| Abstract: | Having a bad asthmatic symptom perception, e.g. mismatching perceived symptoms with objectified lung function, results in under- or overestimation of symptom severity, what can lead to overmedication and hospitalization, emergency department visits and asthma attacks. The aim of this study is to investigate whether giving individual feedback to asthmatic children about their asthmatic symptom perception results in a better perception.In this prospective intervention pilot study, children whose perception possibly could be improved were included and received five sessions of feedback on their home-monitored perception measurements for at least six weeks. The Perception Rainbow was designed during this study as a tool to measure the perception, consisting of the FEV1 and a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Five participants contributed in this study and in all five participants, at the and of the study, the asthmatic symptom perception was improved with the largest improvement between week 1 and 2. |
