Abstract
This study used a two-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental research design that aimed to investigate the effects of an interactive information program on caregiver’s perceived self-efficacy, caring behaviors and asthma control of children with asthma aged 3-5 years. The sample consisted of 26 caregivers of children with asthma aged 3-5 years which was selected by purposive sampling from the pediatric respiratory care clinic in Khon Kaen Hospital. Thirteen subjects in the control group received usual care, while 13 subjects in the experimental group received the interactive information program. During weeks 2 and 3, interactive information was given twice for 30-45 minutes via video call to develop skills in assessing and caring for children with asthma. Daily caregiver’s performance of expected behaviors was monitored, questions were answered, and positive reinforcement was provided via video call. Data were collected before and 4 weeks after program implementation by using Caregivers’ Perceived Self-Efficacy Assessment Scales (CVI=1; Cronbach’s alpha=.90), Caregivers’ Care Behaviors Assessment Scales (CVI=1; Cronbach’s alpha=.74) and Asthma Control Level of Children Assessment Scales (Global Initiative for Asthma: GINA 2018). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Fisher’s exact test and t-test. The results showed that the caregivers’ perceived self-efficacy and caring behaviors in the experimental group at week 4 after program implementation were significantly higher than caregivers in the control group (p .05), and were significantly higher than those before attending the program (p .05). Asthma control level of children with asthma aged 3-5 years between these two groups was no statistically significant (p .05). The results suggest that the interactive information program can be used to promote caregivers’ perceived self-efficacy and behaviors in caring for children with asthma aged 3-5 years. The results can serve as preliminary data for nurses to promote asthma management interventions via video calls to caregivers and their children with asthma.
