Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the effect of multimedia protocol about asthma control on asthmatic children's adaptation in the era of climate changes.
Detailed description
In fact, asthma has evolved into a global public health crisis affecting millions of people worldwide . It is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases, with a substantial burden on individuals, families, healthcare systems, and societies as a whole . Asthma not only leads to missed school and work but can also result in severe health emergencies and even death, especially in children . This burden is on the rise, with millions already affected and projections of millions more to come . Furthermore, the complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors contributing to asthma's development adds to the urgency of addressing this issue . Importantly, the impact of global climate change, with its extreme weather events and increased air pollution, poses an additional threat to asthma sufferers, making it imperative to implement climate change and asthma adaptation measures . The problem's significance is compounded by the vulnerability of children to these environmental changes and the need for innovative strategies like educational multimedia to raise awareness and provide effective interventions. Addressing this multifaceted problem is essential for the well-being of individuals and communities worldwide. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of multimedia protocol about asthma control on asthmatic children's adaptation in the era of climate.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Child awareness about their Asthma Control in the Era of Climate Changes | baseline (day one) and 2 months later as a follow up for each child | Tool I: A Questionnaire Sheet for Asthmatic Children and their Mothers. This tool will be developed by researcher based on the study aim and after reviewing the related literatures. It will consist of four parts as follows Part One: Sociodemographic Characteristics of Children and their Mothers Part Two: The Child's Clinical Data Part Three: Assessment Questionnaire of Children's Knowledge about Climate Change and their Attitudes Towards Environmental Conservation and Mitigating the Effects of those Changes. This part aims to evaluate asthmatic children's knowledge about climate change and their attitudes towards environmental conservation and mitigating the effects of those changes Part Four: Assessment Questionnaire of Child Knowledge about Bronchial Asthma and their Behaviors for Adaptation to Asthma with the Repercussions of Climate Change. This part aims to evaluate asthmatic children's knowledge about their bronchial asthma and their adaptation behavior related to their asthma |
| Childhood asthma control | baseline (day one) and 2 months later as a follow up for each child | Tool II; Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) A valid test that consists of seven questions which aims to assess asthma control in children 4-11 years old and the effects of asthma on daily functioning. |
| Children adaptation for their Asthma in the Era of Climate Changes | 2 months follow up for each child | Tool III; Asthma Diary Notes Asthma diaries are daily tracking tools that children can use to monitor their symptoms and medication use. this tool aims to follow up children and assess their adaptation for their condition |
