Background: Gamification is receiving attention because of its apparent benefits and
usefulness, particularly in the context of chronic illness and patient self-management on a
daily basis. Children with asthma benefit from game-based learning in terms of knowledge
acquisition, skill development, self-care engagement, and motivation. Aim the study aimed to
evaluate the effect of gamified electronic application on selected outcomes among school age
children with asthma. A quasi-experimental one group pretest-posttest research design was
utilized. Setting: The study was conducted in the pediatric chest outpatient clinic at Cairo
University Specialized Pediatric Hospital. Sample: a purposive sample of 60 children with
asthma was participated in the study. Data collection tools: a structured demographic
interview sheet, asthma knowledge questionnaire and childhood asthma control test. Results:
after implementing gamified electronic application all of asthmatic children have satisfactory
level of knowledge in posttest compared to no child in the pretest. Less than two third of
asthmatic children properly control asthma in posttest compared to all children were poorly
controlled in the pretest. There were highly statistical significant difference was found
between total asthma control test scores and total knowledge scores of asthmatic children in
pre and posttest. Conclusion: gamified electronic application is a feasible, acceptable and
effective method in health education and management for school age children with asthma as
it has a positive effect on improving the children's knowledge and improves asthma control.
Recommendation: Integration of the gamified electronic application for school age children
with asthma and incorporated into follow up plan to get the best outcomes for children.
