Self‐management is crucial for patients with asthma to improve their quality of life. The
role of the nurse is significant as well as the patient's own responsibility for their health.
Nursing interventions are more likely to lead to desired self‐management outcomes by
focusing on the opinions of patients who are intensely involved in their own health.
The purpose of this study was to explore the role of nurses in the self‐management of
patients with asthma from the patient's perspective. The objectives of the study were to
find out how nurses can facilitate and improve self‐management of patients with asthma
and how nurses act in self‐management of patients with asthma from the patients’ point
of view. The third objective was to determine how patients take responsibility for their
own health.
A qualitative approach was applied and a semi‐structured interview used as a data
collection method. The study participants were 20 patients with bronchial asthma. The
data obtained were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results: The role of nurses in the self‐management of patients with bronchial asthma from
the point of view of patients was defined as follows: (a) providing spiritual and
psychological support; (b) improving self‐control; (c) providing practical assistance; (d)
teaching and advising patients on self‐management; and (e) patient taking care of
themselves and taking conscious responsibility for their own health.
Conclusion: According to participants, nurses help patients self‐manage asthma by
providing effective supportive care, support, advice, and training on self‐management
issues. These findings may help us to understand the importance of a stable interaction
between the patient and the nurse at the level of primary health care.
