To evaluate the impact of parental education on the success of Asthma Educational Intervention (AEI).
AEI took place after the children's hospitalisation. Parental asthma knowledge was assessed at three time points: before AEI, immediately after, and 12 months later. The Intervention (I) group of parents (N=231) received complete AEI. The Control (C) group of parents (N=71) received instructions for proper use of asthma medications and the handbook.
Asthma knowledge in I group increased immediately after the AEI (p<0.01), and had not changed (p>0.05) 12 months later. There were four subgroups in group I divided based on education level: elementary school, high school, college, and university degrees. Taking into account the parental education level, there were no differences in the baseline and final knowledge of asthma between subgroups (p>0.05). The number of asthma exacerbations decreased after AEI (5.96:2.50, p<0.01), regardless of the parental degree. Knowledge of asthma in group C did not improve during the study (p=0.17). Final asthma knowledge was higher in group I compared to group C (p<0.01).
The parental education level did not influence the level of asthma knowledge after the AEI. The motivation and the type of asthma education had the greatest input on the final results.
All parents should be educated about asthma regardless of their general education.
评估家长教育对哮喘教育干预（AEI）成效的影响。
AEI在儿童住院后进行。在三个时间点评估家长的哮喘知识：AEI前、刚结束后以及12个月后。干预（I）组家长（N = 231）接受完整的AEI。对照组（C）家长（N = 71）接受哮喘药物正确使用说明及手册。
I组的哮喘知识在AEI刚结束后增加（p < 0.01），12个月后未改变（p > 0.05）。I组根据教育水平分为四个亚组：小学、高中、大专和大学学历。考虑家长教育水平后，各亚组哮喘的基线和最终知识无差异（p > 0.05）。无论家长学历如何，AEI后哮喘发作次数减少（5.96:2.50，p < 0.01）。C组在研究期间哮喘知识未改善（p = 0.17）。I组的最终哮喘知识高于C组（p < 0.01）。
家长教育水平不影响AEI后的哮喘知识水平。哮喘教育的动机和类型对最终结果影响最大。
无论总体教育程度如何，都应对所有家长进行哮喘知识教育。
