PurposeThe purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of delivering an intervention that combines healthy lifestyle behaviors related to weight management with asthma self‐management, the Living Healthy with Asthma intervention, to children who have asthma.Methods and DesignUsing a mixed design, the feasibility study of the 12‐weekLiving Healthy with Asthmaintervention was conducted with a single group of children diagnosed with asthma. Pretest and posttest data were collected on asthma‐related (self‐management, metered dose inhaler [MDI] skill, asthma severity, quality of life [QOL]), and healthy lifestyle variables (body mass index [BMI], dietary quality). A matched comparison sample was drawn from a separate study that tested the same asthma self‐management component (single intervention) used in the feasibility study to determine if the Living Healthy with Asthma intervention worked as well as the single intervention for improving children's asthma self‐management.ResultsThirteen school‐aged children were enrolled in the feasibility study. There were significant reductions in BMIz‐scores (P= 0.007), and improvements in vegetable servings (P= 0.03), MDI skill (P= 0.005), children's QOL (P< 0.001), and parents’ QOL (P= 0.03). When comparing the feasibility group with the matched comparison group (n= 13), there were no significant differences in asthma self‐management, MDI skill, or asthma severity after the interventions.Practice ImplicationsFindings supported the feasibility of implementing the combined intervention, and it was not inferior to the single intervention—which supports nurses’ efforts to help families manage multiple health problems.
