Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Technology-based Program Delivered by Peer-led and Adult Educators to Adolescents Diagnosed With Asthma
The research was planned in a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of technology-based education provided by peers and adults to children diagnosed with asthma in the 12-18 age group. The study will be conducted in two phases. The initial phase will assess the efficacy of the training provided to peer mentors. The subsequent phase will examine the impact of peer-led and adult-delivered technology-based education on quality of life, asthma control, asthma knowledge, and self-efficacy in adolescents diagnosed with asthma. The required institutional permission and ethics committee approval was received. The study group of the study will consist of 45 adolescents (intervention group 1 \[n=15\], intervention group 2 \[n=15\], and control group \[n=15\]). Data will be collected by using the descriptive features form, the Adolescent Asthma Self-Efficiacy Questionaire, the Asthma Quality of Life Scale for Children, the Asthma Control Test, the Asthma Knowledge Test.The data will be analyzed using the SPSS 27 program.
