N2 - In this study, the authors assessed the knowledge of healthcare providers regarding asthma care, examined the outcomes of continuing education for asthma care, and explored the relationships among demographic characteristics of the healthcare providers and the improvement in asthma care knowledge. Thirty-one pediatricians and 38 nurses in the pediatric units of a medical center completed a questionnaire before and after an asthma care program. Pediatricians and pediatric nurses provided correct answers to asthma care questions 84.45% and 61.97% of the time, respectively, before the program and 93.06% and 88.03% of the time, respectively, after the program, which was a significant improvement (p < .001). No significant correlations or differences were found between the changes in asthma care knowledge and the demographic characteristics of healthcare providers. Results from this study suggest that continuing education can improve the knowledge of asthma care among pediatric healthcare providers.
