Abstract
Asthma is a chronic disorder with significant impact on individuals, their families and society. Although there is no cure for asthma, appropriate management most often leads to absolute control of the disorder. In this study, assess the knowledge of patients regarding asthma and its line of management and identify the adherence of patients to the line management. And then identify the relationship between selected variables such as age, gender, education, occupation, duration of illness and compliance and noncompliance. At last identify the relationship between the knowledge of patients regarding asthma and their compliance to the prescribed management. In this study various findings suggest that patients are aware about only a few aspects of the disease and in addition to it compliance of the patient to the management of asthma was found to be very low (31.5 percent). It necessary to find the various reasons related to the non compliance to the management of asthma. Financial constraint was found to be the major factor of the non compliance to the management of asthma, besides this there were several factors such as forgetting to take the medicine, feeling better, hence no need to continue medicine and fear of side effects, difficulty in the use of inhaler, also contributing to it. In order to enhance the compliance of the patient to the management of asthma, there is a great need to intensify educational programmes regarding self care management which will help these patients to overcome the constraints that were felt by them in order to maintain compliance.
