Despite its negative health impact, a local survey has shown that children with asthma as well as their parents have a lack of understanding for asthma management (Wong, Wong, Chung & Lau, 2001). However, to help asthmatic children to better cope with their condition, it is important for health care professional such as nurses to enhance their knowledge in asthma management. Recent empirical research has shown that education promoting knowledge of asthma management can improve health outcomes in asthmatic children. Therefore, it is important to develop an evidence-based asthma education guideline for them. This dissertation aims to evaluate the empirical evidence of the education program for asthmatic children, with the age ranging from 5 to 18, and their parents. The goal of the proposed program is to reduce their re-hospitalization rate by enhancing their knowledge of asthma care. A translational nursing research was conducted and 10 studies focusing on asthma education program for children and their parents were identified from electronic databases. Critical appraisal was performed using the recognized assessment tool, named the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) (2008). Recommendations were developed based on the data extracted from the review. Based on the literatures reviewed, it was found that a 45-to-60 minute one-to-one educational intervention conducted by nurses using self-management plan is the most effective method for improving the health outcomes for asthmatic children. A plan of translating the empirical information extracted from the review into practice was developed and the potential of implementation was assessed. Based on the assessment, it was found that there is high transferability of the findings from the review and the proposed innovation is feasible in the selected clinical setting. In addition, the benefits generated from the proposed innovation also outweigh its cost. An evidence-based guideline was then developed based on the high and medium level of evidence. The grades of the recommendation were stated as well. A comprehensive communication plan targeting on various stakeholders was prepared. A pilot study was designed to examine the feasibility of the proposed innovation before the full-scale implementation. The outcomes of the proposed innovation include the re-hospitalization rate of asthmatic children, the patients' and nurses' level of knowledge in asthma care, the satisfactory level of patients and nurses towards the innovation, the competency of nurses in conducting the innovation, and the utilization rate and the cost of the innovation. They would be evaluated using appropriate methodologies. The proposed innovation would be considered as effective if the primary outcome, the re-hospitalization rate of asthmatic children is reduced.

One-liner: A set of policy recommendations to promote the development and maintenance of communities in which children with asthma can be swiftly diagnosed, effectively treated, and protected from exposure to harmful environmental factors. An estimated 5 million U.S. children have asthma. Too many of these children are unnecessarily impaired. Much of the money spent on asthma is for high-cost health care services to treat acute periods of illness. Many asthma attacks could be avoided--and much suffering prevented and many medical costs saved--if more children received good-quality, ongoing asthma care and if the 11 policy recommendations presented in this report were implemented in a oordinated fashion. A national call to action, the policy recommendations span public and private interests and compel integration of public health activities across local, state, and federal levels. This report summarizes the findings of an effort funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as part of the Pediatric Asthma Initiative, whose purpose is to address current gaps in national childhood asthma care. It is the first national initiative that simultaneously addresses treatment, policy, and financing issues for children with asthma at the patient, provider, and institutional levels. The purpose of RAND's effort was to:--identify a range of policy actions in both the public and private sectors that could improve childhood asthma outcomes nationwide--select a subset of policies to create a blueprint for national policy in this area--outline alternatives to implement these policies that build on prior efforts.The effort developed a comprehensive policy framework that maps the identified strategies to one overall policy objective: to promote the development and maintenance of asthma-friendly communities--communities in which children with asthma are swiftly diagnosed, receive appropriate and ongoing treatment, and are not exposed to environmental factors that exacerbate their condition. This report is intended as a working guide for coordinating the activities of both public and private organizations at the federal, state, and local community levels.

