Abstract

PurposeThis study tested the efficacy of a nurse-led discharge planning program for childhood asthma management, based on transition theory. MethodsA quasi-experimental design was used. The sample comprised 120 children with asthma and their parents (intervention group n = 60, control group n = 60). FindingsThe asthma management self-efficacy perception level of parents in the intervention group increased significantly and the number of triggers their children were exposed to at home was reduced by 60.8%. The rates of admission to emergency departments and unscheduled outpatient visits were significantly lower in the intervention group compared with the control group. ConclusionsTransition theory-based nursing interventions can provide successful outcomes on childhood asthma management. Practice ImplicationsTransition theory-based discharge planning program can guide nursing interventions to standardize care of the child with asthma. Combining care at home with hospital care strengthens ongoing qualified asthma management.
