[The effect of the education of bronchial asthma patients on the course of the disease].
In spite of great progress in antiasthmatic therapy, bronchial asthma affects more and more people. More and more patients die of this disease. The authors hold that one of the reasons of incomplete response to BA treatment is unsatisfactory compliance of the patients. To understand their disease and doctor's efforts better, the patients need detailed knowledge of their disease. Now, a great choice of educational programs for asthmatics are available. These vary in the scope of information, form (lecture, seminar, video film, guide, etc.), are intended for groups and individual study. The assessment of the efficacy of such programs show that they are able to reduce the number of hospitalizations, critical episodes, exacerbations. Educational programs are now actively lectured to asthmatics in the Research Institute of Pulmonology and Pediatric Medical Institute in Moscow.
