We produced computer-assisted instruction (CAI) software for bronchial asthma patients (asthma educational system with computer-assisted instruction; ASTCAI) to assist in self-management and avoid asthmatic attacks and death. ASTCAI is a question-and-answer program operating in a multimedia environment, and was evaluated from questionnaires which 33 patients were asked. Thirty-two patients could perform ASTCAI without any assistance. The responses of 31 patients (94%) indicated that they had no difficulty with manipulation, and 29 patients (88%) stated that the program was beneficial to control of their asthma. Elderly patients (over 65) required more time than younger adults. Emergency visits or admissions of at least 1 year after the first CAI trial decreased in eight out of 26 patients, while only two patients deteriorated compared to the previous year. Our results show that CAI is feasible for most patients, and through active self-learning CAI can improve motivation for self-management as well as supplement the physician's instructions.
