Healthcare Report: Analysis of Student Asthma Data and Attendance

This report presents an executive summary of an analysis of student asthma data collected from a hospital, focusing on the relationship between asthma, medication adherence, and school attendance. The study examined a dataset of 10 patients, revealing that asthma, Reactive Airway Disease (RAD), and other respiratory conditions significantly contribute to student absenteeism. The analysis highlights that students not adhering to prescribed medications experienced more school absences. The research employed informatics techniques, including content, narrative, and discourse analysis, to identify trends and patterns. The findings suggest that asthma is a major public health issue impacting student attendance, with male students being disproportionately affected. The report emphasizes the importance of effective asthma management campaigns involving healthcare facilities, teachers, and parents to improve student health and school attendance. The study underscores the significance of nursing informatics in improving patient outcomes and healthcare delivery by leveraging data analysis to inform public health strategies and improve healthcare services.
