This study was conducted to test the efficacy of AIR WISE, an individually administered asthma self-management program. Subjects were paired and randomly assigned to either an experimental group (N = 7) or a control group (N = 7). The frequency of experimental group emergency visits, analyzed over a 12-month posttreatment period, was substantially less than those of the control group, supporting the hypothesis that AIR WISE is effective in high-utilizer children through improved self-management.
本研究旨在测试AIR WISE(一种针对个体的哮喘自我管理项目)的疗效。研究对象被配对并随机分为实验组(N = 7)或对照组(N = 7)。在治疗后的12个月期间对实验组的急诊就诊频率进行分析,结果显示其显著低于对照组,这支持了以下假设:通过改善自我管理,AIR WISE对高就医率儿童有效。
