Asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood. Its
incidence is the highest in primary school children and it is the
principal cause of school absenteeism. Prevalence of childhood
asthma in India is increasing day by day. It is important for
teachers and staff to be aware of the symptoms, triggers and the
management of asthma in the school environment. School teacher
could be a useful source of health information for students, but
they themselves would have to possess adequate and accurate
knowledge regarding asthma. The study revealed that the existing
knowledge of teachers on asthma among school children is moderate
but practices are very low. The enhancement in both knowledge and
practice is very much required. This research study is useful to
read by health personnel's, teachers, doctors, nurses and school
administrators, health administrators, persons involved in care of
sick children for gaining the knowledge on issue and better
handling & management of children with asthma.
