As chronically ill children have the best care experience when their parents are well-informed about the disease and able to formulate solutions to manage emerging symptoms, family caregivers benefit as well. The educational messages enrich their asthma knowledge, enabling them to administer medicine promptly and appropriately when their child exhibits symptoms. Early medical attention minimizes the incidence of asthma attacks as well as the demand for emergency room visits, easing the burden on the healthcare providers. Therefore, using text messaging to educate family caregivers of children with asthma may positively affect child, parent, and provider outcomes.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":54900,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Specialists in Pediatric Nursing","volume":"30 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jspn.70006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143362551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Semistructured interviews were employed, and the data underwent inductive content analysis. COREQ reporting guidelines were used.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The participants in this study vividly recounted experiencing intense fear and panic during the earthquake. Subsequent challenges emerged from the lack of coordination in aid efforts, struggles to secure shelter and necessities, and the profound loss of relatives. These adversities posed considerable physical and psychological challenges. Notably, the adolescents' ability to reflect on their past lives and reshape their perspectives proved instrumental in facilitating their adaptation to a new life. However, witnessing the demise of loved ones, grappling with the fear of death and loss, and incessantly discussing the earthquake hindered their adjustment.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Practice Implications</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>We found that adolescents experienced the quakes in three phases: in the moment, postquake, and adaptation to new life. The first theme underscores the limitations of current effectiveness of quake training. This finding has important implications for policy to better prepare the adolescent population for quake disasters. The second theme reveals that the communication and coordination problems experienced after the earthquake enable the weaknesses of the system to be noticed and political steps should be taken in this direction. The third theme focuses on the factors that increase or decrease the psychosocial adaptation of adolescents who have experienced this traumatic experience to the new life. This provides important clues to improve and support adolescent health.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":54900,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Specialists in Pediatric Nursing","volume":"29 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141629646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
