“…Barna fikk bedre livskvalitet, mindre skolefravaer og reduserte belastninger knyttet til det å leve med astma (Cicutto et al 2005). Et organisert skolebasert program viste også gode resultater i form av mindre skolefravaer, faerre legebesøk, redusert bruk av astmamedisiner og bedre livskvalitet for barn i alderen 7-12 år (McGhan et al 2010). …”

“…Det ser ikke ut til at organisert undervisning generelt til barn med astma er et prioritert område for de aktuelle virksomhetene. Det er bekymringsfullt at organisert undervisning til barn og foreldre ikke er godt nok ivaretatt, når forskningen understreker viktigheten av at barn og foreldre får gode laeringstilbud som bidrar til kunnskaper og ferdigheter til å håndtere hverdagen med astma (Cicutto et al 2005;McGhan et al 2010). Retten til undervisning er nedfelt i lovverket og skal inngå som en integrert del av pasientforløpet og nødvendig informasjon skal gis og tilrettelegges i forhold til den enkeltes behov (Lov om pasient-og brukerrettigheter 1999; Lov om spesialisthelsetjenesten 1999).…”

“…34 A number of studies have assessed the effectiveness of providing asthma education in schools. 31,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] Some studies have extended these benefits to improvements in school grades and academic performance. Most school-based educational programs have focussed on building skills for elementary school-aged children and have demonstrated improvements in asthma knowledge, confidence/self-efficacy, asthma management skills and associated asthma morbidity outcomes, such as improved quality of life, and reduced symptoms, emergency department visits, urgent care visits, hospitalizations and school absenteeism.…”
