Abstract
This study aims to assess nurses' knowledge regarding asthmatic attacks in children at pediatric teaching hospitals. Asthma is a common chronic respiratory condition in children, and timely and appropriate management of asthmatic attacks is crucial to prevent complications and promote optimal health outcomes. Assessing nurses' knowledge in this area can identify areas for improvement and guide targeted educational interventions. The study utilized a cross-sectional design, collecting data through a questionnaire specifically developed to assess nurses' knowledge of asthmatic attacks in children. The sample consisted of nurses working in pediatric teaching hospitals. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and inferential tests to examine potential relationships between demographic variables and nurses' knowledge.
