Abstract

The identified problem in school-aged children is a lack of education to recognize triggers, symptoms, and methods to self-manage asthma episodes. The PICOT statement of interest was: In children 8 to 12 years old, does implementation of the Open Airways for Schools, a school-based program for asthma management versus no previous program for asthma management affect knowledge, avoidance of triggers, school absenteeism, and peak flow readings following six group sessions of asthma education over a three week period. The purpose of the evidence-based practice project was to connect the identified problem and the needs of children to cope with asthma while at school through implementation of a school-based asthma education program.
