About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Asthma control in pediatric patients remains a critical issue for healthcare providers. Telemedicine has emerged as an effective solution for overcoming distance barriers in healthcare delivery. This study aims to utilize telemedicine-based education for caregivers to improve asthma control in children with uncontrolled asthma. By providing remote guidance and support, the study seeks to enhance caregivers' knowledge and management practices, ultimately leading to better asthma outcomes for pediatric patients.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Standard careSham treatment, for comparison
The caregivers will receive a video call from the intervention researcher shortly for a health check and a reminder to follow the scheduled appointments.
Treatment: Standard Care (in control arm)
- TelemedicineTreatment being tested
Caregivers in the intervention group will receive a video call from the intervention researcher within 15 minutes. The call will include education on avoiding factors related to uncontrolled asthma, reminders about treatment adherence, and following the scheduled appointments. Caregivers will be shown a visual demonstration of proper inhaler use, and they can ask questions about the video's practical steps at any time during the conversation. Additionally, questions about asthma management will be discussed, and tailored advice will be provided according to each child's condition.
Treatment: Telemedicine-Based Education
