OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness of asthma education delivered by student pharmacists and to assess the impact of child and caregiver baseline asthma knowledge on asthma control in children.
DESIGN
Student pharmacists developed and implemented asthma self-management education interventions for children and their caregivers and performed asthma screenings for children at a series of asthma camps.
ASSESSMENT
Eighty-seven children, ages 5-17 years, and their caregivers were enrolled in this study. A previously validated asthma questionnaire was modified to assess asthma knowledge among children and adults. Asthma knowledge increased significantly in children following participation in the education intervention (p<0.001). The education intervention, however, did not increase caregiver knowledge of asthma. A significant association was observed between caregiver baseline asthma knowledge and better asthma control in their children (p=0.019).
CONCLUSION
The results of this study demonstrate that student pharmacist-delivered asthma education can positively impact asthma knowledge in children, and that caregivers' knowledge of asthma is strongly correlated with better asthma control in their children.
目的
评估学生药剂师提供的哮喘教育的有效性，并评估儿童及其照顾者的哮喘知识基线对儿童哮喘控制的影响。
设计
学生药剂师为儿童及其照顾者制定并实施哮喘自我管理教育干预措施，并在一系列哮喘营地为儿童进行哮喘筛查。
评估
87名5至17岁的儿童及其照顾者参与了本研究。对一份先前经过验证的哮喘问卷进行了修改，以评估儿童和成人的哮喘知识。参与教育干预后，儿童的哮喘知识显著增加（p<0.001）。然而，教育干预并未增加照顾者对哮喘的了解。观察到照顾者的哮喘知识基线与他们孩子更好的哮喘控制之间存在显著关联（p=0.019）。
结论
本研究结果表明，学生药剂师提供的哮喘教育可对儿童的哮喘知识产生积极影响，并且照顾者对哮喘的了解与他们孩子更好的哮喘控制密切相关。
