Abstract:
AIM:Asthma is prevalent in our primary (elementary) school population. Training in asthma management for school staff should be relevant and focused on the recognition and management of an acute severe exacerbation of asthma. Evidence suggests that online training can be as effective as face-to-face training for medical education; however, there is little information regarding the effectiveness of online asthma education. METHODS:University students in the final year of their primary education degree completed the asthma first aid (AFA) knowledge questionnaire before undertaking a 1-h online training course in asthma management. After 3 weeks, participants underwent a second AFA knowledge questionnaire followed by an AFA scenario-based skills assessment. This skills assessment required the student to describe and demonstrate how they would manage a child having a severe exacerbation of asthma using the AFA equipment provided. Skills scores were further analysed to establish AFA competency. RESULTS:AFA knowledge scores improved significantly after the asthma online training (64-79%), z = -6.11 (P < 0.001). The mean AFA skills score after the training was 20.5 (79%); however, the proportion of students who achieved a level of competency sufficient to save the life of a child having a severe exacerbation of asthma was only 29%. CONCLUSION:This research has revealed that online asthma management training was effective in increasing the knowledge needed for AFA. This knowledge did not translate into effective AFA skills, with only 29% of participants deemed competent to save the life of a child in an asthma emergency.
