The World Health Organization states that approximately 339 million individuals worldwide have asthma and more than 400 thousand deaths occur due to asthma every year.With effective and sustainable asthma management, it is possible to reduce disease-related complaints, admissions to emergency units and hospitalizations, limit the physiological and psychological effects of the disease, prevent dependence on healthcare professionals and caregivers, increase the quality of life and reduce the mortality of the disease. Patient education, which is within the educational role of professional nurses, is very important in asthma management. The research was planned in a single-center, randomized control group pretest-posttest design. The sample will consist of individuals who applied to the Allergy and Immunology clinic of Sureyyapasa Chest Diseases and Surgery Training and Research Hospital between May 2024 and January 2024, who have been diagnosed with asthma for at least one year and who accept the study \[25 intervention group - 25 control group\]. Groups will be determined using the random numbers table from the simple random sampling method. A web-based asthma education module will be created in line with the literature, and participants in the intervention group will be given synchronous training in 5 modules. After meeting the individuals in the intervention and control groups and obtaining verbal and written consent, they will be asked to fill out the Patient Information Form, Patient Empowerment Scale and Asthma Control Test prepared via Google Forms. A 30-minute training session will be given to the intervention group every week and there will be short evaluations after each training. When the 5th Module is completed, the intervention group will be asked to fill out the Patient Empowerment Scale and Asthma Control Test Scale. No intervention will be applied to the control group. 5. At the end of the module, the Patient Empowerment Scale and Asthma Control Test will be completed by individuals in the control group. It is thought that web-based asthma education that individuals will receive will positively affect their empowerment levels and increase their disease control., conditionsModule conditions: Asthma, conditions: Patient Empowerment, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: The research was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study with a pretest-posttest design., primaryPurpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE, maskingInfo masking: NONE, enrollmentInfo count: 50, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: web based education, interventions name: Standard education brochure, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: patient empowerment scale (PES), secondaryOutcomes measure: Asthma Control Test (ACT), eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 65 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Sureyyapasa Chest Diseases and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital, city: Istanbul, zip: 34854, country: Turkey, geoPoint lat: 41.01384, lon: 28.94966, hasResults: False
