“…One group of authors ( 28 ) evaluated the impact of a five-day educational camp program for children with asthma, reporting a positive impact on knowledge and improvement in asthma management skills. Another group of authors ( 10 ) evaluated the effects of a short-term individualized asthma education program on treatment adherence, inhalation techniques, and disease control, finding improvement in the use of medications for asthma control and a decrease in the number of emergency room visits.…”

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of an outpatient education program in patients with uncontrolled asthma. METHODS: This was an uncontrolled study evaluating an educational intervention and involving patients with uncontrolled asthma ≥ 14 years of age. The participants completed a questionnaire designed to assess the level of asthma control, the inhalation technique, and quality of life. All of the patients underwent pulmonary function testing, after which they participated in an education program consisting of one 45-min face-to-face session, followed by phone interviews at two, four, and eight weeks. The participants were reevaluated after three months. RESULTS: Sixty-three patients completed the study. There was a significant improvement in the level of asthma control (p < 0.001). Of the 63 patients, 28 (44.4%) and 6 (9.5%) were classified as having partially controlled asthma and controlled asthma, respectively. The mean FEV1 was 63.0 ± 20.0% and 68.5 ± 21.2% of the predicted value prior to and after the educational intervention, respectively (p = 0.002), and all of the quality of life scores improved (p < 0.05 for all). The same was true for the proportion of patients prior to and after the educational intervention using the proper inhalation technique when using metered dose inhalers (15.4% vs. 46.2%; p = 0.02) and dry powder inhalers (21.3% vs. 76.6%; p < 0.001). The logistic regression analysis revealed that an incorrect inhalation technique identified during the first evaluation was independently associated with a favorable response to the educational intervention. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that an outpatient education program for asthma patients improves the level of asthma control, lung function parameters, and quality of life. An incorrect inhalation technique identified during the first evaluation was predictive of a favorable response to the educational intervention.

Purpose: This paper describes the acceptability and generalizability of an evidenced-based peerled asthma self-management program. Design and Methods: Adolescents with persistent asthma (n=259, ages 12-17 years) from three urban cities participated in a one day camp led by either trained peer leaders (n= 35, ages 16-20 years; intervention group) or healthcare professionals (control group). Participants completed a camp evaluation form, and the peer leader quality survey. Results: Overall program evaluation showed high acceptability with average score of 4.5 (±.87) out of 5 and no treatment group differences were found. Campers highly rated peer leaders' qualification, particularly trustworthiness (98%), knowledge (97%), and sense of humor (95%). Participants from low income families (annual income < $30,000) reported higher satisfaction with their camp experience being enjoyable compared to their counterparts from higher income families (X 2 =4.23, p ≤ .04). Conclusions: This study supports the acceptability and generalizability of a peer-led asthma self-management program across different urban community locations, seasons and venues.
