Co-creating personalised asthma action plans

摘要

To improve asthma management and reduce the number of deaths from the condition, national guidance recommends that patients are offered a written, personalised asthma action plan. The plan should be developed by a health professional working with the patient and using the patient's lived experience of asthma to inform its content. This article discusses the elements of asthma action plans, and how the nursing process can be used as a framework for their development.
