Scientific titleEnhancing self-regulation skills in teenagers with severe asthma through a nurse-led intervention: a randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesAsthma is prevalent amongst teenagers and often causes significant morbidity. In a small number with severe asthma, who often have many psycho-social risk factors, there is high health care utilisation reflected particularly in frequent hospital admissions. Such teenagers present a challenge because they often do not respond to conventional medical approaches. A randomised controlled trial of the impact of a small group educational intervention, led by a nurse-educator, designed to promote asthma self-regulatory skills in teenagers will be undertaken.

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAsthma
InterventionThe group work will be based on a specially developed asthma workbook and will focus on the key skills of asthma prevention and attack management, and social skill training in areas important to asthma management in teenagers.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

The success of the programme will be judged by its ability to reduce subsequent health care utilisation. If successful, such an approach could have considerable impact on a high risk group and would be easily adaptable for general introduction.
