“…Although there are no governmental guidelines for the care of asthma, doctors in Sudan practice addressing the condition. 6 The purpose of this study is to evaluate and enhance paediatric registrars’ understanding and practice of managing asthma in order to better control asthma, reduce the need for numerous medications, minimise adverse effects, and minimise hospitalisation and worsening of the condition.…”

“…GINA was created to promote the development of guidelines and knowledge translation on a global scale, taking into account the needs and resources of local communities, with the shared goal of reducing asthma morbidity and mortality by bridging the knowledge gap between what is known and how asthma management is practised. 6 Related earlier research was conducted in Nigeria on the use of GINA principles in paediatric residents' asthma care. Evaluating paediatric residents' clinical use of GINA guidelines was the goal.…”

Background and Aims It is essential to have proper treatment and management for asthma in order to minimise symptoms, lessen the burden, and lower the chance of exacerbations. To better control asthma, the purpose of this study was to evaluate and enhance paediatric registrars’ understanding and application of asthma treatment. Methods The Sudan Medical Specialisation Board (SMSB) paediatric registrars provided data for this quasi-interventional study between April and September of 2021. Twice, both before to and following the intervention education sessions, the questionnaire was delivered. SPSS version 28 was used to analyse the data after it had been cleaned up in an Excel document. Results 203 (or 77.8%) of the 261 were women. A substantial rise from 8.1 ± 4.12 SD to 18 ± 5.03 SD in the mean overall knowledge score of registrars between the pre-and post-intervention periods. A significant difference (p=0.001) was observed in the post-intervention phase, with first-year registrars (R1) demonstrating higher scores than their senior colleagues. The registrars’ total knowledge scores did not differ significantly from one another during the pre-intervention period. The Global Initiative of Asthma (GINA) guidelines of management were implemented to a certain extent, according to the study. Of the registrars, 148 (56.7%) and 203 (77.8%) evaluated step one management in children ages 5 and under; 66 (25.3%) and 213 (81.6%) evaluated step one management in children ages 6 to 11; and 66 (25.3%) and 213 (81.6%) evaluated step one management in children ages 6 to 11 in pre- and post-intervention, respectively. Conclusion Given that the intervention in this study greatly increased registrars’ knowledge, doctors should obtain training on the GINA 2019 recommendations through conferences, workshops, and academic programmes. To find out why R1 outperforms their older counterparts, more investigation has to be done.
