Trial of Asthma Self-Management Education in Patients With Depressive Symptoms

NCT01708070 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 66

Last updated 2016-09-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Although depressive and anxious symptoms are common in asthma patients and are associated with worse clinical and resource utilization outcomes, there have been no studies focusing on the particular challenges of improving asthma self-management in this population. The investigators hypothesize that a tailored intervention to improve asthma self-management in patients with a known history of depressive and anxious symptoms will be effective in improving asthma-related quality of life.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Asthma self-management

Patients in the intervention group will receive an asthma workbook, will make a contract to adopt behaviors they think will improve asthma, will be taught how to use a peak flow meter and specific chapters of the workbook will be used as templates for focused instruction during telephone follow-ups which will occur every week for 8 weeks and then approximately every 2 months.
