“…Most intervention studies that aimed to increase medication adherence in adults with asthma found that better medication adherence predicted increases in QOL from baseline to follow-up at 2 to 4 weeks [12], and even over longer periods of time, like 3 months [13]. However, some studies did not show improvement in QOL as a result of better medication adherence at 3 or 6 months after the intervention [14].…”

“…Therefore, the main effects of each of time alone, group alone Asthma education program, however, yielded variable results in previous studies. Choi and Chung [48] conducted study to examine the effect of an individualized education programme on asthma control, inhaler use skill, asthma knowledge and health-related QoL (HRQoL) among poorly compliant adult Korean patients with asthma. Their study results showed that peak expiratory flow rate, inhaler using skill scores and health-related quality of life scores improved following the intervention, whereas knowledge score did not.…”

Background: Most chronic diseases are variable and an individual must exercise a significant degree of judgment regarding management. Self management therefore requires that the person understands the illness and actively participate in the treatment process. According to self regulation (SR) theory, individuals are required to set personally important goals that guide their behaviors through goalguidance process. Since, very few or almost no available data to assess self-regulation interventions focused on improving asthma knowledge and control, the current study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of asthma-self-regulation intervention among targeted patients. Methods/Design: A pre/post-test study design was used to compare a six-session asthma-self regulation intervention on participants' outcome. Intervention program was based on the principles of self-regulation for disease management, and all program activities and materials are designed to be responsive to the specific needs of participants. Thirty asthmatic patients were recruited for the study.Researchers assessed the effect of the intervention on patients' knowledge gains and control of asthma symptoms. Data were collected at baseline, immediately and two months after the program. Keywords:Asthma, Chronic disease self management, Selfregulation, Knowledge, Asthma control Research Article Open Access IntroductionAsthma is a major public health problem and one of the most common chronic conditions in the world. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study, asthma caused more than 345,000 deaths worldwide in 2010 [1]. In Europe alone, asthma affects 30 million people and the cost of asthma care in Europe is estimated at £18 billion per year; lost productivity accounts for almost £10 billion of this [1]. The second half of the 20 th century was marked by a disturbing increase in frequency of allergic diseases, affecting approximately 20 percent of the global population, and the rate of bronchial asthma amongst adults is 5.4 percent (4.9% in men and 5.8% in women) [2]. Epidemiological studies in Saudi Arabia revealed an increasing prevalence of asthma in the past three decades, which may be attributed to the rapid lifestyle changes related to the modernization of Saudi society, changes in dietary habits, and exposure to environmental factors such as indoor allergens, dust, sand storms, and tobacco [3]. Asthma, a common chronic disorder of the airways in Saudi Arabia affecting more than 2 million Saudis, ranks19 th in terms of disability-adjusted life years [4].Asthma had an enormous impact on patient's wellbeing [5], despite the availability of effective treatments and evidencebased management guidelines [6]. Asthma can result in physical, emotional, and social limitations that can impair patients' quality oflife [7]. There is a growing burden of asthma in terms of morbidity,

“…In our study, it was found that the patients in the experimental group had higher inhaler use skill mean scores after training compared to the control group. In a study by Choi and Chung (16), it was determined that the level of inhaler use skills significantly improved after individual training. In a study by Kishan and Garg (17), it was reported that after a period of 3 months following asthma training, the rate of accurate inhaler use increased from 44% to 86% in elderly patients and increased from 64% to 98% in young individuals.…”

Background: Asthma is a chronic disease which is prevalent throughout the world. Physical problems such as deterioration in oral health, which may occur due to the triggering factors of asthma as well as the ineffective use of asthma medicine, seem to affect the daily lives of asthma patients. Therefore, it is important to protect oral health and promote positive behavior changes in asthma patients in order to achieve effective treatment and asthma control. Aims: The present study aimed to determine the effects of a training program provided for asthma patients on oral health, inhaler use skills, and behavior change. Study Design: Controlled experimental study. Methods: A total of 124 asthma patients were included in the study. Of the patients, 62 were assigned to the experimental group and the other 62 were assigned to the control group. Data were collected using the patient identification form, the oral assessment guide, the inhaler use skill form, and the evaluation form for behavior change over time. The experimental group received training provided by the researchers on the first meeting and one month later. Written and visual training material were used. Both groups were subject to a final evaluation which was conducted 4 months after their first meeting. Results: It was determined that the oral assessment guide scores (p<0.01) and inhaler use skills of the experimental group improved significantly after the training compared to the control group (p<0.01). In addition, it was observed that the number of patients in the experimental group who quit smoking (p<0.05), used their medicine (p<0.01) and brushed their teeth on a regular basis (p<0.01), and washed their mouth after inhaler use significantly increased in the experimental group after training compared to the control group (p<0.01). Conclusion:The study demonstrated that the training provided for asthma patients improved oral health and promoted inhaler use skills and was partially effective in promoting positive asthma-related behavior change.
