    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Pulmonology
    • Health Education
    • Behavioral Medicine

    Background:

    • Asthma management requires comprehensive patient and family education.
    • Existing programs may not fully address self-management skills and health locus of control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-hour family asthma program (FAP).
    • To assess improvements in asthma knowledge, health attitudes, and clinical outcomes.
    • To determine the program's impact on self-management behaviors.

    Main Methods:

    • A 12-hour family asthma program (FAP) was implemented.
    • Knowledge and health locus of control questionnaires were administered pre- and post-program.
    • Longitudinal data on clinical outcomes were collected for one year.

    Main Results:

    • Significant improvements in asthma knowledge for parents and children.
    • Positive shifts in health locus of control, indicating increased self-management responsibility.
    • Reduced unscheduled healthcare visits and school absences in children post-program.

    Conclusions:

    • The family asthma program (FAP) effectively enhances asthma knowledge and self-management.
    • The FAP complements medical care and prepares families for better asthma control.
    • Educational interventions are crucial for improving pediatric asthma outcomes.
