Official title
Impact of Educational Intervention Protocol on the Level of Knowledge, Clinical Control and Lung Function of People With Asthma: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Overview
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of a proposed educational intervention on people with asthma. The main question it aims to contribute to a better understanding of the effectiveness of educational intervention strategies in people with asthma. Participants allocated to the control group will receive standard follow-up according to the clinic routine. Participants allocated to the experimental group will undergo an educational intervention BUNDLE, prepared in accordance with the recommendations of the Global Initiative for Asthma- GINA (2024).
Detailed description
People with asthma will participate in the study, from the Pulmonary Function Clinic of the Department of Physiotherapy at Federal University of Paraíba - UFPB. Spirometry data, knowledge about asthma and correct control over inhalation therapy, clinical control of the disease using the Asthma Control Test (ACT) and C-ACT questionnaire, number of asthma attacks, amount of medication used, hospitalizations and visit to the emergency room in the last 4 weeks will be assessed. Assessments will be carried out at the first contact (baseline) and twelve weeks after the first contact.
Interventions
- Other Educational intervention BUNDLE, prepared in accordance with the recommendations of the Global Initiative for Asthma- GINA (2024)).
The educational intervention bundle was designed in accordance with the recommendations of GINA (2024), and will cover topics on the etiopathogenesis and pathophysiology of asthma, inhaler treatment, precipitating factors for crises, self-management skills, environmental control, as well as the importance of drawing up a written therapeutic plan and regular medical follow-up. The educational intervention will be offered as a group activity and will be conducted in a single meeting, lasting appr
