Abstract
Pediatric asthma is one of the nation’s most common and costly diseases in Taiwan. The
severity of asthma and cost of medical care can be managed with appropriate medical
treatment, education, and environmental modification. Non-adherence problems in
children and adolescents with asthma children are as serious as those among adult patients.
This proposal is proposed a 2 stages of study. In the first stage we will conduct an
assessment to identify the current condition of non-adherence in pediatric asthmatic patients.
In the second stage we will conduct a randomized clinical trial of a nurse and physician
designed nursing intervention to be developed from the data gathered in the first stage of this
study. Then, a randomized clinical trail will be conducted to administer patients to either
Advice group or Advice plus Counseling group interventions at baseline, 1-, 3-, 6-, and
12-month followed. Patients will be assessed the effectiveness of two groups (Advice,
Advice plus Counseling) at 4 time points (at 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-months) for treatment
adherence behaviors in a primary care medical settings. Data collected in Stage I study will
be served as the Control group.
