Samenvatting

Patient education is a treatment modality that is essential to physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals alike. However, the topic of paediatric patient education is still relatively unexplored. This literature review looks into finding the best method of patient education for children with chronic health conditions.

There was moderate evidence to support the patient education programs MyATE for asthma and program made for patients with atopic dermatitis. There was limited evidence to support the ModuS patient education program for children with chronic healthcare conditions. Lastly, there was inconclusive evidence to support a modular education program for children with epilepsy.

The outcome of this literature review is inconclusive. This review has helped in further exploring the topic of paediatric patient education and has created an indication for further research. This further research pertains to the domain of broad spectrum patient education programs that can address a variety of chronic health conditions without the need for memorising various patient education programs for specific health condition.
