This report presents the process of creating an information material for children around the age of seven that have just gotten the diagnosis asthma. With the help of literature, an interview with an expert in the field, and tests together with the target audience a material has been produced. A material that presents the information of how the everyday life with asthma will be like, in a simple and relaxed way. By explaining asthma with simple images, it makes the information more relaxed, and makes it easier for the children to process. This report accounts for the different theories, methods, and processes that has been utilised to create this material. Denna rapport syftar till att presentera den process jag genomfört för att skapa ett informationsmaterial för barn runt sju år som precis fått diagnosen astma. Med hjälp av litteratur, intervju med sakkunnig, samt tester ihop med målgruppen har ett material tagits fram. Ett material som presenterar information om hur vardagen med astma ser ut, på ett enkelt och avdramatiserat vis. Genom att förklara astma med enkla bilder gör det informationen avdramatiserad och gör den mer lättillgänglig för barnen att ta till sig. Denna rapport innehåller redogörelser för de olika teorier, metoder och processer som jag har använt för att skapa detta material.

<p>Asthma is one of the most common diseases among children. The aim of this study was, through a literature review, describing children's experience of living with asthma and show how negative experiences can be turned into positive ones, by the nurse's work. Results showed that many of the children with asthma experienced respiratory- and chestproblems, tiredness, panic, fear, anger, frustration, discomfort, irritation and anxiety. Children felt most restricted in physical activity's. Education used to enhance children's experiences included relaxation, imaginary exercises and confidence training. A lot of the children's negative experiences could have been avoided by the help and support of family, friends and teachers. It is important that the nurse gives the child time and don't trivalize their experiences. Relaxation and imaginary exercises seems to be a good complement to traditional treatment.</p>
