Asthma education--home-based intervention
Abstract
In order for patients with asthma to maintain an adequate level of self-management of the disease they must be provided initial and ongoing education. Education is a major tool in order to achieve this goal. This review discusses some of the components of asthma education that must be considered. There are also opportunities for the respiratory therapist to play a significant role in asthma disease management in the home. Education is a key tool in the management of asthma. The respiratory care professional can play a significant role in a home-based program.
