Abstract The aim of the study was to examine the characteristics of asthma education programs within NSW. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey concerning the aims and characteristics of 42 asthma education programs was administered to members of the Asthma Educators Association (AEA) of NSW. While most programs sought to improve asthma knowledge (78%), only a small number sought to improve asthma management skills (38%), asthma control (33%) and attitudes (10%). Most programs performed one-to-one (69%) education. Medical intervention was under-utilized by most programs and only 4% gave feedback to the referring doctor. Program evaluation was incompletely linked to program aims. There was incomplete evaluation of knowledge gain as an outcome. The study reviewed the characteristics of education programs within NSW. Existing programs appropriately employ a variety of educational methods and target a broad range of people with asthma. There remains a need to use a combined approach utilizing education and medical management, and to employ methods to evaluate programs.

新南威尔士州哮喘教育项目的特点

摘要本研究的目的是研究新南威尔士州哮喘教育项目的特点。对新南威尔士州哮喘教育者协会(AEA)的成员进行了一项关于42个哮喘教育项目的目标和特点的横断面问卷调查。虽然大多数项目旨在提高哮喘知识(78%)，但只有少数项目旨在提高哮喘管理技能(38%)、哮喘控制(33%)和态度(10%)。大多数项目实行一对一(69%)教育。大多数项目没有充分利用医疗干预，只有4%的项目向转诊医生提供了反馈。项目评估与项目目标没有完全联系起来。对知识获得作为结果的评估不完整。该研究回顾了新南威尔士州教育项目的特点。现有的项目适当地采用各种教育方法，并针对广泛的哮喘患者。仍然需要采用综合的方法，利用教育和医疗管理，并采用方法来评估方案。
