This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of nursing interventions in managing paediatric asthma and its outcomes.
Comprehensive search of multiple databases including PubMed and Scopus.
Identified 35 studies involving over 6394 participants.
Analyzed outcomes such as ED visits, hospitalizations, and quality of life.
Used random-effects models for pooling standardized mean differences and odds ratios.
Nursing interventions significantly reduced emergency department visits (SMD −1.741; OR 0.450).
Significant reduction in hospitalizations (OR 0.378).
Improved quality of life (SMD 1.013) and reduced acute asthma attacks (SMD −2.149).
Enhanced inhaler usage (SMD 1.254) and reductions in daytime (SMD −1.700) and nighttime symptoms (SMD −0.610).
