- W284544310 abstract "The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that nearly 20 million Ame ricans suffer from asthma, 6.3 million of which are children(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2004). It is not merely an annoyance disease, as is commonly believed. Asthma kills. It takes more than 5,000 American lives each year(Asthma Statistics in America, 2004). Asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood, and it is the number one cause of hospitalization and absence from school. African Americans suffer asthma at three times the national rate, and are four times as likely to die from asthma as whites. Asthma in Atlanta’s inner city children has increased to alarming levels in both morbidity and mortality, especially in black and Hispanic populations. Incidence and severity of asthma are inversely related to socioeconomic status. It is a dangerous pulmonary disease, which not only spoils quality of life for asthmatic children and their families, but results in many deaths. An important social haza rd of childhood asthma in children is increased school absenteeism. The CDC estimates that asthma caused fourteen million missed schools days in 2002. Loss in productivity by working parents caring for children missing school due to asthma is estimated at $1 billion per year(Asthma Statistics in America, 2004). Absenteeism from school directly contributes to increased drop-out rates, with lifelong repercussions in earning capacity, health, and quality of life. More important, physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, asthma case managers, and school nurses know very well that beyond the startling statistics lies the personal suffering of many individual children. For children with asthma, the key to survivability and day-to-day participation in a satisfying life is judicious, timely management of the disease. Children with asthma must learn to monitor their breathing condition, avoid and manage environmental asthma triggers, and take prompt, aggressive action when needed. Asthma management includes monitoring symptoms and status, home treatment with medications and therapy, identifying and minimizing environmental asthma triggers, and knowing when and how to seek medical attention. Teaching asthmatic children to monitor and manage their disease is a complex instructional goal that must be accomplished to a high standard. Sensible management reduces hospitalizations, improves the quality of lives for both asthmatic children and their families, saves enormous amounts of money, and saves lives. Preventing a single hospitalization involving need for mechanical ventilation saves many thousands of dollars, and possibly a life. But community education for asthmatics is often not uniform, not timely, and not readily available." @default.
