Filter by:Introduction Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the respiratory airways and is considered a Public Health problem, which lacks a personalized multidisciplinary intervention, to allow the user to develop mastery in the self-management of his disease. The project intends to answer the question: What methods could be used to enhance the use of asthma controller therapy? Methods Randomized and controlled clinical trial. The sample consists of users with asthma at Family Health Units in the municipality of Oliveira de Azeméis. There will be an experimental group that will undergo structured rehabilitation nursing consultations, and a control group that will receive the usual nursing care appropriate for asthma management. Both groups will be subject to two evaluation moments with the CARAT test and the AQLQ-M questionnaire. Results The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for people with asthma implemented within the framework of a structured rehabilitation nursing consultation. The investigators expected to observe a clinically significant improvement with regard to disease control, quality of life, and user empowerment.
