Study of an Asthma Education Program Using Roy Adaptation Model to Improve Psychosocial Adjustment and Quality of Life in Adults

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effect of an education program based on Roys Adaptation Model on how adults with asthma adjust socially and psychologically to their disease and how it affects their quality of life. The study focuses on individuals aged 18 to 64 years who have asthma with partial or uncontrolled symptoms and no other chronic diseases. The goal is to improve patients attitudes and behaviors toward managing asthma through planned and repeated training to empower them during their disease process. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives the asthma education program based on the Roy Adaptation Model alongside their standard asthma treatment, while the other group continues with standard asthma treatment only. This is a single-blind randomized controlled trial designed to compare the outcomes between these two approaches over a 12-week period. During the study, participants will be assessed on their psychosocial adjustment to asthma using the Psychosocial Adjustment To Illness-Self-Report Scale PAIS-SR and their quality of life using the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire AQLQ. These assessments will take place from enrollment through the end of treatment at 12 weeks. The study aims to monitor changes in these outcomes to understand the impact of the education program on managing asthma.
