Attached is the Health Assessment: Asthma Action Plan
Part Two
Impacts of my asthma plan of ASC students and staff:
The students and staff have to be considerate of the asthmatic and follow all the rules in place for the asthmatic’s safety. The healthcare centre and teacher will have to know about the condition and get educated in the proper precautions and first aid. They will also have to have the plan with them, and understand it. The relevant teacher would have to carefully monitor behavior, intervene where needed and marshal a calm atmosphere to avoid flareups. The students and adults will need to be considerate and accommodating. The staff and students would no longer be permitted to wear or have strong scents on/with them. The cleaners would also have to make sure that the ventilation system is clean and functional. They would also have to make sure that the air conditioning (if there even is any) is clean and equipped with an asthma and allergy friendly filter attachment. The relevant people would also have to be prompt in identifying and fixing unwanted leaks. The pool would also have to be clean and with a working pool system. The staff would have to be careful and keep in mind that the student cannot handle large amounts of very vigorous exercise. The swimming teacher would also have to (maybe) modify their class structure to accommodate, warmups, stretching and cool downs.
If a young person had asthma I would suggest that they seek reliable support and assistance from:
People: For concerns, one can book an appointment with their local general practitioner for further assistance and advice. They will review your asthma plan, answer any questions and measure your breathing.
Your carer is also a vessel that can give you emotional and physical support as they should be educated about your condition.You can also call 1800 278 462 (1800 ASTHMA) to talk to an educator who can answer your questions and provide support for asthmatics and their carers.
Digital Resources: Websites such as asthma.org, asthmawa.org.au or healthline.com can provide comprehensive and reliable information about asthma management. There is a website with linked resources, https://asthma.org.au/what-we-do/how-we-can-help/resources/
There is also an Asthma First Aid App, which, as the name suggests, is an app that provides first aid for emergencies and reviews of the four first aid steps. t is an educational tool, useful for asthmatics, their families and carers.
Kiss My Asthma is another app developed by “young people” for “young people.” It has access to your asthma plan, the ability to track your asthma symptoms, severity and attacks, making it easy to inform your doctor or specialist accurately about your asthma, a mood tracker, a goal setter and assistant that can deliver support, reminders to take your asthma preventative medications, first aid instructions and emergency contacts and resources so you can find out more about asthma, medications/devices and how to manage anxiety. There is also an Air Rater App (https://airrater.org/) that can rate the air quality so you can make informed decisions.
