Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asthma is one of the most common respiratory disorders in children. Asthma self-management education programs aim to improve asthma treatment, management, and control in the United States and help patients to develop the knowledge and skills about asthma. Previous studies have shown that asthma self-management education programs have improved quality of care for children and reduced medical care costs. However, most of these studies had small sample sizes or focused on children from one certain hospital or a selected region for analysis. To fill this gap, this study analyzes data from the 2006-2012 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) Asthma Call-back Survey (ACBS). ACBS is a nationally representative survey of children with asthma in the United States, which increases the generalizability of the findings. Multinomial logistic regression models are used to analyze the association between participation in asthma self-management education programs and health outcomes and healthcare utilization for children with asthma. The results indicate that receiving more asthma education is associated with fewer routine care visits, medical visits for asthma episodes, hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and urgent care visits, and better control of asthma symptoms. The benefits of asthma education on hospitalizations and emergency department visits did not differ by financial hardship or race/ethnicity. This study provides evidence that asthma self-management education improves health outcomes for children and reduces healthcare utilization.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asthma is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in the United States (Centers for Disease Control [CDC], 2003). According to the CDC (2003), prevalence of asthma continues to rise in epidemic proportions and is very costly. While asthma cannot be prevented or cured, it can be controlled to improve quality of life. Self-management is key to controlling asthma (CDC, 2003; National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute [NHLBI], 2002). State of the science for asthma self-management establishes that health care costs decrease for self-management intervention groups (Lindberg et al, 2002; Thoonen et al, 2003). Education is essential to support asthma self-management, but state of the science does not indicate the type of education intervention or how intense an education intervention should be. Education literature supports meeting learner needs as an essential component for successful adult learning. The purpose of this study is to examine and compare the effects of two asthma self-management programs on adult asthma control, the individually tailored and the standardized. It is a comparative, pretest-posttest design to examine and compare the effects of the standardized education (n = 44) and the individually tailored education (n = 44) on asthma control. The education curriculum for both groups is based on National Asthma Education Prevention Program guidelines. The individually tailored education utilizes an andragogical framework. The Asthma Control Test (ACT) and Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) readings were utilized as pre and post-test measures (American Lung Association, 2002). An independent t-test, chi-square, and repeated measure general linear model technique were utilized to compare groups. There was a significant difference in ACT scores between pre and post-test, regardless of asthma teaching methods, as indicated by multivariate tests of within subject effects (F = 4.43, p = .038). There was a statistically significant decrease in mean number episodes of shortness of breath (F =6.22, p = .015) regardless of asthma teaching methods. The current study supports a standardized and an individually tailored education program as being effective in improving asthma control and decreasing episodes of shortness of breath and supports a growing need for nurses to become involved in adult asthma education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Review sets out to propose a structure for the funding arrangements for the whole spectrum of health research, with the objective of obtaining the maximum benefit from research success and, where possible, eliminating duplication of effort. The Review found, however, that the UK is at risk of failing to reap the full economic, health and social benefits that the UK's public investment in health research should generate. There is no overarching UK health research strategy to ensure UK health priorities are considered through all types of research and there are two key gaps in the translation of health research: (i) translating ideas from basic and clinical research into the development of new products and approaches to treatment of disease and illness; (ii) implementing those new products and approaches into clinical practice.The Review also found that the wider funding arrangements for supporting translation of ideas from conception to practice could be more coherent or comprehensive and, where arrangements exist, they do not function well. The Review identified cultural, institutional and financial barriers to translating research into practice in the publicly funded research arena. But it also found that, in the private sector, the pharmaceuticals industry is facing increasing challenges in translating research into health and economic benefit. The Review has sought to make recommendations that will increase the translation of R&D into health and economic benefit for the UK, both in the public and private sectors. The Review recommends that the Government should seek to achieve better coordination of health research and more coherent funding arrangements to support translation by establishing an Office for Strategic Coordination of Health Research (OSCHR).

