Results: The educational booklet entitled “Tenho asma, e agora? (I have asthma, what now?)” contains 32 pages and 11 topics that address the concept of the disease, triggering factors, use of medications and inhaler devices, symptoms and action plan in case of an exacerbation. The development of this educational technology required the team to review the literature based on scientific evidence, interdisciplinary articulation, creativity and active listening until reaching the final product.
