Description
Mahisha Jayakody and co-authors gather views on asthma care from migrant communities in Melbourne, Australia, in a 2026 interview study. Deaths and illness from asthma run high nationally, and language-diverse groups face added gaps in knowledge and access.
Forty-seven people with asthma from Vietnamese, Sri Lankan, and Indian backgrounds joined two nurse-led teaching sessions supported by bicultural health educators. Interviews six weeks apart surfaced weak grasp of asthma control, poor inhaler technique, and trouble finding community care. Cultural attitudes and low reading levels shaped management as well, pointing to tailored education needs.
