Participantsincluded twenty caregivers of children with uncontrolledasthma seen at the Pediatric Respiratory Clinic ofSrinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University and KhonKaen Hospital, Khon Kaen, Thailand, respectively.Data were collected before and after 5 weeks ofintervention, given between September 2008 andFebruary 2009, using two questionnaires; viz.,self-efficacy of the caregiver caring for asthmatic children and the caring behavior of caregivers ofasthmatic children.  The reliability was 0.94 and 0.86,respectively.  The paired t-test and Wilcoxon signedranks test were used to analyze the data.The results showed that after developingself-efficacy: (1) the mean score for self-efficacy ofcaregivers of asthmatic children was slightly higher,albeit not significantly (p-value = 0.165) (95%CI:-0.16 to 0.46); (2) the mean score for behavior ofcaregivers of asthmatic children was significantly higher(p-value = 0.007); and, (3) the percentage of childrenwith controlled asthma was increased.In summary, after the development ofself-efficacy among caregivers, self-efficacy was onlyslightly increased; however, the caring behaviors ofthe asthmatic child him/herself and the childûs healthwere significantly improved; namely, (1) the behaviorfor protecting oneself from asthmatic attack; (2)medicine administration; and, (3) caring for the childduring an acute asthmatic attack. This protocol shouldbe considered as a guideline for caregivers of asthmaticchildren in various settings, and be adapted by nursinginnovation into many forms. Future study shouldconsider disease progression and the longitudinalappropriateness of caregiversû behavior.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Nursing Science and Health}, author={ศรีสุทธิกมล สุรีพร and สุ่มเล็ก สุพรรณี}, year={2012}, month={Mar.}, pages={58–66} }
