Chronic disease management programmes for adults with asthma

Impact of a population‐based asthma management program in France (Sophia Asthme): A matched controlled before‐and‐after quasi‐experimental study using the French health insurance database (SNDS)

“…According to the literature, even in countries that have been proactive about recommending asthma self‐management, three quarters of asthmatic patients are not provided with written action plans . Finally, our findings are consistent with the literature indicating overall small effects and no effect on ER visits …”

A nurse‐led Asthma Care Team transitioning patients from hospital to home improves asthma control: A pilot study exploring an alternative model of care

“…Studies have shown that regular use of a WAP can improve asthma control and reduce unscheduled asthma-related general practitioner visits, emergency room visits and hospitalisation. 14,15,17 Unfortunately, the uptake of and adherence to a WAP is poor, 15 and this was confirmed in our study. Only 4/29 (13%) in the ACTT group and 2/30 (6.6%) of patients in the usual care group were using an action plan (either written or verbal) as part of their asthma management at the time of hospital admission.…”

“…Asthma action plans assist patients in identifying and responding appropriately to worsening asthma, with specific instructions on medication use and escalation of care. Studies have shown that regular use of a WAP can improve asthma control and reduce unscheduled asthma‐related general practitioner visits, emergency room visits and hospitalisation 14,15,17 .

A School Nurse–Led Asthma Intervention for School-Age Children: A Randomized Control Trial to Improve Self-Management

“…Children living with asthma should be educated to help them acquire skills for managing their asthma in daily life leading to fewer exacerbations and interruptions in activities and better school attendance. The recent reviews support implementing an asthma selfmanagement education program for school-age children, their parents, and school personnel Kew et al, 2017;McCallum et al, 2017;Peytremann-Bridevaux et al, 2015). This study demonstrated that a school nurseled asthma intervention was a supportive program that increased awareness of asthma management techniques and self-care abilities.…”
