title: [Educating the asthmatic patient].
abstract: Education of the asthmatic patient by an appropriate program is an important tool in achieving optimal management. The program should include not only lectures on the physiopathology and treatment of asthma, but also self-management skills through a behavioural approach to the disease. The education program aims to assist the patient in preventing symptoms and coping with asthma attacks.
