Living with asthma requires significant patient participation in self-care and management of their chronic disease. The focus of this research is to educate and promote health in patients with asthma, with nursing interventions. Education is vital for an asthma patient and involves a collaborative partnership between the nurse and the patient. Due to the chronic nature of asthma, nurses have a critical role in educating patients on how to recognize when their asthma is worsening and when to respond appropriately to improve their outcomes. Education can enable the patient to effectively self-manage and take responsibility for their illness. Written, verbal, and visual education should be used to teach the patient how to use medications effectively. Most importantly, the patient should be able to explain the medication they are taking and demonstrate the use of the inhaler. It is through better asthma-focused education that the quality of care can be improved. The main goal of asthma is to take the time to educate the patient about triggers, signs of good control, medications, and how best to use an action plan. Asthma: Patient Education and Nursing Interventions Currently 24 million Americans of all ages suffer from chronic asthma disease. The prevalence of asthma increased from 7.3% (20.3 million people) in 2001 to 8.2% (24.6 million people) in 2009, an increase of 12.3% (Centers for Disease Control [CDC], 2011). In 2009, asthma prevalence was higher among children (9.6%) than adults (7.7%) and was especially high among boys (11.3%) and non-Hispanic black children (17.0 %) (CDC, 2011). Among all children, the rate of asthma increased significantly from 2001 to 2009, from 8.7% to 9.6%, with… half of the article… and clinical guidelines support a phased approach to drug therapy, where treatment is intensified when necessary and reduced when control is good. Asthma treatment requires routine health care visits, drug treatments to effectively manage and control symptoms, and an environment that minimizes exposure to asthma triggers. Asthma sufferers can reduce the severity and number of attacks by using prescribed medications and avoiding or treating asthma triggers, such as allergies. they will learn the importance of preventative treatment that can help keep them healthy and avoid both hospital stays and emergency room visits. - Prevention management includes teaching the patient who has persistent airflow obstruction and frequent asthma attacks to avoid acute attack triggers and premedicate before exercise.
