A Feasibility Study Of Just-In-Time Asthma Self-Management Intervention, Phillip Charles Scruggs
Masters Theses
Quality asthma care requires not only an initial diagnosis, but long term follow up care and education on long term control.

A convenience sample of 36 first-year associate degree nursing students was obtained. The conceptual framework used was Pender's Health Promotion Model. No relationships were found between demographic variables and perceived stress. Results indicated that subjects reported they engaged in health-promoting behaviors more than sometimes and they perceived themselves overall as slightly stressed. A negative correlation between perceived stress and health-promoting …
