Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • School Health Management
  • Educational Program Development

Background:

  • Nonmedical school personnel frequently manage student asthma.
  • The school secretary is identified as the most common asthma manager.
  • Existing asthma care protocols may not adequately address nonmedical staff needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an educational program for school personnel on asthma management.
  • To assess knowledge improvement in nonmedical staff compared to nurses.
  • To inform the development of effective school-based asthma care strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the "Asthma Management in the Schools" educational program.
  • Pre- and post-program questionnaire administration to assess knowledge.
