MethodsA quasi-experimental design was used. The sample comprised 120 children with asthma and their parents (intervention group n = 60, control group n = 60). FindingsThe asthma management self-efficacy perception level of parents in the intervention group increased significantly and the number of triggers their children were exposed to at home was reduced by 60.8%. The rates of admission to emergency departments and unscheduled outpatient visits were significantly lower in the intervention group compared with the control group. ConclusionsTransition theory-based nursing interventions can provide successful outcomes on childhood asthma management. Practice ImplicationsTransition theory-based discharge planning program can guide nursing interventions to standardize care of the child with asthma. Combining care at home with hospital care strengthens ongoing qualified asthma management.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAsthmaChildDischarge PlanningTheoryEducation-ProgramFollow-UpChildrenHomeCareQualityTrialNurseArticle2-s2.0-8496357480010.1111/2047-3095.1207778225644375Q27027Q3WOS:000374648100004
