Barriers and facilitators to asthma care after hospitalization as reported by caregivers, health providers, and school nurses.
This study focused on developing a comprehensive understanding of asthma care after hospitalization of children as reported by caregivers, health providers, and school nurses. The children had a median age of 7 years, mean hospital length of stay of 1.9 days, and 56% had a previous hospitalization in the last 12 months. Family caregivers and health professionals were given individual interviews while focus groups were conducted with school nurses. There were different health beliefs about asthma knowledge between caregivers and health professionals. School nurses highlighted specific barriers that focused on medication use in schools.
