A self-management education program was designed for staff nurses to offer children while they received medical care for asthma in the hospital. The program uses videotapes, written activity books and nurse discussion with the patient. Evaluation was conducted to assess program feasibility and impact. Pre- and post-tests of 40 children age 6-12 years revealed that the children had statistically significant increases in knowledge of and expected response to early warning signs of acute asthma, and in their sense of personal control (Health Locus of Control). Parents reported an increased use of asthma self-management techniques for acute episodes of asthma. Medical record review for a 15 month pre- and post-period indicated reductions in emergency room use. Inpatient hospital based education offers a critical opportunity to introduce asthma management skills, especially to children not reached by more traditional programs.
为在医院接受哮喘治疗的儿童提供护理的在职护士设计了一个自我管理教育项目。该项目使用录像带、书面活动手册以及护士与患者的讨论。进行了评估以评估项目的可行性和影响。对40名6至12岁儿童进行的前后测试表明，儿童在急性哮喘预警信号的知识和预期反应以及个人控制感（健康控制点）方面有统计学上的显著增加。家长报告说，在哮喘急性发作时更多地使用了哮喘自我管理技巧。对15个月前后期间的病历审查表明急诊室就诊次数有所减少。基于住院医院的教育为引入哮喘管理技能提供了一个关键机会，特别是对于那些未被更传统项目覆盖的儿童。
