项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airway, affecting more than 20 million Americans. Without proper management it can be life-threatening, yet many adults with persistent asthma are unwilling or unable to implement medication and environmental regimens that can keep their asthma under control. Identified barriers to effective management include; lack of knowledge about asthma and treatment options, fear of addiction to and side effects of medications; and poor communication skills with healthcare providers. Interventions that improve compliance and self-management can reduce hospitalizations, medical costs, missed work days and improve quality of life. The goal of this proposal is to create an interactive Internet/CD-ROM program for adults aged 18 and older with asthma to build their asthma self-management skills. This behaviorally based program will emphasize improving compliance with health care provider regimens by increasing: 1) knowledge regarding asthma and proper use of medications, 2) motivation to use prevention methods effectively, 3) self-efficacy in managing asthma, and 4) communication skill-building with health care providers. Content will be based on clinical practice guidelines (NHLBI) and will include: 1) understanding asthma, 2) improving compliance with treatment guidelines, and 3) communicating with healthcare providers. Asthma is a potentially life-threatening inflammatory disease of the airway, affecting more than 20 million Americans, but many adults with asthma have difficulty implementing the strategies to control their disease. This project will create a behaviorally based program to help asthma sufferers understand and adhere to self management strategies, in an effort to improve their quality of life and reduce hospitalizations, medical costs, missed work days.

描述（由申请人提供）：哮喘是气道的一种慢性炎症性疾病，影响了超过2000万美国人。如果没有适当的管理，它可能会危及生命，但是许多持续性哮喘的成年人不愿或无法实施可以控制哮喘的药物和环境方案。确定有效管理的障碍包括；缺乏对哮喘和治疗选择的知识，对药物成瘾的恐惧和副作用；与医疗保健提供者的沟通能力差。改善合规性和自我管理的干预措施可以减少住院，医疗费用，失业日并改善生活质量。该提案的目的是为18岁及以上的成年人哮喘创建一个互动互联网/CD-ROM计划，以建立他们的哮喘自我管理技能。该基于行为的计划将通过增加：1）有关哮喘和适当使用药物的知识来提高对医疗保健提供者方案的依从性，2）有效地使用预防方法，3）3）管理哮喘中的自我效能； 4）4） - 与医疗保健提供者建立。内容将基于临床实践指南（NHLBI），其中包括：1）理解哮喘，2）提高对治疗指南的遵守情况，以及3）与医疗保健提供者进行沟通。哮喘是一种潜在的危及生命的气道炎症性疾病，影响了超过2000万美国人，但许多哮喘的成年人很难实施控制其疾病的策略。该项目将创建一个基于行为的计划，以帮助哮喘患者理解并遵守自我管理策略，以改善其生活质量并减少住院，医疗费用，失业日。
