[Digital adaptation of a therapeutic education program in the context of Covid-19]

The context of containment due to the Covid-19 epidemic forced professionals to suspend their face-to-face therapeutic education programs. For young patients with asthma, the situation was made even more complex by anxiety-provoking communications (which turned out to be inaccurate) about the possible aggravating role of corticosteroids in the event of Covid-19, which led to untimely discontinuations and sometimes to a decrease in their therapeutic adherence, exposing them to an increased risk of poor control of their disease. Faced with the feeling of abandonment felt by some families in this singular context, a team at Trousseau Hospital in Paris decided to rethink and adapt its distance therapeutic education workshops.
