Current research has shown that texting caregivers is an effective method for delivering family\u2010centered health education. The aim of this quality improvement project was to implement a short message service (SMS)\u2010based intervention to educate family caregivers of children with asthma and evaluate its effect on caregiver knowledge and confidence in asthma management.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This project employed a pre\u2010posttest design with questionnaires completed at the beginning and conclusion of the intervention. Nineteen caregivers received daily educational messages over a 3\u2010week period.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The intervention resulted in a significant increase in the caregiver asthma knowledge (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.037), but not their confidence (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.604).

As chronically ill children have the best care experience when their parents are well\u2010informed about the disease and able to formulate solutions to manage emerging symptoms, family caregivers benefit as well. The educational messages enrich their asthma knowledge, enabling them to administer medicine promptly and appropriately when their child exhibits symptoms. Early medical attention minimizes the incidence of asthma attacks as well as the demand for emergency room visits, easing the burden on the healthcare providers. Therefore, using text messaging to educate family caregivers of children with asthma may positively affect child, parent, and provider outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jspn.70006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]],"date-time":"2025-02-11T05:56:08Z","timestamp":1739253368000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Use of Text Messaging to Educate Family Caregivers of Children With Asthma"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Chen","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Trinity Medical Healthcare Flushing New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8641-9456","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cynthia","family":"Foronda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Health Studies University of Miami Coral Gables Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karina A.","family":"Gattamorta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Health Studies University of Miami Coral Gables Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Monica R.","family":"Sotolongo Cardenas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Pulmonology University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Miami Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17476348.2021.1864328"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ppul.25851"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(21)01450-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.colegn.2010.04.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
