Brief summary
The aim of the study; to determine the effect of the education program given to individuals diagnosed with asthma based on Roy's adjustment model on their psychosocial adjustment to the disease and their quality of life.
Detailed description
In addition to the expected physiological effects of asthma on individuals, the course of the disease and the course of the individual's life will change as the duration of living with the disease increases. In order to improve the attitude towards the disease positively in asthmatic individuals, to ensure asthma control and to improve the quality of life by managing the process well, patients' behaviors against the disease should be improved. Regular repetition of trainings created within the framework of a specific plan to improve adaptation behaviors is one of the recommended steps to empower individuals with chronic diseases during the disease process. In this randomized controlled trial, individuals aged 18-64 years with a diagnosis of asthma, an asthma control test (ACT) score of 24-20 (partial control) or ≤19 (uncontrolled) and no secondary chronic disease other than asthma were included.

Intervention model description
In this study, stratified sampling based on gender and asthma control test (ACT) was used in this study. \[ACT; 24-20, female\], \[ACT≤19 24-20, female\], \[ACT; 24-20, male\], \[ACT≤19 24-20, male\] to ensure equal distribution in terms of gender and asthma control test in each group, strata were created. First, a scheme was developed to bi-randomize the gender and asthma control tests so that the experimental and control groups were stratified according to gender and asthma control tests. Permutation was also used to ensure a balance between strata. Block sets were created for each combination of prognostic factors (gender and asthma control test). The experimental and control groups were then randomized into strata using a table of random numbers.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of psychosocial adjustment of asthmatic individuals after education with the Psychosocial Adjustment To Illness-Self-Report Scale (PAIS-SR). | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks | Patient Introduction Form This form was prepared by the researcher in line with the literature and consists of 12 questions to determine patient and disease characteristics. Psychosocial Adaptation to Illness-Self-Report Scale (PAIS-SR) Psychosocial Adaptation to Illness-Self-Report Scale (PAIS-SR) The Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness - Self-Report Scale was developed by Derogatis in 1986 to assess psychosocial adjustment to illness. The scale consists of 7 sub-dimensions and a total of 46 questions. Scores that can be obtained from the scale vary between 0 - 138. Scores below 35 indicate good psychosocial adjustment, scores between 35 and 51 indicate moderately good psychosocial adjustment, and scores above 51 indicate poor psychosocial adjustment. In the original version of the scale, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.86. |

| Evaluation of the quality of life of asthmatic individuals after education with the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ). | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks | Patient Introduction Form This form was prepared by the researcher in line with the literature and consists of 12 questions to determine patient and disease characteristics. Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) The Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) is an asthma-specific quality of life scale consisting of 32 questions and 4 subscales developed by Juniper et al. The scale is a 7-point Likert-type scale with 1 representing the lowest and 7 the highest score. The total score of the scale ranges from 32 to 224 and the mean score ranges from 1 to 7. Overall quality of life is calculated by summing and averaging the relevant domain values of all questions and sub-dimensions. An increase in the mean value of the overall and sub-dimensions of the scale increases the quality of life. It was found that the Cronbach alpha coefficients of the sub-dimensions of the scale ranged between 0.81-0.87 |
