What this trial studies
This research evaluates the effectiveness of a technology-based education program delivered by peers and adults to adolescents aged 12-18 diagnosed with asthma. The study is conducted in two phases: the first phase assesses the training efficacy of peer mentors, while the second phase examines the impact of peer-led and adult-delivered education on various outcomes such as quality of life, asthma control, and self-efficacy. A total of 45 adolescents will participate, divided into intervention and control groups, with data collected through validated questionnaires.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adolescents aged 12-18 diagnosed with asthma for at least three months, who have access to technology and are proficient in Turkish.
Not a fit: Patients with other chronic diseases or those unable to participate in the internet-based application may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve asthma management and quality of life for adolescents.
How similar studies have performed: Similar studies have shown promise in using peer support for chronic illness management, indicating potential for success in this approach.
