Ali Hakamy.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Asthma is a common heterogeneous chronic respiratory disease that affects write specific design patient’s quality of life. The lack of knowledge and awareness of the importance of disease control are common among asthma patients in Saudi Arabia. Asthma control status using Saudi Initiative for Asthma control test (SINA ACT), in participants who have had been diagnosed previously with asthma was investigated in Jazan region.

Methods: A study among previously diagnosed patients with asthma was conducted from 1st of August 2019 to 30th August 2019, in Jazan shopping malls, Saudi Arabia.

Results: One hundred and sixteen asthmatics patients above age of 12 years were interviewed in this study. Sixty-six (56%) were males and Fifty (44%) were females. The median age was 23 years (interquartile range (IQR) 20 to 35). Based on SINA ACT cut off, 51 (44%) of the asthmatics had uncontrolled asthma. Only 7 (6%) patients had visited pulmonary clinics, but that was out of the Jazan region. None of the participants had undergone pulmonary function test previously, neither had a peak expiratory flowmeter at home.

Conclusions: The findings highlights the need of educational, practical and resources for asthmatic patients in Jazan region. In addition, it showed disappointing lack of pulmonary function testing within Jazan health institutions. And finally, it is strongly recommended that asthmatic should have educational opportunities on the asthma management and control action plan.

Key words: Bronchial Asthma, Asthma control test, Pulmonary function test, Asthma education clinic
