“…For families of children with asthma, these complex aspects of management, as well as integrating asthma into the family context and understanding asthma as a chronic illness, are considered necessary components of comprehensive parental education (Brown, Gallagher, Fowler, & Wales, ). Parents often serve as proxies for their children and assume responsibility for their care, and education therefore should follow a family‐centered approach (Kumar, Edelman, & Ficorelli, ), but inadequate family‐centered asthma education continues to hamper management efforts (Cleveland, ; Peterson‐Sweeney et al, ; McMullen et al, ).…”

“…Education improves asthma management (Boyd et al, ; Nicholas et al, ; Cleveland, ), including knowledge, self‐efficacy, and medication adherence (Toole, ). Conversely, lack of knowledge is linked to poorer child health outcomes, parental fear, anxiety, and uncertainty (Berg, Anderson, Tichacek, Tomizh, & Rachelefsky, ).…”

Parents of children with asthma provide the vast majority of day-to-day asthma care. Understanding their information needs is an essential step to provide meaningful and effective family-centered asthma education. To gain insight into the information needs and information deficits of parents of children with asthma, we conducted an interpretive descriptive study to capture the perspectives of 21 parents from diverse backgrounds whose 23 children with asthma had a range of illness trajectories and management scenarios. Parents were purposively sampled from two asthma clinics and one pediatric emergency department in a large urban center in North America. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2011-2012. In data analysis, parents' self-identified information needs were distinguished from analysts' interpretations of information deficits. Participants' knowledge did not always reflect time since diagnosis, and information needs and deficits persisted for years. Parents often reported receiving little or no little or no education about asthma and its management. An asthma management information hierarchy was identified, starting with the most foundational, recognizing severity; followed by acute management; prevention versus crisis orientation; and knowing "about" asthma. In the absence of adequate and accurate education, parents' beliefs about the nature of asthma as an acute rather than chronic condition shaped their asthma management decisions and information-seeking behaviors. Information deficits were affected by interactions with health care providers. These parents' pervasive unmet information needs and deficits highlight the need for comprehensive, problem-oriented asthma education.

“…While children with asthma must learn to manage their own disease, a majority of the literature examining asthma education targets families or parents [8][9][10][11][12]. Of the studies focused on children, most address interventions for school-aged children [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Childhood asthma is a growing societal problem that causes suffering for children and families. Short of finding a cure, the best way to address this problem is to give children with asthma the resources they need to control their condition. Unfortunately, research and resources for young children with asthma are lacking. The authors hypothesize that an approach using technology based delivery methods to provide age-appropriate education, which promotes self-regulation and includes psychosocial elements, could help children with asthma decrease exacerbations in the short term and establish healthy habits in the long term. To lay the groundwork for the initial investigation of this hypothesis, the authors reviewed the literature for three elements: audience (children with asthma), content (self-regulation and psychosocial elements), and media (mobile technology applications and digital story). Literature was reviewed for children's beliefs about illness and medication, self-regulation versus selfmanagement, the psychosocial elements of parental support and peer influences, technology and education, clinical computer-based education, electronic educational games, and smartphone applications. The gaps in the literature found regarding these topics point to areas where future research would be instructive for designing effective, technology based applications for children with asthma. To produce the most effective asthma education materials for children, all three elements in this literature review-audience, content, and medium-should be investigated in future research studies.
