Abstract

Background. Chronic diseases among children, such as asthma, are increasing globally. Asthma is one of the most common chronic illnesses and represents a major global health issue that results in significant morbidity. The purpose of this review is to discuss the effectiveness of education programs on knowledge, medication adherence, asthma management skills, and self-efficacy among children and their parents with asthma. Materials and methods. Database searches were completed in CINAHL, Springer, Science Direct, PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and EBSCOhost. Papers published between 2015 and 2025 were included using keywords such as asthma, child, self-management, self-efficacy, and adherence interventions. A total of 165 records were identified. After removing duplicates and irrelevant studies, 12 papers were included in the final review. Results. The included studies demonstrated significant improvements in asthma knowledge, medication adherence, asthma management skills, and self-efficacy among children and caregivers. Conclusions. Asthma education interventions positively impact outcomes for children with asthma; they still need to build up a unified, evidence-based approach including structured education, accessible action plans, and continuous reinforcement for optimizing asthma control in children.
