Asthma Education

Asthma education is a key factor in managing this life-threatening disease, and it is critical that health professionals have the ability to effectively communicate important knowledge to patients with asthma. This brief, easy-to-read book is the first ever to promote both an excellent knowledge of asthma and an equally good understanding of effective training techniques and skills. It covers the different approaches to asthma, progressing from an introduction to asthma to asthma management, learning styles, teaching techniques, and program evaluation. Each chapter is logically organized into manageable paragraphs with illustrations, flow charts, tables, and bulleted lists. Checklists, sample forms, patient reading materials, and a glossary are also provided.
