Abstract

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases experienced in childhood, but less than 50% of pediatric patients have appropriate treatment adherence to their asthma treatment plan and 40-98% of children with asthma do not use their inhaler correctly (O’Connor et al., 2023). Previous studies have indicated that healthcare education delivered through mobile device applications results in improved knowledge, adherence to medications, and improved clinical care (O’Connor et al., 2023). The purpose of this DNP scholarly project is to design a virtual educational program aimed at adolescent patients diagnosed with asthma to better inform them about the disease, the importance of proper administration of treatment, and begin to increase their responsibility in their care.
