The caregivers will receive a video call from the intervention researcher shortly for a health check and a reminder to follow the scheduled appointments.
Experimental: Telemedicine
Caregivers in the intervention group will receive a video call from the intervention researcher within 15 minutes. The call will include education on avoiding factors related to uncontrolled asthma, reminders about treatment adherence, and following the scheduled appointments. Caregivers will be shown a visual demonstration of proper inhaler use, and they can ask questions about the video's practical steps at any time during the conversation. Additionally, questions about asthma management will be discussed, and tailored advice will be provided according to each child's condition.
