Bronchial asthma is the most common chronic illness encountered in day to day practice. In spite of a sound knowledge of its pathogenesis and availability of proper medications patient adherence to Asthma medications does not exceed fifty percent. A variety of patients, healthcare provider education programs have been conducted but none has been ideal and probably each centre or practicing pediatrician needs to develop his own education program as there is none which is ideal.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the number and type of asthma patient education programs throughout Canada.DESIGN: National survey.SETTING: Canada.METHODS: Over a three-year period, contact was made with individuals and groups offering educational services for patients with asthma. Education given as part of a physician's consultation or a pharmacist's dispensing of medications for asthma was not considered a patient education program for the purposes of the survey. Contact was initially established by asking staff from well known asthma programs to provide lists of other such programs in their provinces or regions. Asthma programs were also identified from notices presented at Canada's Third and Fourth National Conferences on Asthma and Education. Lung associations, lay organizations and industry representatives affiliated with the Canadian Network for Asthma Care helped to supplement the list. Once identified, each patient education program was contacted by telephone and by mail to complete a 26-item questionnaire about their program. The province of Quebec was not included in the survey because it already had a province-wide, structured asthma education program and register.RESULTS: Seventy-four asthma education and management programs were identified outside Quebec. Staff in these programs were registered nurses (n=46), respiratory therapists (n=48) and other health professionals (n=21). Forty-one programs stated that at least one member of their staff had been trained as an asthma educator. In 71 programs, the initial patient encounter was of at least one hour's duration. Physician referral was required by 41 programs. The province of Quebec has a joint asthma education program provided by 114 asthma education centres throughout the province under the umbrella of the Quebec Asthma Education Network (QAEN). This comprehensive program is provided in hospitals and community centres by specialized educators - nurses, pharmacists or respiratory therapists - to patients referred by their physicians.CONCLUSIONS: A three-year search for asthma education programs in Canada identified 74 patient education programs (outside Quebec) for an asthma population estimated to exceed 1.2 million. For the province of Quebec, an integrated asthma education program is provided through a network of 114 education centres - the QAEN. The present survey shows that there has been progress in establishing asthma education programs in Canada, although there are significant regional differences in the availability of such programs.

AbstractObjectivesFor young people (YP) with a chronic condition growing up is a challenging process. This stage of life is associated with a higher risk for non-adherence, insufficient disease control, acute deteriorations and irregular consultations. Patient education programs can support YP cope with the independent disease management and the transition into adulthood. However, there is a lack of transition-oriented patient education programs for most chronic conditions. In this study, an existing generic transition-oriented education program was expanded by a module for parents and evaluated in a multicenter study all over Germany.MethodsYP with chronic conditions and their parents were quasi-randomized into a control group (CG) and an intervention group (IG). The IG took part in the 1.5-day standardized education program ModuS-T while the CG received treatment as usual. The education program was designed as a compact workshop in a group setting for youth (15–24 years) and their parents. The education program contained youth specific topics such as the transfer to adult care, the influence of disease on the daily life of YP, and other important issues like detachment from parents, occupational career, intimate relationships and family planning. The parent module dealt with the topics transition from child-centered to adult health services, and supporting children to become adults. The program focused on improving competencies relevant for transition and self-management skills of the families. Satisfaction with the program, transition-specific knowledge, transition competencies, patient activation and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were measured at baseline and after 4 weeks.ResultsA total of 300 YP (overall mean age 17.6 years; 47% female; IG = 166, CG = 134) with 12 different conditions and their parents participated in 37 transition programs. The participants were highly satisfied with the program. The program significantly affected transition-specific knowledge, transition competence and patient activation (p < 0.001). There were no effects on HRQoL.ConclusionThe generic transition-oriented education program empowers YP with chronic conditions and their parents in the transition process. Due to a modular approach, the program is successful in a variety of chronic conditions.

Further Development

Contextual factors have received increased attention in understanding the challenges and difficulties in translating career education and career guidance services from Western societies to non-Western societies, many of which are undertaking a shift from a socialist and collectivistic system to a more individualistic one. In this article, using China as an example, we discussed the contextual factors in different ecological systems, such as economical, educational, and sociocultural, and how they may facilitate or impede youth career education in a transitioning society. We reviewed a career education program in a Chinese senior middle school to illustrate such impacts. Additionally, we proposed strategies for further development of youth career education in China as well as in other countries with similar transitions. We introduced a framework of a diversified concept of career and several context-resonant career development theories to be considered in guiding youth career education programs in these transitioning societies.
