This was quasi-experimental research to compare the abilities of caregivers of children with asthma between the experimental group and the control group in terms of 1) knowledge; 2) practice; and 3) management of children with asthma, before and after taking a capability development program at Sunpasitthiprasong Hospital.
The sample consisted of 92 caregivers of children with asthma (parents or caregivers who had been caring for the child for at least one year or more) who had come in to receive care at the Pediatric Pulmonary Disease Clinic of Sunpasitthiprasong Hospital 2 or more times, out of which 46 were selected by purposive sampling, and they were divided into 2 groups: the comparative group (23) who took the program, and the experimental group (23). The research instruments included 1) a capability development program about management of children with asthma for caregivers and 2) an evaluation form to assess the caregiver’s abilities. The content validity was assessed by 5 experts and the instruments received CVI scores of 1 and 0.94 and a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.82. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test.
The results showed that 1) The caregivers before participating in the program, the comparative group had the average percentage scores of knowledge 3.62, practice 4.31 and management 3.93 and the experimental group had the average percentage scores of knowledge 3.94, practice 4.18 and management 4.28. The two groups were not significant different. 2) Before and after participating in the program, the experimental group had the average percentage scores of knowledge 4.48, practice 4.57 and management 4.44, differed to a statistically significant degree at p-value < .05.
