详细描述
This randomized control trial design study was conducted on children aged 6 -11 years, visiting the pediatric outpatient department and emergency at Dr. Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi.
For the experimental group, a nursing educational intervention session was conducted with the patient and family/caregiver by the principal investigator, and a doctor provided the usual care/treatment. In contrast, the control group received only the usual care/treatment provided by the doctor.
For the control group, educational material on asthma was provided in a booklet according to Global Initiative of Asthma (GINA) guidelines. Pre Childhood-Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) score of participants was measured before the intervention, and post-C-ACT score measurement was made after one month using the same questionnaires and C-ACT tool.
