“… 14 Another study illustrated that 62.7% of asthmatics have poor, 12% have good and only 25.3% possess an adequate knowledge of their condition. 15 Similar studies showed that although the patients have a positive attitude towards the disease, their specific disease knowledge was low. 16 17 In our study, the proportion of patients (16.7%) who correctly answered more than 50% of the questions was greater than that reported by Al et al, 13 (4%) but similar to that reported by Nguyen et al (16.5%).…”

ObjectivesPoor control of asthma in the majority of patients could be partly due to their lack of knowledge concerning disease management, its triggering agents and when to seek advice from the healthcare provider. This study aims to assess the impact of pharmacist-led educational intervention on knowledge of self-management among asthmatic patients.DesignA pre–post cohort study.SettingOutpatient department of a tertiary care hospital affiliated with Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan.ParticipantsApproximately 265 adult asthmatic patients selected through a spirometry process, aged ≥18 years, were approached. 240 patients gave consent to participate in the study and were divided into control and treatment groups.InterventionsThe educational intervention consisted of individual patient counselling using educational material with time varied according to each patient’s comprehension and previous knowledge.Primary and secondary outcome measuresAssessment consisted of a 14-item Asthma Self-Management Knowledge Questionnaire (ASMQ) quantifying a patient’s self-management knowledge through an ASMQ score and its change following an educational intervention.ResultsDisease self-management knowledge was low with an average raw ASMQ score of 4.1 (max 14); which equates to a transformed score of 29.34 (max 100) and the proportion of patients who correctly answered more than 50% of questions were 16.7% preintervention. More than half of the participants (55%) did not know that asthma cannot be cured. The administration of educational intervention protocols resulted in significantly improved level of knowledge of asthma self-management (<0.001) in the treatment group (mean ASMQ score improved from 4.20 to 9.77).ConclusionOn baseline visit, patients possessed a poor knowledge about asthma self-management. Educational intervention protocols had a positive impact on improving patients’ knowledge about disease self-management. This would suggest that education and self-management skills should be seen as an integral component of asthma management and should be incorporated in structured patient care to achieve optimal asthma control.

“…Additionally Abbas et al (2019) (36) , reported that the lower percentage of the participants had good knowledge pre-program and improved after program. Similarly with Elbanna, et al (2017) (37) who reported that most participants had good knowledge scores after the program application with a statistically significant difference in the total score of knowledge pre and post the program.…”

Subjects and Method: Design: A quasi-experimental study was conducted at Chest Intensive Care Unit at Tanta University Hospitals. Subjects: Purposive sample of 60 adult patients with asthma and divided into two equal groups 30 patients in each group. Group 1(study group) and group 2 (control group). Tools of the study: Two tools were used tool (I) Structure Interview Schedule, Tool II Respiratory functions assessment sheet. Results: There was a statistical significant improvement in the level of patients knowledge about asthma ,the majority of study group (83.3%) improved to mild persistent asthma, the majority (96.7%) of the study group changes from abnormal breathing sound to clear sound, more than two third (70%) of study group improved in dyspnea scale to first grade. Conclusions: The results concluded that implementation of respiratory guidelines associated with a significant improvement in the total mean scores of patients' knowledge, asthma severity and spirometry readings in study group rather than control group Recommendations: It was recommended to consider respiratory guidelines when planning a routine care for asthmatic patient , apply the respiratory guidelines on a larger probability sample acquired from different geographical areas in Egypt for generalization.
