Abstract: This study investigates the impact of respiratory therapy education on patient self-management in asthma, focusing on how educational interventions influence patient behaviors and outcomes. We conducted a mixed-methods research with a quantitative component assessing changes in asthma control, medication adherence, and self-management behaviors before and after participation in the education program. Additionally, qualitative interviews were performed to gain deeper insights into patients' experiences and perceptions. The results demonstrated significant improvements in asthma control, with increased adherence to medication and better self-management practices among participants. Qualitative findings revealed enhanced understanding of asthma management, improved inhaler technique, and better awareness of triggers, though some barriers and challenges were noted. These findings underscore the effectiveness of structured educational interventions in improving patient outcomes and highlight the need for ongoing support to address implementation challenges.

Keywords: Asthma management, Respiratory therapy education, Patient self-management, Medication adherence, Asthma control, Educational interventions.