A complete guide to evidence based interventions for children and adolescents The past decade has witnessed the development of numerous interventions proved to be highly effective; several treatments are now considered to be "well established" or "probably efficacious" interventions for children. Given the range of providers working with children—clinical psychologists, child psychiatrists, clinical social workers, school psychologists, and marriage and family therapists—this book is designed to provide all professionals the information they now need about the use of these evidence-based interventions (EBIs), as well as the evaluation criteria used to determine their efficacy in in meeting the mental health needs of children. Alfano and Beidel have assembled a team of experts to write the disorder chapters. Each chapter begins with an overview of the disorder then delves into evidence-based approaches to treatment, the impact of parental involvement, case-by-case modifications, progress measurement, and clinical examples. In overview chapters the editors cover: The role of development in treatment planning and implementation Dissemination of EBIs into school and community settings The use of controversial therapies with children Emerging methods of service delivery and access improvement Comprehensive Evidence Based Interventions for Children and Adolescents provides clinicians, researchers, and students alike with the theoretical, conceptual, and practical skills to provide children and adolescents with the best care possible.

" Asthma exacerbation in school continues to be a problem that affects the health and education of students who suffer with asthma. Children with uncontrolled asthma miss more school days and have less hours of educational instruction due to frequent visits to the school nurse for asthma management. Evidence shows that school nurse-provided education to parents and teachers can increase the knowledge level of parents and teachers and reduce asthma exacerbations of the children in schools. This evidence-base practice change project consisted of a school nurse-driven asthma educational program for parents and teachers. Outcomes were knowledge of asthma and asthma management and asthma exacerbations in the school setting. A Pre-Asthma Knowledge Quiz was administered to all participants. Each participant was given three-one hour individual asthma education sessions that focused on asthma triggers, prevention and medications. After the educational sessions were completed, each participant was given the same Asthma Knowledge Quiz. Results showed an increase in asthma knowledge in both participant groups (teachers by 13% and parents by 16.6%) and an 82% decrease in asthma exacerbations of students, both outcomes exceeding the benchmark. The implication is that providing asthma education to parents and teachers can be effective in increasing the knowledge of parents and teachers and reducing asthma exacerbations for students in the school setting. Recommendations include implementation of school nurse-driven asthma educations programs for parents and teachers in schools with a high population of students diagnosed with asthma and in schools where there is a high incidence of asthma exacerbation during school hours. Key words: childhood asthma, asthma exacerbations in school, asthma education, parents, teachers " -- Abstract

Since about 1980, asthma prevalence and asthma-related hospitalizations and deaths have increased substantially, especially among children. Of particular concern is the high mortality rate among African Americans with asthma. Recent studies have suggested that indoor exposuresâ€"to dust mites, cockroaches, mold, pet dander, tobacco smoke, and other biological and chemical pollutantsâ€"may influence the disease course of asthma. To ensure an appropriate response, public health and education officials have sought a science-based assessment of asthma and its relationship to indoor air exposures. Clearing the Air meets this need. This book examines how indoor pollutants contribute to asthmaâ€"its causation, prevalence, triggering, and severity. The committee discusses asthma among the general population and in sensitive subpopulations including children, low-income individuals, and urban residents. Based on the most current findings, the book also evaluates the scientific basis for mitigating the effects of indoor air pollutants implicated in asthma. The committee identifies priorities for public health policy, public education outreach, preventive intervention, and further research.

Social work practice in health care requires that practitioners be prepared to meet the interdisciplinary and managed care demands for best practices in efficacious, time-limited, and culturally competent interventions, with populations across the lifespan. This text is designed to meet that demand for evidence-based practice. The result of extensive systematic reviews, Evidence-based Interventions for Social Work in Health Care provides substantive in-depth knowledge of empirically based interventions specifically for major and emerging medical diseases and health conditions particularly affecting diverse, at-risk and marginalized populations. It outlines best practices for the psychosocial problems associated with the emerging chronic and major health conditions of the twenty-first century, such as paediatric asthma, Type I and Type II diabetes, obesity, paediatric cancer, and adult hypertension. The interventions discussed are detailed in terms of for whom, by whom, when, under what circumstances, for what duration, and for what level client system the intervention has proven most effective. This invaluable text is suitable for students and will be a useful reference for practitioners specialising in social work in health settings.
