ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the effects of multimedia combined with health education manual on ACT score, family knowledge and compliance with standard treatment for children with bronchial asthma. Methods The clinical data of 82 children with bronchial asthma who had received treatment in the hospital between October 2017 and March 2018 were randomly selected, among which the children who had received treatment between October 2017 and December 2017 were set as the control group (n=41) and those who had received treatment between January 2018 and March 2018 as the study group (n=41). Oral health education was applied in the control group, whereas multimedia combined with health education manual were given to the study group. The clinical application effects in the two groups were compared. Results The scores of ACT (Asthma Control Test), Initiative Clause Sociale (ICS), and satisfaction degree in the study group were 23.30±3.74, 11.10±2.20, 95.08±3.33, significantly higher than 18.23±2.62, 6.69±2.12, 72.11±3.24 in the control group (t=7.109, 9.243, 31.656, P<0.01). The family mastery of knowledge in the control group was 73.13% (30/41), lower than that in the study group, which was 95.12% (39/41) (χ2=7.405, P<0.05). The rate of complete compliance with treatment accounted for 87.80% (36/41) in the study group, higher than 60.98% (25/41) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=7.746, P<0.05). Conclusion For children with bronchial asthma, the combination of multimedia and health education manual intervention can help increase the knowledge and asthma control ability of their parents, as well as their compliance with treatment.
