Summary

The Asthma First Aid Management for School Staff eBook has been developed for the purpose of providing a multimedia self-directed training resource for school staff. The eBook will be accessible to both primary and secondary school staff; it has the advantage over conventional face to face training in that it can be used for learning when convenient, regardless of geographical location. The eBook has been designed to provide school staff with an alternative training option in contrast to a structured time scheduled face to face asthma first aid management training session. The content of the eBook is based on the information from the current Sydney Children's Hospital, Aiming for Asthma Improvement in Children "School Champion Asthma Management Program" (SCAMP) face to face training course.

This study has been designed to determine the effectiveness of the eBook in meeting the asthma first aid management training needs of school staff, prior to its implementation and uploading to the Apple iBook store where it will be freely available to school staff internationally.

The study will involve school staff being randomized into one of the following two training groups:

Group 1 - a three hour face to face School Champion Asthma Management Program training session (Standard training; control group) Group 2 - completion of the self-directed Asthma First Aid Management for School Staff eBook (Technology assisted learning) The school staff will be required to complete pre and post training validated asthma knowledge questionnaires which will measure improvements in knowledge and confidence. In addition, demographic data will be collected.

The researchers hypothesize that the eBook will provide school staff with an alternative mode of training that will effectively increase school staff asthma management knowledge and confidence. We aim to investigate if this training is superior to the current three hour face to face School Champion Asthma Management Program training.
