Brief summary (registry, in English)
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, and it is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 262 million people were affected by asthma in 2019, with 461,000 asthma-related deaths annually. In Turkey, the prevalence of asthma in children aged 6-12 ranges from 2% to 16%. Inadequate asthma control in children is often associated with poor medication adherence, lack of knowledge, misbeliefs, and ineffective communication with healthcare professionals. Education is therefore a crucial element of successful asthma management. Recently, the use of digital tools such as animated videos has become increasingly popular in pediatric education due to their engaging and interactive nature. Studies have shown that visual and interactive materials can improve knowledge, satisfaction, and adherence in children with chronic illnesses. This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of an educational intervention using an animated video and booklet on asthma control and medication compliance in children aged 7-11 diagnosed with asthma. It is expected that this child-friendly, visually enriched educational approach will enhance asthma management and support medication adherence in children.
