Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • National guidelines emphasize patient education for asthma management.
  • The prevalence of formal asthma patient education programs in clinics is unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the availability of asthma patient education programs in teaching hospitals.
  • To identify barriers to program implementation and assess the feasibility of computer-based education.

Main Methods:

  • Mail questionnaires were sent to 163 US training programs in pulmonary and critical care medicine.
  • A 72% response rate was achieved, with 117 programs responding.
  • Survey questions covered program availability, reasons for absence, and computer resource access.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • 64% of responding programs have a formal asthma patient education program, primarily in university settings.
  • Lack of financial compensation and time constraints were cited as primary barriers by programs without education.
  • 96% of programs with education found it effective; 85% would use computer-based programs if available.

Conclusions:

  • Most training directors value asthma patient education, but cost and time are significant barriers.
  • Computer-based asthma education is feasible and acceptable, potentially overcoming implementation challenges.
  • Further development and integration of digital educational tools are recommended for asthma self-management.
