Asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood. Its incidence is the highest in primary school children and it is the principal cause of school absenteeism. Prevalence of childhood asthma in India is increasing day by day. It is important for teachers and staff to be aware of the symptoms, triggers and the management of asthma in the school environment. School teacher could be a useful source of health information for students, but they themselves would have to possess adequate and accurate knowledge regarding asthma. The study revealed that the existing knowledge of teachers on asthma among school children is moderate but practices are very low. The enhancement in both knowledge and practice is very much required. This research study is useful to read by health personnel's, teachers, doctors, nurses and school administrators, health administrators, persons involved in care of sick children for gaining the knowledge on issue and better handling & management of children with asthma.

" 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

This book comprehensively presents all the necessary information health professionals need to become Certified Asthma Educators. Competent asthma educators must possess a number of skills: they must have appropriate and sound medical and pharmaceutical knowledge; be proficient and effective educators who can influence their patients’ behaviors for the better; and, finally, they need the administrative and organizational skills needed to set up and run efficient clinics at their places of work. The book is divided into three sections to meet those needs: Asthma: The Fundamentals; The Role of Education; and, The Effective Asthma Educator. The first section covers clinical knowledge of asthma, with chapters including lung structure and function, clinical presentation of asthma, and environmental issues in asthma management. The second section delves into the role of educating patients and teaches readers how to best do that with an integrated approach between physician, educator, and patient. The third section looks further into educating techniques with a view of the learning process, considerations for instruction locations, and the role the educator plays overall. The final chapter in the book presents example cases for readers to assess the knowledge they have learned throughout. This second edition serves as both textbook and study guide for certification as well as a long-term reference publication. It has been fully updated from the previous edition with the latest treatment guidelines, medications, and disease monitoring methods. This is an ideal guide for asthma educators, those seeking NAECB certification, and any health professional involved with individuals who have asthma.

Background: School settings are one of the most crucial context for asthma management second only to a child's home. Today school administrators are faced with many challenges, not only are they responsible for students' learning needs but they also manage complex behavioural and health issues including asthma. Most do not have standardized plans regarding asthma management. Objectives: 1) Systematically review the research literature related to asthma management within the school setting. 2) Determine current asthma management practices as reported by school administrators. 3) Explore experiences and barriers to asthma management practices with school administrators. Method: Guided by the Knowledge to Action framework, the study was divided in three phases using a planned action approach and included an integrative synthesis of the evidence, an administrators' survey, and an administrator's meeting. Findings: Phase One: Following a search using three databases, 67 articles were critiqued. The literature illustrates that many countries have established "asthma friendly schools" legislation that includes process for identifying children with asthma, right to self-carry and administer medications, enhancing communication and cooperation between school staff, parents, and children with asthma, reducing triggers in school environment, and effective policies that make legislation a functioning reality within schools. Phase Two: Ninety-seven surveys were distributed within two district school boards with 61 completed surveys returned (63% response rate). Key findings included underestimation of the prevalence of asthma, no standardized process for identifying children with asthma, staff training deficiency for recognizing and responding to asthma exacerbations, lack of individual asthma action plans for children, absence of programs to support current legislation and best practice guidelines. Communication was the most common barrier identified by school administrators. Phase Three: Two principals in an administrator's meeting validated the survey results. Participants were not familiar with the concept of asthma friendly school, asthma prevalence rates, or free school asthma resources. Asthma Action Plans were not universally understood as individualized written plans but rather a generalized first aide response plan. Conclusion: There are knowledge and practices gaps placing children with asthma at risk for exacerbation and death within school setting. Administrators want to partner to facilitate optimal asthma management within the school setting.

In recent years the escalating costs of health care have caused managed care programs to shift the delivery of pediatric psychological services away from specialized medical centers and into primary care and school settings. One result has been a radical expansion of school psychology into issues of clinical intervention, health promotion, and the assessment of psychotropic medications. School psychologists are now expected to either deliver or (more likely) to provide consultation regarding a wide variety of pediatric psychological services. Because this is a recent phenomenon, very few school-based psychologists or allied health practitioners (school counselors and social workers) have received training in pediatric psychology. The mission of this book is to provide them with a comprehensive and authoritative guide to their newly acquired responsibilities in such areas as psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, health promotion, and prevention of disease. This book is appropriate for anyone concerned with issues of pediatric psychology in school settings: school psychologists, pediatric psychologists, clinical child psychologists, as well as pediatricians and child psychiatrists.
