Summary

Final year medical students showed poor asthma knowledge, but an interactive workshop significantly improved their understanding and confidence in asthma management. This education is key for better asthma care.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Pulmonology
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • Asthma management plans and education are crucial for reducing morbidity.
  • Junior doctors play a key role in asthma care, yet medical school training is often unevaluated.
  • This study assessed asthma knowledge and confidence among final-year medical students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an interactive asthma education workshop.
  • To assess final-year medical students' knowledge and confidence in asthma management.
  • To identify areas for improvement in asthma education for medical students.

Main Methods:

  • A two-hour interactive workshop on acute and stable asthma management, including practical device use.
  • Theoretical knowledge assessed via a 20-item questionnaire pre-workshop and at two weeks.

  • Practical knowledge assessed through confidence scores on a five-point scale regarding asthma device use.

    • Main Results:

    • Students initially demonstrated poor knowledge in areas like asthma mortality predictors and device use.
    • Mean knowledge scores significantly increased from 64.4% to 74.2% at two weeks post-workshop (p<0.05).
    • Confidence in practical asthma management significantly improved (p<0.01) and remained elevated at two weeks.

    Conclusions:

    • Medical students possess inadequate knowledge in critical aspects of asthma care.
    • The interactive workshop effectively enhanced short-term knowledge and confidence in asthma management.
    • This educational intervention holds potential for optimizing asthma guideline implementation and junior doctor training.
