INTRODUCTION
Asthma is defined as the condition in which the airways narrow and swells and may
create the condition of extra mucus. If this condition is persisted for the longer period, it creates
the difficulty in breathing and trigger the coughing and squeezing out the breath. In this, it
creates the condition of shortness of breath for the meaning of people asthma is a minor nuisance
(Alberts et. al., 2020). In this report, the major discussion is based on the customers and their
prevention plan for the children in Australia. As per the current situation, there are various
populations which is associated with the children are facing the issues of asthma. In this, the
intervention plan is created by using the health promotion model in order to reduce the
implications and causes of asthma in children (Chin & Mansori 2019).
BACKGROUND
Asthma refers to a common respiratory condition which is characterized by chronic
inflammation of airways. It creates shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing due to
narrowing of airways. In Australia, asthma is a leading cause of disease for children. However,
there is slow death of children from asthma. It has not been identifying the cause of asthma in
Australia. Due to wide range factor that trigger asthma these may include an exposure to a
specific allergens, viral infection, exercise, irritant, exposed to chemical or food additives or
genetic factors. Children are generally exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke within household
or through maternal smoking during pregnancy. It has been identified that prevalence of asthma
is greater among children living in smoker’s household. There is a high risk of developing
asthma due to number of a smoker in home (Harris 2018).
There are various determinants of health particular disease in Australian children which
include age, culture, gender, socio economic, lifestyle status. There is burden of disease on
children where hospitalization and healthcare cost are high for the treatment of asthma. Due to
smoker in home, children get exposed to second hand tobacco that create asthma within children.
Culture is health determinant where due to not getting proper education about negative impact of
smoking leads to create risk of asthma within children. Lifestyle also plays an important role in
risk of asthma. In Australia, there are about 10% of children who get exposed to asthma and not
get proper treatment and leads to mortality of the disease. There are very a smaller number of
children get proper treatment and health care due to high cost of healthcare treatment for this
