Self-management practice and associated factors among asthmatic patients on follow-up care at public tertiary hospitals, south west, Ethiopia, 2022
The finding revealed that four of every nine asthmatic patients had good asthma self-management practices. Age, alcohol consumption, smoking, anxiety, depression, and social support were significantly associated with asthma self-management practice. Ongoing self-management support and collaborative target interventions aimed at improving asthma self-management practices and identified factors are very crucial.
