Nursing strategies and tools to support treatment adherence in adolescents with asthma

Discover our work on treatment adherence among adolescents with asthma, presented at Swiss pediatric and respiratory medicine conferences.

Our Mission

We are three nurses passionate about improving the quality of life of adolescents living with asthma.

Our goal is to promote adolescent-centered care, therapeutic patient education, self-management skills, and the development of innovative nursing practices.

This work received two awards during the graduation ceremony of the Geneva School of Health Sciences (HEdS):

  • HEdS Fund Award
  • Geneva Lung League Award

It will also be published in the journal Soins Pédiatrie/Puériculture, highlighting its relevance for clinical practice and nursing research.
