Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (6)
Change in Caregiver's asthma knowledge
The preliminary effect of the intervention in caregiver's asthma knowledge will be assessed via the Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire. The questionnaire is completed by the caregiver and has 17 items with a total score range of 17-85 with a higher score indicating higher asthma knowledge.
Baseline, Week 3
Change in Caregiver's sleep
The preliminary effect of the intervention in caregiver's sleep will be assessed via the Adult Sickle Cell Quality of Life Measurement (ASCQ-Me) Version 2.0 Sleep Impact - Short Form Questionnaire. The questionnaire is completed by the caregiver and has 5 items with each item having a scoring possibility of 1-5. The total score ranges from 5-25 with a higher score indicating better sleep.
Baseline, Week 3
Change in Caregiver's anxiety
The preliminary effect of the intervention in caregiver's anxiety will be assessed via the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QOL ) Anxiety - Short Form Questionnaire. The questionnaire is completed by the caregiver and has 8 items with each item having a scoring possibility of 1-5. The total score ranges from 8-40 with a higher score indicating increased anxiety symptoms.
Baseline, Week 3
Change in Caregiver's depressive symptoms
The preliminary effect of the intervention in caregiver's depressive symptoms will be assessed via the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Emotional Distress - Depression - Short Form 8a Questionnaire. The questionnaire is completed by the caregiver and has 8 items with each item having a scoring possibility of 1-5. The total score ranges from 8-40 with a higher score indicating increased depressive symptoms.
Baseline, Week 3
Performance of DNP students conducting the Teleheath Visits
Performance of the DNP students conducting the telehealth visits will be evaluated by the average score rated by a faculty and a peer for each DNP. Each total score is tallied from 5 performance categories with each category having a scoring possibility of 0-3. The total score ranges from 0-15 with the higher score indicating a better performance.
Week 3
Correlation of DNP student performance with family caregiver outcome
The correlation of the performance of the DNP student providing the intervention will be evaluated against the caregiver's asthma knowledge, sleep, anxiety and depressive symptom outcomes.
Week 3
Study Arms (2)
Virtual Asthma Academy Training + Telehealth Visit Group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive the Asthma Academy Training virtually. One week after the virtual training, participants will be scheduled to complete a Telehealth visit via zoom through their smart phones or computers.
