“…The SNEI intervention was delivered during six home visits over a 6‐month period. The intervention was based on the WEE Wheezers Program (Wilson et al, 1996), the A+ Asthma Club Program (Schneider et al, 1997), teaching pediatric symptom identification in children with asthma (Yoos & McMullen, 1999), and recommendations for nebulizer therapy (Barry & O’Callaghan, 1997; Canny & Levison, 1988). Initially, parents were taught accurate asthma symptom identification including review of early (cough) and late (intercostal retractions, inability to talk) symptoms.…”

Optimal home self-management in young children with asthma includes accurate symptom identification followed by timely and appropriate treatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate a home-based asthma educational intervention targeting symptom identification for parents of children with asthma. Two hundred twenty-one children with asthma were enrolled into an ongoing home-based clinical trial and randomized into either a standard asthma education (SAE) or a symptom/nebulizer education intervention (SNEI). Data included home visit records and parent's self-report on questionnaires. Symptom identification and self-management skills significantly improved from preintervention to postintervention for parents in both groups with the exception of checking medications for expiration dates and the frequency of cleaning nebulizer device and equipment. However, significantly more parents of children in the SNEI group reported treating cough symptoms as compared with the SAE group (p = 0.05). Of concern is that only 38% of all parents reported having an asthma action plan in the home. A targeted home-based asthma education intervention can be effective for improving symptom identification and appropriate use of medications in children with asthma. Home asthma educational programs should address accurate symptom identification and a demonstration of asthma medication delivery devices.

“…Developmental milestones, such as increased sense of belonging, excitement about learning new information, and mastering new skills are key to effective asthma education. Schneider et al (1997) developed the A+ Asthma Club, an education program for children with asthma in four inner-city elementary schools. The school approach was part of a larger project that included a lay home visitor program targeting parents of children with asthma.…”

“…The parents preferred follow-up visits at the school rather than at their home. Schneider et al (1997) and Ladebauche (1997) both report the school setting as a good place to present teaching on asthma. Ladebauche stresses the importance of communication with parents and school personnel.…”
