Emergency care and hospitalizations account for 36% of asthma-related medical expenses for children. National asthma guidelines emphasize the need for asthma self-management education at multiple points of care, including the hospital, to help prevent acute exacerbations. The integration of a bedside asthma education program into discharge planning at a busy urban children's hospital aimed to reduce repeat emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations by educating the community's highest-risk children and their families about asthma. A trained respiratory professional provided 45 minutes of individualized bedside education to families at the hospital and one follow-up support phone call within 3 weeks after discharge. Children receiving the intervention were matched to a control group of children not receiving the intervention by age and 2 markers of past utilization using data obtained from hospital records. Repeat ED utilization was analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards model controlling for sex, residence, race or ethnicity, and year. Compared to 698 matched controls, no significant improvement was observed in the 698 intervention participants or any subgroups followed for 12 months after the intervention.

ABSTRACT: The new understanding of the pathogenesis of asthma has led to an increasing perception of the disease as a chronic condition, rather than one consisting of acute exacerbations. Health professionals need to help patients to accept this new understanding, and this involves a consideration of how best to deliver care and how best to enhance compliance.Good communication is essential, and structured patient education has now been shown to be cost effective. All health professionals need to think how education may best be incorporated into their care. Such care will involve the development of a partnership between health professional and the patient and their loved ones, and the acquisition by patients of skills in self-management.Several unknowns remain regarding who benefits more from group education as opposed to individual education, and some details of guided self-management. However, in the face of clear evidence of the benefits of patient education, these areas for further study should not delay the adoption of a strong commitment to education by all of those who care for those with asthma.
