Experiment design and purposive sampling were utilized. The study was conducted from March 2001 to June 2001, at the outpatient department of a southern Taiwan medical center. Fifty-seven patients with asthma were randomly allocated to an experimental group (n=29), or control group (n=28). Results were as follows:(1) The score of EIA knowledge, self —efficacy of preventive and management EIA, and physical activities were moderate to high. Preventive and management EIA behaviors were at a moderate level. (2) The experimental group showed a significant improvement in EIA knowledge, self —efficacy of preventive and management EIA, preventive and management EIA behaviors, and physical activities. (3) The correlation between independent variables and demographic data revealed a positive correlation between self —efficacy of prevent and management EIA and behavior of prevent and management EIA. There was a negative correlation between physical activities and gender, age and beginning age of asthma. There was a positive correlation between self —efficacy of prevent and management EIA and use of a bronchia dilator. The study result could support the outcomes of Exercise-induced Asthma Education Program and provide for clinical nurses.
