Summary

Poor adherence and self-management in children with asthma results in poorly controlled asthma and increased morbidity. Pharmacists could take important roles in delivering asthma education to ensure that children can manage their disease. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of improving asthma control, knowledge, and quality of life. An open, randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacist-led digital-based asthma self-management education for children with asthma compared with paper-based asthma self-management education. Recruitment of the participants will be held at the outpatient ward of the Department of Paediatrics in 4 public hospitals in Bali Province, Indonesia, including Sanglah Public Hospital, Denpasar City; Wangaya Public Hospital, Denpasar City; Mangusada Public Hospital, Badung Regency; and Udayana University Hospital, Badung Regency. Participants will be provided with informed consent, then randomly divided into either a control group or an intervention group.

The following will be the hypotheses of the study:

1. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has a better asthma control compared to the control group.
2. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has a greater improvement in asthma quality of life compared to the control group.
3. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has a better understanding of asthma knowledge in general compared to the control group.
4. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has a better performance in practicing inhaler techniques compared to the control group.
5. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has fewer unscheduled visits to the hospital and less hospitalization compared to the control group.
6. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program will be satisfied with the digital asthma education.

BEHAVIORAL

The digital asthma education program

The intervention group receives the digital asthma education program (MIRACLE program). It consists of an asthma interactive narrative, a serious game, and an asthma action plan. It mainly covers asthma self-management and asthma attack prevention, such as asthma definition, asthma triggers and how to prevent asthma triggers exposures, asthma medications, proper inhaler technique, and asthma written action plan.
