Conclusion: In evaluation of the famiMs response to the educational plan I shared with them, feel as though they, like many Of us will take certain aspects Of this plan and disregard others. This was meant as a template for the family to build off of. Education is a constant, and should not be altered or stopped after just one or two occurrences, but built upon. I had the impression that they were great full that I had taken the time to educate them on Asthma, even though this was an educational assignment I felt as though they were actual patients seeking education on Asthma.
The assessment tool took onger to go over than I had anticipated. I had used an overhead projector off my laptop in the form of topics then posed questions based on their understanding of the material. For the most part the family worked as a solid unit, but the smaller children seemed not to know how they were to fit in the dynamic of this situation, and there was little guidance from either MH or DH during this time. I had made note of this issue on more than once.
I was led to believe that they feel the Asthma issue only affects those with the disease, not those without. pointed out several times to the family that this disease ffects everyone in the family, not just those with the disease process. After careful consideration I pointed out a scenario that involved an Asthma attack when neither parent was home and RH or CH was unable to call for help (91 1), come get me (4 houses down), or unable to reach their HHN. This situation, believe finally hit home.
MH and DH are going to continue to learn about Asthma and current evidence-based treatment modalities. Encouragement was given to continue to research medications that could help RH and CH for longer periods of time and those for emergency situations. We discussed climate and other environmental issues(dander, ollen, allergens) that may initiate an Asthma attack and how to prepare for an emergency scenario. After careful analysis, and ethical deliberation, I discussed the services at all three facilities, and how they are and can be affected by them.
