The study found a relatively high prevalence of good asthma self-care practices among participants. Key factors positively associated with these practices included the absence of comorbidities, non-consumption of alcohol and tobacco and strong social support. It is recommended that public hospitals and healthcare management implement strategies to promote behavioural changes and enhance self-care education aimed at reducing asthma exacerbation triggers.