This book was released on 2021 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asthma is a leading chronic disease among school-aged children and adolescents. In one rural Maryland public school system, asthma accounts for many school health visits, missed school days, and emergency room (ER) visits, especially among middle schoolers. Learning asthma self-management techniques must become a priority to prevent poor health outcomes in this group. Currently in the school system, asthma self-management education is not provided to asthmatic adolescents. This Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project sought to explore whether a school-based, nurse-led group asthma education program, called Kickin' Asthma, implemented virtually, could improve asthma symptoms, spacer use techniques, rescue inhaler needs, and frequency of ER visits among students with persistent asthma in grades 6 through 8 over three months. Current evidence suggests school-based asthma education may improve asthma knowledge and self-management abilities with resultant improved health outcomes among asthmatic adolescents. Despite limitations set forth by COVID-19, this project found school-based asthma education can improve asthma-related sleep disturbance (p

Despite huge progress on the management of asthma in recent decades, suboptimal health outcomes associated with under-management is still commonly encountered. Self management was shown to be a both clinically and cost effective approach to improve asthma outcomes in some studies. The role of pharmacists in promoting self management of asthma was explored in individual studies but limited review was conducted to assess its effectiveness. Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of pharmacist interventions on the self management of asthma patients in the community setting and to examine if the benefits, if any, could be realized by implementing such interventions in Hong Kong. Methods: A systematic search was conducted on Medline, Embase, Pubmed and Cochrane Library without time limit to identify studies assessing the clinical, humanistic and economic outcomes of pharmacist-led self management interventions towards adolescent or adult patients with asthma compared to usual care. Risk of bias of studies was appraised using a tool adapted from the Effective Practice of Organization of Care version of the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Results: The search yielded 504 studies of which eight studies were eligible for inclusion. The included studies involved 1674 patients, were published between 2001 and 2008 and were originated from seven countries. Discrepancies of findings were noted in the majority of outcome measures reviewed. Significant benefits of pharmacist interventions included improvement of inhalation technique and reduction of rescue medication use although no significant effect was observed with regard to forced expiratory volume in one second and days lost from work or school. Conclusions: The evidence of pharmacist interventions on the self management of asthma remains inconsistent, probably attributable to variable quality of studies and heterogeneous assessment methods and outcome measures. Future research should aim to produce randomized, controlled studies incorporating allocation concealment with a follow-up period of over one year. Nevertheless, pharmacist-led asthma self management initiatives could be implemented at the general outpatient clinic setting in Hong Kong to further improve the quality of primary care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Severe asthma is a form of asthma that responds poorly to currently available medication, and its patients represent those with greatest unmet needs. In the last 10 years, substantial progress has been made in terms of understanding some of the mechanisms that drive severe asthma; there have also been concomitant advances in the recognition of specific molecular phenotypes. This ERS Monograph covers all aspects of severe asthma – epidemiology, diagnosis, mechanisms, treatment and management – but has a particular focus on recent understanding of mechanistic heterogeneity based on an analytic approach using various ‘omics platforms applied to clinically well-defined asthma cohorts. How these advances have led to improved management targets is also emphasised. This book brings together the clinical and scientific expertise of those from around the world who are collaborating to solve the problem of severe asthma.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive, first-of-its kind title is an indispensable resource for pharmacists looking to learn or improve crucial patient assessment skills relevant to all pharmacy practice settings. Pharmacists’ role as health care practitioners is evolving as they are taking a more active part in primary patient care -- helping patients manage their medications and diseases, providing patient education, and, in some jurisdictions, prescribing and adapting medications. To perform their day-to-day duties, pharmacists are best-served using a framework called the patient care process. This framework involves three steps: patient assessment; care plan development and implementation; and monitoring and follow up. Organized in four parts, this practical book begins with introductory chapters regarding the basics of patient assessment and the patient care process. Part II includes a detailed assessment of common symptoms encountered by pharmacists. Part III discusses assessment of patients with various chronic illnesses. Part IV addresses select specialized topics and assessment considerations. An invaluable contribution to the literature, Patient Assessment in Clinical Pharmacy: A Comprehensive Guide will be of great benefit to pharmacists, regardless of their practice setting, and to pharmacy students as well.
