学校开放航空(OAS)计划已被证明可以提高3至5年级哮喘学生的自我管理技能和健康结果。这份报告调查了OAS对学生家长的影响。由于初步研究显示，家长在校本课程中的出勤率很低，因此作者在学校为孩子们举办了六次课程，并给孩子布置了家庭作业，让他们在家中与家长一起完成，向家长传授哮喘知识，并为孩子的自我管理努力建立支持。对1年随访数据的分析表明，参与OAS的儿童是父母自我管理技能的显著预测因子(p<；.03)，OAS儿童的沟通与父母的自我管理能力的相关性比对照组更强(p=.05)。研究结果显示，孩子从学校带回家的健康教育活动可以积极影响父母对哮喘等复杂慢性病的自我管理。
The Open Airways for Schools (OAS) program has been shown to improve the self-management skills and health outcomes of students with asthma in Grades 3 to 5. This report examines the impact of OAS on students' parents. Because pilot studies showed that parental attendance at school-based sessions was low, the authors held six sessions at school for children and gave children homework assignments to complete with parents at home to teach parents about asthma and build support for children's self-management efforts. Analysis of 1-year follow-up data showed that children's participation in OAS was a significant predictor of parental self-management skills (p < .03) and that OAS children's communication was more strongly associated than controls' with parents' self-management (p = .05). The findings show that health education activities brought home from school by children can positively influence parents' self-management of a complex chronic disease such as asthma.
