Abstract

Background: Education for understanding the disease itself is important in the management of asthma. Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the repeated education for the asthmatic children through various games. Method: A 15 school-aged children with mild-to-moderate asthma who participated in the Soonchunhyang asthma camp were enrolled. We compared each score of the test which consisted of 4 components of asthma (triggers, preventions, treatments and courses). The first test was performed without any education. Thereafter, the second, third and fourth tests were conducted repeatedly with various games. Result: The average score of the first test was 11.93${\pm}$5.20. Meanwhile, the scores of the repeated tests showed gradual improvement; the scores of the second, third and fourth tests were 15.64${\pm}$4.77, 18.06${\pm}$2.96 and 18.6${\pm}$2.47. The score of the second test showed improvement as compared to that of the first test (P<0.01). The score of the third test compared also showed improvement as compared to the second test (P=0.03). Conclusion: The interesting games as a tool for the education of asthma could be helpful in not only understanding the disease itself but also improving the compliance of patients.
