“…To discuss AQOL and DIS: this study finds that after nursing instruction, the experimental group demonstrates an increased level of satisfaction towards AQOL, which is consistent with the findings of Gebert et al (1998) & van Veldhoven et al (2001. Among AQOL questions, the progress on "playing outdoors on a cold day" and " running around during playtime" is most noticeable, with the scores increasing from 60% to 70% and 80% respectively.…”

The issue of whether nursing instruction efforts could improve asthma knowledge and quality of life among schoolchildren was investigated using a quasi-experimental design. The key instruments were the Asthmatic Knowledge Questionnaire and the Childhood Asthma Questionnaire-Form B. Asthmatic knowledge increased among children who received instruction from nurses (Mean pre/post = 22.20/31.87, p < .05). These children also experienced significant improvements in their active quality of life (Mean pre/post = 27.53/30.20, p < .05), and decreased distress (Mean pre/post = 24.04/10.86, p < .05) and asthma severity (Mean pre/post = 13.27/8.3, p < .05). This study finds nursing instruction helpful in improving asthma knowledge. However, in terms of quality of life, elevated knowledge has a marked (negative) correlation only with levels of distress and severity. It shows no detectable relationship with active or passive life quality. Therefore, though nursing instruction can improve schoolchildren's knowledge about asthma, the improvement in knowledge only relates to reducing distress and severity and thus improving quality of life. This result can provide guidance for nursing personnel in developing nursing instruction to improve active quality of life in child patients.

“…Considering established training programs for other diseases in childhood, such as asthma [17], Staab et al performed a large (n=823) German multicenter randomized controlled trial on the effect of a structured educational program in children and adolescents with AD (aged 0-18 years) [18]. The training concept was more comprehensive, since the training sessions were performed once weekly for 2 hours over a period of 6 weeks.…”

Opinion statementPatient education in atopic dermatitis (AD) represents an essential therapeutic tool, which should be offered in addition to routine care, since previous studies have revealed that AD outpatients are often insufficiently treated and show severe limitations of quality of life. Considering the multifactorial pathogenesis of this chronic skin disease, the success of therapeutic patient education seems to depend on the involvement of a multidisciplinary team of professionals. The training program should include aspects on dermatology and allergy, but also on diet and nursing, as well as on disease-specific psychological issues. Synergistic beneficial effects upon interaction between affected patients or parents should be considered by performing the training in small groups. The overall aim of therapeutic patient education in AD should be an improvement of selfmanagement strategies to finally achieve a decrease in disease severity and an increase in quality of life. For children (and their parents) and adolescents with AD, successful programs have already been developed. However, in many countries, there is still a need for official recommendations in order to regulate reimbursement for the costs of such programs. Since the preliminary results from pilot studies in adults have been promising, further large controlled trials on patient education in this age group are needed to finally improve outpatient care also in adulthood AD.

“…Estimates show that it affects approximately 17.5 million adults [17] and accounts for 1.6 million visits to the emergency department each year [18]. Despite widely available and highly effective treatment strategies [19], asthma morbidity continues to be a very common and serious public health problem; it is a leading cause of missed work and lost work productivity [20] and can place limitations on quality of life [21]. The reasons for continued high rates of asthma morbidity, despite the availability of efficacious treatments, are not entirely clear.…”

The prevalence of asthma has risen dramatically, especially among youth, in recent years, and asthma is now among the most common chronic conditions. Recent studies suggest a relationship between asthma and suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, and death by suicide. This paper reviews the literature, summarizes the weight of evidence, and discusses the clinical implications and future directions for research.
