Asthma Exacerbations
Conditions
Brief summary
Randomize controlled, parallel, double-blind, with two arms, which purpose is verify the nursing educational intervention effects to reduce asthma severity symptoms in older adults.
Detailed description
Climate change is a global concern with far, impacting numerous aspects of human health and well-being especially asthmatic older adults. So that the aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of dry eyes and effectiveness of nursing interventions for reducing climate changes effects on symptoms severity and physical capacity among asthmatic older adults through education to reduce climate effects compared to control group who receive asthma drugs only. This study is a randomize control trail to determine the best care for reducing the severity of symptoms and improve physical capacity from the period from 1/11/ 2024 until 30/4/ 2025. The expected result is decreasing severity of asthma and improve physical capacity.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| asthma severity | thee month | Education intervention for asthma prevention. self-management practices and adaptation behaviors: rinsing the nose with salty water, inhalation of steam, proper technique of using inhalers, breathing and Aerobic exercises. Lara Asthma Symptom Scale was used total score between 8 and 40, where higher scores indicate more severe asthma symptoms. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| physical activity level among participants | three month | Education intervention to improv physical capacity. self-management practices and adaptation behaviors: rinsing the nose with salty water, inhalation of steam, proper technique of using inhalers, breathing and Aerobic exercises. International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form adopted is a self-reported tool, in which physical activity grades over the previous seven days were explored and conveyed in metabolic equivalents. The scores for diverse activities were then collected to develop the overall MET-min/week. The physical activity (PA) level was divided into three categories: low (less than 600 MET/min/week), moderate (more than 600 MET/min/week), and high (more than 3000 MET/min/week). |
