed to participants before and after the program to assess general knowledge of asthma, the disease's pathophysiology, and asthma-management skills. Seventy-eight (77%) of the 101 families participating in the event completed both questionnaires. Regression model analysis of survey results showed that participants with the lowest scores before intervention achieved the greatest gains after intervention (P<.001). Analysis of the three topic areas revealed that only the subscore for disease management differed significantly from zero (P<.001). The authors assess the quality and usefulness of the survey instrument and the lecture content for future use.
战胜哮喘是一项基于社区的教育干预措施,旨在通过向哮喘患者提供有关其肺部疾病的信息,增强他们的能力。该项目包括由一位肺科医生、一位健康教育工作者和一位持牌临床心理学家在一个两小时的晚间项目中进行的一系列三场讲座。在项目前后向参与者发放调查问卷,以评估他们对哮喘的一般知识、疾病的病理生理学以及哮喘管理技能。参加此次活动的101个家庭中的78个(77%)完成了两份问卷。对调查结果的回归模型分析表明,干预前得分最低的参与者在干预后取得了最大的进步(P<.001)。对三个主题领域的分析显示,只有疾病管理子得分与零有显著差异(P<.001)。作者评估了该调查问卷工具和讲座内容在未来使用中的质量和实用性。
