Importância da elaboração de um guia de orientações acerca da asma e a utilização dos diferentes tipos de dispositivos inalatórios como material educativo em saúde

Abstract

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that mainly affects children and adolescents worldwide. Health education is one of the essential guidelines for adherence to treatment and disease control. In this sense, the construction of a guide with guidelines on asthma and inhalation devices serves as an educational tool to improve the quality of life and health promotion of asthmatic patients. The method used was based on methodological research, applicable to the construction of new instruments, through the investigation and interpretation of data based on information about asthma and inhalation devices, which took place in two stages. In the first, an integrative review of the literature was carried out, in the second stage, data and guidelines on asthma were collected and, after unification, the educational guide was built on the graphic design platform Canva.Thirty-two articles were selected that addressed the topic and evidenced the use of educational materials as intervention tools in asthma education. The guidelines guide presents updated and relevant scientific knowledge, using visual resources and accessible language to help support individual care that supports health education
