“…Children prefer technology-based education, 20,21 and video-based education can improve children's medication-taking technique. [22][23][24] Future work should explore child and adolescent preferences for using mobile technologies to interact with pharmacists.…”

“…Research shows that using videos to teach inhaler technique to children with asthma can improve their inhaler technique, [29,30] and thus the incorporation of these and other informative asthma videos may increase adolescent self-efficacy in their ability to manage their asthma and lead to better health outcomes. Furthermore, adolescents in our study suggested videos showing a medical professional or age-appropriate material, as mentioned by the addition of "kiddie show" for adolescents with asthma.…”

Background: Approximately 10% of adolescents in the United States have asthma. Adolescents widely use applications (apps) on mobile phones and tablet technology for social networking and gaming purposes. Given the increase in recreational app use among adolescents, leveraging apps to support adolescent asthma disease management seems warranted. However, little empirical research has influenced asthma app development; adolescent users are seldom involved in the app design process, including identifying components that meet their needs.Objective: The aim of this mixed-methods study was to assess adolescent preferences and design recommendations for an asthma self-management app.Methods: Twenty adolescents with persistent asthma (aged 12-16) provided feedback on two asthma self-management apps during in person semi-structured interviews following their regularly scheduled asthma clinic visit and via telephone 1-week later. Interviews were audiorecorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using SPSS v24 and coded thematically using MAXQDA 11.Results: Regarding aesthetics, app layout and perceived visual simplicity were important to facilitate initial app use. Adolescents were more likely to continually engage with apps that were deemed useful and met their informational needs. Adolescents also desired app features that fit within their existing paradigm/schema and included familiar components (e.g. medication alerts that appear and sound like Facetime notifications and games modeled after Quiz Up and Minecraft) as well as the ability to customize app components. They also suggested that apps include other features such as an air quality tracker and voice command. Conclusions:Involving adolescents in the early stages of app development is likely to result in an asthma app that meets their self-management needs and design preferences. This may lead to increased user engagement and ultimately the adoption and maintenance of positive asthma selfmanagement behaviors.

“…For example, a recent study found that school nurses were able to use brief videos to significantly improve children’s inhaler technique (Carpenter et al, 2016). In the current study, 85% of nurses were willing to show educational videos to their students with asthma, and there were no differences in willingness to show videos for urban and rural nurses.…”

Purpose Few studies have examined school nurses preferences’ for asthma training. Our purpose was to: 1) assess school nurses’ perceived asthma training needs, 2) describe nurses’ access to asthma educational resources, and 3) identify urban-rural differences in training needs and access to resources in southern states. Design and Methods A convenience sample of school nurses (n = 162) from seven counties (two urban and five rural) in North Carolina and South Carolina completed an online, anonymous survey. Chi-square tests were used to examine urban-rural differences. Results Although most nurses (64%) had received asthma training within the last five years, urban nurses were more likely to have had asthma training than rural nurses (χ2 = 10.84, p = 0.001). A majority of nurses (87%) indicated they would like to receive additional asthma training. Approximately half (45%) of nurses reported access to age-appropriate asthma education materials, but only 16% reported that their schools implemented asthma education programs. Urban nurses were more likely than rural nurses to have access to asthma education programs (χ2 = 4.10, p = 0.04) and age-appropriate asthma education materials (χ2 = 8.86, p = 0.003). Conclusions Few schools are implementing asthma education programs. Rural nurses may be disadvantaged in terms of receiving asthma training and having access to asthma education programs and materials. Practice Implications Schools are an ideal setting for delivering age-appropriate asthma education. By providing school nurses with access to age-appropriate asthma education resources and additional asthma training, we can help them overcome several of the barriers that impede their ability to deliver asthma care to their students.
