Schools are an important site for delivery of asthma education programs. Computer-based educational programs are a critical component of asthma education programs and may be a particularly important education method in busy school environments.
The objective of this brief report is to review and critique computer-based education efforts in schools.
The results of our literature review indicated that school-based computer education efforts are related to improved knowledge about asthma and its management. In some studies, improvements in clinical outcomes also occur. Data collection programs need to be built into games that improve knowledge. Many projects do not appear to last for periods greater than 1 year and little information is available about cultural relevance of these programs.
Educational games and other programs are effective methods of delivering knowledge about asthma management and control. Research about the long-term effects of this increased knowledge, in regard to behavior change, is needed. Additionally, developing sustainable projects, which are culturally relevant, is a goal for future research.
学校是开展哮喘教育项目的重要场所。基于计算机的教育项目是哮喘教育项目的关键组成部分，在繁忙的学校环境中可能是一种特别重要的教育方法。
本简要报告的目的是回顾和评价学校中基于计算机的教育工作。
我们的文献综述结果表明，基于学校的计算机教育工作与哮喘及其管理知识的改善有关。在一些研究中，临床结果也有所改善。数据收集程序需要纳入能增进知识的游戏中。许多项目似乎持续时间不超过1年，关于这些项目的文化相关性的信息很少。
教育游戏和其他项目是传授哮喘管理和控制知识的有效方法。需要研究这种知识增加对行为改变的长期影响。此外，开发具有文化相关性的可持续项目是未来研究的一个目标。
