“…So; accurate identification of asthma triggers often is a requirement for adequate asthma management. In our study level of knowledge were improved significantly post intervention with slightly decrease in follow up phase which agrees with the study of by Coelho et al (2017) which, confirmed that majority of the adolescents had previously unsatisfactory knowledge about asthma. The relief and maintenance treatment were the most unknown issues in their sample.…”

“…Additionally, it has been cited as an essential component of any asthma management strategy, by improving asthma knowledge and changing behavior. Recently there is little awareness about asthma in most of the developing countries (Coelho et al 2017, andGajanan et al, 2016). Managing asthma is a challenging task as it requires sustained performance of numerous behaviors from patients, their relatives, and the health care providers involved in their care (Janssens& Ritz, 2013).…”

Background: Asthma is the widespread health problem and most common chronic disease among children. Developing self-care skills related to children with asthma forms a basis for nursing care. Orem’s self-care model is one of the most comprehensive self-care theories that provide a good clinical guide for planning and implementing the principles of good self-care.The Aim of this study: was to determine the effect of asthma educational package based on Orem’s self-care model on the development of self-care activities of children with asthma.Subjects and Methods: a quasi-experimental study conducted on a purposive sample of 106 children with bronchial asthma in pediatric outpatient clinic at Zagazig University hospital. The research tools used in this study were demographic characteristics of studied children. Asthma triggers inventory, asthma knowledge questionnaire, asthma self-management questionnaire, asthma Self-Efficacy regarding self-management of asthma, medication adherence, and inhaler technique observation checklist and health instruction guidelines.Results: the results showed that after the training intervention self-efficacy, asthma management, adherence of asthmatic children to medications were significantly increased (p > 000). The study findings concluded that the asthma education program improved all aspects of self-efficacy and activities of asthma management after program implementation.Conclusion: the educational program based on Orem’s self-care model successfully improves the performance of inhaler use. The study indicates that self-care activities were efficient among children with asthma after implementation of program.Recommendations: it suggested to conduct Orem’s self-care model for children with bronchial asthma and to replicate the study in many settings to support its effectiveness.

“…The survey also revealed that COPD was not highlighted among the top five diagnoses for respiratory symptoms. This is despite evidence that COPD is one of the leading chronic respiratory diseases in low and middle-income countries [26]. These findings confirm the results from a similar study in Masindi district Uganda which revealed that health workers had very low awareness of COPD.…”

Background Acute and chronic respiratory diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Uganda, but there is little attention to chronic respiratory diseases in the health programmes. This survey assessed the gaps in knowledge and skills, among healthcare workers in managing respiratory illnesses. Methods A mixed methods study was conducted among primary care health workers, physicians and healthcare planners to assess gaps in knowledge and skills, and training needs in managing respiratory illnesses. The perspectives of patients with respiratory diseases were also sought. Data were collected using questionnaires, patient panel discussions and review of pre-service training curricula for clinicians, nurses and midwives. Survey Monkey was used to collect survey data. Descriptive analysis was undertaken for quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data. Results A total of 104 respondents participated in the survey and of these, 76.9% (80/104) were primary care health workers, 16.3% (17/104) specialist clinicians and 6.7% (7/104) healthcare planners. Over 90% of the respondents indicated that more than half of the patients in their clinics presented with respiratory symptoms. More than half (52%) of the primary care health workers were not comfortable in diagnosing and managing chronic respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD. Only 4% of them were comfortable performing procedures like pulse oximetry, nebulization, and interpreting x-rays. Majority (75%) of the primary care health workers had received in-service training but only 4% of the sessions focused on respiratory diseases. The clinicians indicated that the pre-service training curricula included a wide scope of respiratory diseases, but the actual training had not sufficiently prepared them to manage respiratory diseases. The patients were unsatisfied with the care in primary care facilities and reported that they were often treated for the wrong illnesses. Conclusions Respiratory illnesses contribute significantly to the burden of diseases in primary care facilities in Uganda. Management of patients with respiratory diseases remains a challenge partially because of inadequate knowledge and skills of the primary care health workers. A training programme to improve the competences of health workers in respiratory medicine is highly recommended.
