Effectiveness of Asthma Education Program Based on the Roy Adaptation Model

In addition to the expected physiological effects of asthma on individuals, the course of the disease and the course of the individual's life will change as the duration of living with the disease increases. In order to improve the attitude towards the disease positively in asthmatic individuals, to ensure asthma control and to improve the quality of life by managing the process well, patients' behaviors against the disease should be improved. Regular repetition of trainings created within the framework of a specific plan to improve adaptation behaviors is one of the recommended steps to empower individuals with chronic diseases during the disease process. In this randomized controlled trial, individuals aged 18-64 years with a diagnosis of asthma, an asthma control test (ACT) score of 24-20 (partial control) or ≤19 (uncontrolled) and no secondary chronic disease other than asthma were included.
