Kadın ve daha genç öğretmenlerin astım konusunda daha bilgili olduklarısaptandı.Sonuç: Çocukların okul devamsızlıklarında azalma ve yaşam kalitelerinde artış sağlanması amacıyla öğretmenlerin, astımın nasıl birhastalık olduğunun, etkilerinin ve astımlı bir çocuğun gereksinimlerinin nasıl karşılanacağı konusunda bir eğitim programına alınmasına ihtiyaç duyulduğunu düşünmekteyiz.
