This study aims to evaluate the effect of multimedia protocol about asthma control on asthmatic children's adaptation in the era of climate changes.
In fact, asthma has evolved into a global public health crisis affecting millions of people worldwide . It is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases, with a substantial burden on individuals, families, healthcare systems, and societies as a whole . Asthma not only leads to missed school and work but can also result in severe health emergencies and even death, especially in children . This burden is on the rise, with millions already affected and projections of millions more to come . Furthermore, the complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors contributing to asthma's development adds to the urgency of addressing this issue . Importantly, the impact of global climate change, with its extreme weather events and increased air pollution, poses an additional threat to asthma sufferers, making it imperative to implement climate change and asthma adaptation measures . The problem's significance is compounded by the vulnerability of children to these environmental changes and the need for innovative strategies like educational multimedia to raise awareness and provide effective interventions. Addressing this multifaceted problem is essential for the well-being of individuals and communities worldwide. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of multimedia protocol about asthma control on asthmatic children's adaptation in the era of climate.
